    This would be a 20 pt blow out if this was a regular season game and the main rotation was playing the entire game.

    I couldn't care less about the final score.

    I wish Udoka won our first game at least.

    Its kinda ridiculous Rox starters destroyed the Jazz by 19 pts now we about to lose the game.

    Rockets draft Reed because of his shooting.

    But the kid does not shoot.

    Well I do. I'd rather get the dub then give Samuels and Nfaly Dante development time.

    I mean it literally doesn't matter. This is what preseason is for. To shake off rust and see what you got in your 11-14 end of bench players.

    2 players on the starting 5 that basically have no offense.

    Jabari and FVV

    Main takeaway from this game is that Alpi is still our best player. You know what you’ll get from him. Jalen still proving to be very streaky. Misses the easy Js

    I like what I saw from the starters and look forward to the return of Tari and Brooks.

    FVV had like 7 asts. Jabari had decent M2M defense Markannen couldnt score on him had to bailed out by superstar calls again and again.

    Preseason games don't matter I like what I saw in the first half, this is where you experiment because they don't count. Glad to have basketball back

    I had to spend most of the 1st quarter trying to figure out why NBA.com said a game in Utah between the Rockets and Jazz was blacked out in Dallas and I'd have to wait 3 days to watch it. That was in Firefox. I finally tried the Edge browser and it worked fine. I decided to clear my cache/cookies in Firefox and that fixed it.

    Favorite moment: Coach Ime telling Amen to tuck in his shirt.
    Scariest moment: Thompson's flat tire because it scared the F out of me. Had a McGrady flashback. I've never jumped higher than a credit card so I have no idea what it feels like. I can still hear Ackerman's "Oh Nooo, Nooo"

    I liked how everyone played including Reed's jittery debut. Pesky defense translates. Ticky tacky 3 point foul was not called on Cam but who's counting.

    Funny how people crowned him already. Just like Cam last year he has a Long way to go.
