Looking at that thumbnail, I’m not entirely sure if I’m looking at Danuel House or Russell Westbrook. It’s sort of freaking me out. Did I get an image of the wrong player? I have no way of knowing at this point, so we’re just going to roll with it. If you clicked on this video thinking it was a Westbrook highlight package, there will be no refunds. Your refund is getting to watch House hit a bunch of threes instead.
I’ve ignored a bunch of House performance already this season, and for that, I don’t apologize. 15 points a bunch of times, 16 points once, those are good games for him but am I supposed to be the one at fault for expecting better? By not making those vids I was urging House to up his production, giving him incentive to score more points so that he could appear on my channel for the first time this season.
And it worked. 17 points is more than both 15 AND 16 points, and just barely hits my threshold for him. And all he needed to do was hit more threes instead of twos (which might be cooler on average than threes but are just not worth as many points). On the Rockets, that should be easy, right? D’Antoni wishes that all 5 of his players would stand behind the arc exclusively because of something called “analytics”.
