Eddie House Gunning

[celts55]

Bring on Starbury!

While I'm pretty sure you're being sarcastic, if he came cheap I'd give him a shot. It would have to be made clear to him that at the first hint of unacceptable behavior, he'd be gone. What the heck, maybe playing with Ray, Paul nad KG would straighten him out a little.

They need to get him going again.


Take the ball out of his hands. 


Put him back to basics on offense.


Three things for House to do on offense.

1) find an opening
2) Catch
3) Shoot.


Celtics do this with him, he will become the player they need out of him.

Yeah, because Garnett did such a stellar job of straightening Ricky and Blount out in Minnesota.  Because Paul and Rivers did such a stellar job of straightening out Ricky, Blount, and Banks in Boston. 

If management thought PG was such a desperate situation, Cassell is a winner...and a lot more logical solution than foxhole stephone.

House is paid to gun.

I have been saying this for that last few weeks now ,  but I have seen enough of Eddies gunning.  Hit or miss he is taking bad shots,  it looks like it is not even within the flow of the offence.  Biggest offseason mistake bringing him back not Posey.  Our bench needs a scorer plain and simple, yes size would be nice but a scorer is needed.

  James Posey was hardly a scorer for us. All of the bench regulars outscored him on a per minute basis last year.

This is getting ridiculous. Two weeks ago Eddie was hitting every shot imaginable and from a long ways away. Eddie is what he is, a shooter and a bench player. If he was good enough to start, he would. He's trying to help our team by leading the second unit. He could be used differently, but that is not up to him. His intensity/execution on the defensive end is fine.

Guys, we are 28-5. We have the best record in the league. It is still December. Some of you are reminding me of some of the crazy parents I had to deal with when I coached. We should have six months of basketball left. There will be bumps in the road. We can certainly play better, but last I checked there has never been an undefeated team in the NBA.

We are who we are. Let the professionals do their jobs and we can pass out judgements when the time is right (end of the season).

TP4U tim, posey wasen't a good scorer. he was an awesome clutch catch and shoot guy who played great defense, ala' bowen.

the reason he got so many open looks last year was he often started a break with his great defense and hustle, and thus was the trailer since he needed to pick himself out of the stands 

If your looking for scoring punch off the bench, it ain't james. Now if your looking for a defenseive wing (something we could use right now) who can hit open three's, thats james.

eddie is in a slump mentally and physically right now as far as Im concerned...Im getting sick of him shooting lights out in garbage time and like complete garbage in meaningful time...Also in the preseason he was shooting lights out, as soon as the regular season started he was in a slump....TA just isnt Posey, and this has its effect on Eddie imo. he has been useless on this road trip, he might as well stayed home

Point taken. It was just a thought.

Eddies real job with this team is shooting the outside shot.  He isn't hitting right now but he's a vet and knows that is why he is on the court.  He might not be the fastest defender but he works his ass off out there.
Davis I agree, can't see why the pt, Leon does a great job for us.
Side note; loved posey but he wasn't a true scorer we could rely on.  He did a great job on d, rebounding and spot up 3's.  What we miss w/ posey is this, when PP was out you could put posey in the starting lineup and it would be smooth, hardly miss a beat.
Who of our current subs could slide into the starting team like this??
Leon at pf sure, besides that?
give pruitt some real time!

[moiso]

The problem isn't that he's in a shooting slump, the problem is that he's taking horrible shots.  And when he does make a few in a row, it always seems to be in a blowout situation.  At least TA helps with D and gets to the line.

[BrickJames]

Bring on Pruitt!

[housecall]

If Eddie had of made that shot over Oden's outstretched arm last night,we wouldn't be having this conversation.

If the Celtics didn't lose three of four, there'd be nothing to talk about either...

But he did, and they did.

[RebusRankin]

I'd like to see Pruitt get some run to see what he can do.
