    He and D-Mo have already had two missed reads on the defense of the PnR. The first looked like Harden. The second looked like D-Mo. preseason though so it means little.

    Is there a live Clutchfans chat room somewhere? refreshing the page and scrolling so much for a lot of <10 word replies gets old quick.

    My stream isn't really a video, its more like pictures strung together :(
    Im mostly just going by the boxscore :(

    How is Dwight looking in the Rockets' fast pace?
    How did JLin get those 3TOs?
    Who's looked better, TJones or DMo?

    The Rockets are going to be good, really good. The starting lineup showed a lot of chemistry for a first game. I was surprised.

    Loved Harden pass to Dwight. There is a reason why Harden is one of trhe best if not the best pick and roll passer in the league. Lin played well and Jones I predicted will be a starter a few weeks ago.

    Dmo looks terrible man. He is just not ready yet. Howard looks fantastic on both sides of the ball.

    Motiejunas is at his best when he's involved in the offense, he's less active/assertive than Jones when he's off the ball.

    And in that starting lineup, he's the 5th option, so he's been passive and mostly invisible. Jones would probably fit better in the starting lineup.

    As I predicted, this team is well ahead of the curve. All of the pre-season practices are already paying off.

    Parsons will have a hard time touching the ball. There will be less touches all around. The ball will go to DH most of the time. That doesn't surprise me, but what surprises me is the amount of handling that Lin did with the ball. Him and DH probably had the most touches. WIll be interesting to see how goes as the season starts.

    Dwight looks fast and explosive
    Lin looks good and very quick

    Jones is miles better.

    1. Good
    2. Being sloppy with the ball, I guess. He's outplayed Jrue Holiday so far though
    3. TJones

    Jlins TOs:
    1. Steal on the perimeter by Anthony Davis
    2. Missed AlleyOop attempt to DH
    3. Travel after a pump fight (one could argue he should have taken the pretty open three)

    Dwight is doing amazing, Lin looks improved, Harden as usual is amazing but with improved D, and Jones Vs Dmo is not even a question, Jones.

    First turnover was because of Davis's long ass arms
    2nd was alley oop attempt to Dwight
    3rd was stepping out of bound

    1. Anthony Davis made a great play to steal the ball from Lin when he was starting to drive to the basket.
    2. Failed alley-oop to Dwight.
    3. Travel after a kick-out pass where he should have shot the three.
