    Melo part 2, can’t shoot, can’t defend.

    Can Russ just play for the 15 minutes thst Harden sits but play with like phenomenal intensity.

    Im serious. The Rockets should have a full court press Russ Only lineup that plays at 100% intensity but only for short stretches. Imagine it against second units in the second half. Asymmetric warfare.

    How can this not go wrong?

    Well, the only problem is that Westbrook will be playing 1 on 5 for most of the time because only he will be at 100% intensity for more than a few minutes. We've seen that a lot. WB grabs the ball, goes coast to coast; none of his teammates can catch up.

    Didn't think offense ran full throttle.
    Westbrook not gonna go all out for rebounds this early anyway.

    Glad to see house hit that fade away early like third play of the game against Spurs.

    Man, so many dummies here. Getting worked up over preseason like it's April or May.

    I’d bet he be a more than serviceable heat check at the back up 4...
