Ha! So true. I bagged this trade when it came through. I thought Eddie House would walk in here and just chuck 3s like he did in Boston.
But he played really well! I am merrily eating my own words.
Clearly he's not a real PG, not like Rodriguez, but he played good defense and derailed OKC's penetration on a handful of separate occasions. One sequence in particular even helped David Lee block a shot! My God!
All around tonight's defensive effort was better without N8, Duhon and Harrington in there to make a lemon of it.
There were your classic Lee **** ups - none more cringe worthy than not rotating on to Durant which sent the game to OT - but the real stand out to me was Gallo. He played some excellent man to man on Durant in the 3rd quarter. Very aggressive, focused and even firey.
There was so much to love about tonight's game. Even Eddie House.
