    Nene/Capela
    Anderson/Dmo?
    Ariza/Brewer
    Gordon/McDaniels
    Harden/Bev

    That's basically the rotation. Rest of our guys won't even play.

    I'm honestly in shock. This is so incredible compared to our squad last year! I literally can't wait to watch more Rockets basketball

    I think KJ has more upside than Roberson, hell, imo he's already better, and i'm not exactly a fan of KJ. Roberson was/is way overrated, he was just doing the Francisco Elson of the Thunder.

    I, for one, enjoy their downfall. Only reason to watch ESPN is for live sports. Other than that, SVP might be the only watchable guy on the network.
    Different type of players in my opinion, though they have the same role. Roberson's defense is also much better.

    So much for the " we are a superteam" lmao
    I think they will be in the high lottery only over the likes of Miami, Lakers Bkn and Philly.

    I am really liking this offense! Is this what having a coach with an actual system does for Harden? I truly hope so. I predicted a scoring title in the other thread!

    My god the Knicks look bad though, this might be the 20 win team in NY and not the Nets, LOL.

    The last play we ran that ended with a Nene mid range jumper was sick.... multiple off ball screens

    When was the last time we say anything like that from our guys

    I thought the same thing. When have we seen anything close to that the last few years. Just play after play. And defense. This is a well coached, prepared and happy team.

    My hat's off to JVG. I love listening to him gush about the Rockets, Harden and even the Texans ("They're going to Minnesota and steal one.").

    I've been a firm believer that any team post-injury Rose is on will be trash. Same goes for Rondo
