Danuel House hit 6 of 11 three-point attempts in this game, which was a better mark than James Harden’s 4-of-11 from the threezone. Rockets fans will certainly be pleased that he seems to have rounded back into form after being a big ol’ booty cheek for the past few weeks. However, Rockets fans’ happiness will be tempered by the fact that Eric Gordon tied an NBA record by going 0-of-12 from three.
Forget about House for a moment. I want to talk about Eric Gordon. This is the dude that scored fifty just a few days ago. And now he’s going to turn into the a walking portable brick factory? Actually, he’s been a brick factory for most of the season, going 2-of-10 in a couple of games and only having one game where he matched the accuracy and volume of House in this game. Still, I have to give Erbrick Gordon props for deflecting some negative attention away from Brick Lopez, who is the other guy who has gone 0-of-12 in a game.
Okay, back to House. He’s just one of many players on the Rockets that is tasked with being a volume three-point shooter, but he’s one of the better ones. As he’s proven recently, he’s not the most consistent dude out there, but thoughts of his inconsistency vanish when he pulls out one of his sick dunks that he saves for special occasions. Dunks cure so many ills.
I wish I could dunk. Then all my ills would be cured. And Jennifer would still love me.
