    Most of the board was sleeping on TJones (came last in most rookie polls), but he jumped out today after being under the radar all summer.

    He does... when the game is on the line.

    The thing about Jeremy is that he looks average and even bad sometimes (less of the time than more) but when the game is on the line and the pressure is high he's great.

    Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones was just ... WOW. Played like a veteran. No moves wasted; made winning plays on both ends of the court.

    That young line-up at the end of the 3rd who outscored the OKC reserves 16-2 was pure intensity. Douglas, Lamb, Morris, Jones, PPat(?). Props to them.

    We've got a quality bench. It's the starters who need to make sure we don't get blown out early.

    Jones' game translates to the NBA style of open play than it does to the constraints of the college game.

    One thing that really stood out to me watching tonights game is how strong he is.. he's going to gobble up so many weak-side rebounds and he's going to have a lot of put backs.

    Wow, Terrence Jones is really good! I feel like he can play some backup C because he can do some pick and roll. Overall really impressed with this group. We need to do better on defense though.

    Our second team won the game for us. However it was against OKC's bench, but we have a lot of rookies, and they seem to be beasting. I'm excited for the season!

    Amazing game by Jones. Probably the least talked about rookie too. Maybe they'll actually post his interview on nba.com instead of just White's now?

    Lamb and Jones looks real impressive today. And Martin actually plays defense?

    And Dmo really got do some heavy lifting to gain weights.

    Douglas is pretty solid. He could be the steal of the deal.

    Ok, I can exhale, the pre-season has hit!

    What I am stoked about: the second team Rockets are going to wreak havoc on many other teams seconds. When Roy White synches in it could be pretty heady stuff IMO.

    Go Babie Rockets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That was a really fun game boy have I missed basketball. Watching the Suns play with Dragic. This thread is something else though.

    Could Jones play the 3 spot? New 2nd team Line Up:

    PG:Douglas
    SG:Lamb
    SF:Jones
    PF:White
    C:Motiejunas

    That team would destroy 2nd units..quick and athletic.
