Honestly, I could care less what Sam says, actions are stronger than words. If Doc plays him and it works, great. If Doc plays House and it works great. If Doc has to use House one day because he's hot then use a quick hook when he struggles to put Sam in and it works, great.

I don't care!!
As long as it works I could care less who's feelings are hurt, who is used, who is not used, what everyone here at Celticsblog thinks, what the ooposition thinks or what my dog thinks.
All I want is it to work and for the Celtics to advance.
Last series the Celtics would have had a hard time winning games 1 & 2 without Sam and hard pressed to win game 5 and 7 without House. They were both pivotal in the series and both can contribute. So use what's working until it isn't working and go in another direction.
It worked last series, it can work again this series.
