    I’d start Tari to help his confidence. Adams is a fine backup center.

    Should be easy win if we can keep the TOs low, missing FVV really showed first game with 22 TOs.

    We did very well when Tari started last year, so I'm fine with it. But our bench unit would get a little worse.

    It'll be interesting to see if this starting lineup continues once DFS is healthy.

    I hope Ime stops playing Amen and Steve on the court together. It really ****s up spacing and clogs the lane for KD, Sengun and Amen (for the dunker spot) to operate.

    I thought the double line up last year was supposed to be used in certain situations but now it seems like Ime wants to make it our full-time identity.

    Jalen Duren probably salty as well about his contract situation. Really bad situation for the Pistons to have their main 5 man basically feeling like Tari Eason.

    Need some Dorian Finney-Smith to lock down that 6th choice PF slot.

    I got a DFSiciency and the only cure is DFS.

    Huge acquisition by Stonetitta.

    I don't think Detroit is going to be an "easy win" coming into the game in the near future. Of course there will be times when we blow them out due to whatever factors, injuries, luck, etc, (god willing), but they have a lot of talent and we need to take them seriously. That said,

    This Rockets team needs to fix two things.

    limit turnovers to 12 or less per game
    Fix Reed iso defense.

    if we can’t fix these two then I need a good defensive PG either way low turnover rate. I just hope we don’t wait too long and it costs us wins.

    Doesn't look like we're going. I'm spoiled on lower bowl and they are too expensive. At the MLK Day game with the Pistons last season I got a chance to sit very close and watch Cade interact with his teammates on the court and his vibe was electric. Oh well.

    Targeting the Nets game on Monday now. Lower bowl prices should end up within the budget.
