Last week I highlighted a basketball shooting display put on by two Boston Celtics, Ray Allen and his less well-known back-up Eddie House. Two games later and Eddie House is at it again, this time destroying the Sacramento Kings.
Eddie top scored for the Celtics with:
28 points, 10 of 13 from the field, 8 (a career high) of 9 from downtown in just 20 minutes of court-time
Every team needs a role player and Eddie House definitely knows his role on this Celtics team. He's your spot-up shooter that provides a scoring punch off the bench (when Ray Allen needs a rest). I watched a bit of footage of Eddie in action this morning and basically all he does is get himself open on offence and plants himself just behind the three-point arc. No creating off the dribble, just get open and wait for a kick-out pass from a teammate.
Knowing his strengths, Eddie House has carved out an 11 year NBA career basically being a great basketball shooter that can knock down the three-ball.
