    I don't understand why the Rockets are doing that.

    I hope MDA realize there’s more talent on this team and to expand his rotation.

    Everyone needs to tear the bleachers up and raise hell about trying to stream the final preseason game. This is total bullish-t.

    Carmelo Anthony makes 4 quick shots (10 pts) and suddenly we go from being up 85-82 to 95-85 over a 2 minute span.

    Streams are what gives Melo his Olympic powers. Continue the streams Tilman.

    Loved Melo popping off in the 4th. As people have pointed out, if the refs are going to do calls like this every preseason to set the tone for the regular season, they should really minimize the FTA given.

    I think MDA is just experimenting. I hope he just experementing. No way Melo is the backup to Capela and MCW doesn't get on the court with his defense and ball handling.

    I felt good about the rotation that played today. That's more like how it will look during the regular season I'm guessing. Looked like they did last season. Ennis and Melo fit right in.

    Whenever guys like MCW, Chriss, Hartenstein, etc. played in the past two games with Melo and Gordon starting and PJ Tucker not playing, it just looked different out there. Nobody was quite sure how to play, and it looked iffy.

    The rotation today was straight-up Ennis for Ariza replacement and Melo for Anderson replacement. Seemed to fit like a glove.

    I think some other guys like Hartenstein, MCW, and Knight will be used for spot minutes and depth when guys sit out. I think the rotation today is probably going to be pretty much what we see in the regular season.
