Asik and Parsons looked good. Lamb is going to be a star. Everyone else... Damn, I just realized how much I miss Scola.
Well at least size matters in preseason scrimmage. Asik is definitely beasting over everyone else in practice. Nice to see a true big man on the roster for a change.
Ugh! Ugly. To be expected with so many new guys and so many guys trying to carve out a spot. But most of that was very ugly. Asik is huuuuuuge. Dude towers of McHale. He must be like 7'2" or so. Lamb looked like he's ready to play. I didin't think anybody else stood out. Looked like high school scrum ball to me.
Jeremy Lin with the deflected passes, jumping in the air with no one to pass to.... I was hopeful but deep down inside, I know it's hard to change old habits. I think he will continue to have high TO games this year. He's really somewhat of an enigma. One minute he looks like an all-star, the next minute he looks like a scrub.
Things that I got from the videos. Asik is going to be huge. Douglas is way better than Machado. Machado needs to work on his defense and lateral movements. (coaching staff kept screaming at him to move closer and pressure and not give so much room, and Douglas made him pay by hitting that shot). PPat moving better but still same old, getting blocked while trying to dunk. Parsons and Lamb stood out. The rest, I guess it is the first day. Thanks for the video.
The Rockets looked very raw as one would expect for this time of year without chemistry from the previous season.
Well, he tried to pass to Chandler in the corner but got deflected. If it is real game, would not be counted as TO, because they got the ball back. Fans would be talking about his 3 assists and no TO. Lol. Lin does look a bit sluggish.
Anyone have a new Roster list with everyone's jersey number? Who was 0 and 32? Terrence Jones and Douglas?
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a center. Also, anyone else think Martin looked good out there? Made some nice crisp passes and went down the lane for a dunk.
At first i thought he did...but then i realized he wasn't going full speed. He looked good because he knew what to do and most of the others didn't.
