    Man all last year i was screaming that the players we have arent trash they were all just in the wrong places and under utilized. I slandered Silas for good reason. THIS ONLY PRESEASON THOUGH! i dont want to get excited. the bar is so low though.

    Time to see more Jeenathan. Was it one-off or is he really good?

    I think the Rockets are pretty much telling the league to get ready for a track meet. Jabari and the others are screaming at the refs to hand them the ball so they can push it up the court, but the refs are slacking. Jabari tries pushing the ball up the court every time he gets it in the backcourt. It's fun to see.

    It’s regular season. Could mean absolutely nothing. But this is some really good basketball — sprinkled with some erratic sequences. If they did this in the regular season, they could beat most teams. Sharing, passing, attacking, deflecting, playing hard on both ends and running every chance. Once again Green looks weak driving to the basket. Sengun still hasn’t shown a lot of sauce but has made a lot of good plays. I didn’t even realize Brooks was starting bc I don’t recall him touching the ball for the first 8 or 9 minutes.

    Don't lie ... you know you're holding back. You're excited. And you're jinxing it. Just admit it.

    It's kind of funny because Silas always talked about playing faster but never could get them to push the ball.

    Looks like Ime got that message through. They are way too athletic to play with a slow pace.

    3 shot attempts, that's the limit, Dillon.

    Relax

    It’s ok to get excited after the crap we’ve watched for 3 years.
