The Ducklings!

House-Holmes, Wilson-Watson, and Moriarty got their own posts, its only fair that the Team should get theirs, too.

House's team used to be comprised of Drs Allison Cameron, Robert Chase, and Eric Foreman, and until very recently contained Drs Remy Hadley (Thirteen), Chris Taub, Lawrence Kutner, and Foreman.

House's team, called by some fans his Ducklings, serve many different roles for House.
In differential diagnoses sessions, they are his Watson: their less than brilliant ideas give House something to work with, and the cryptic metaphors he directs towards them give him a way to sort out what he thinks about a case. They are a sounding board. They are Watson.

However, in the treatment of the patients, they are more like the Irregulars: they run errands, perform operations, administer treatments, intimidate patients, and act as general eyes and ears, so House doesn't have to actually interact with any patients.
