    Why call fouls you're not gonna call them during regular season?

    The refs are calling fouls every 20 seconds. It's beyond boring.

    Trevor's shot looks so much better than it did in his last stint here

    So um, why are we playing 4 on 5? Does TJones know the game has started?

    More likely players who are healthy and sitting tonight will play big minutes next game and someone who is playing this game will sit out then.

    Not just you. Just not much happening... fouls constantly being called.

    Rockets' bench is worrisome right now. Ton of question marks. When Harden is off the floor, they need to find ways to score.

    Well, so far the concerns are the same.

    Back up PG and back up Center positions haven't shown anything to make me feel like the team will be in good shape if Harden or Dwight hit a bump.

    Hoping the 2nd half will look better...

    Early observations.

    Harden is doing Harden things.
    Ariza looks much better this go around.
    Nick Johnson's D looks very good. I love his on-ball pressure and willingness to fight through screens. I think he, Bev, and Canaan will help push each other in practice.
    Papa hasn't done much on offense but he is active. He cuts hard, boxes out, does all the little things you want your role players to do. I don't think that's worth the MLE but he will be if he can be a 38%+ 3pt shooter.
    I think i like Jeff Adrien. He plays big, goes after the ball. And is just mean. We need more badassery on this team.
    DMo with more million dollar moves and $.10 finishes. *sigh* I can see why people drool over him. All the tools are there but if he never gets it all together whats the point.
    TJones is invisible tonight. I really wanted to see him become assertive now that the #3 scoring option spot is up for grabs.
    Ish Smith is totally useless without even a threat of a jumpshot. He is utterly useless. Did I mention he is useless?

    We need an instant offense type of guy off of the bench in the Monta Ellis, Jamal Crawford, mold. Guys with big nuts. Our bench guys all play hard but we have no semblance of offense at all. Idk if Nick Johnson can become that. It depends on how his ball handling/vision/decision making develops but I like what I see. He kind of reminds me of a John Starks.

    Excited about the season but this roster needs to improve for sure.

    If we actually hit some free throws, we would be very much in this game. We've missed like 12 freethrows.

    No wonder Morey wants that free throw rule change so badly.

    Why even have this game? Just have a free throw shooting contest between both teams behind closed doors.
