    Better shooter but not better point guard.

    So happy to see Canaan stepping for the back up PG spot.

    Canaan is too good of a scorer and overall player to be playing behind Ish. The offense looks so much better with him on the court.

    if the spurs didn't care about the game and perfecting their play for the season they wouldn't be playing the Big 3. I think you are discounting the Rockets team defense.

    If Rockets can keep up this type of defensive intensity, it might mitigate the fact that we have no real play makers coming off the bench. Rockets look good even when Harden is having an off shooting night and Dwight is out of the lineup.

    Defensive fundamentals are significantly improved. Offense? Not so much.

    Can't wait until the actual season starts so that we can see these teams playing at full speed. :)

    What kind of review is that? They should have reversed that Ginobili flop on Papa!

    Our second unit doesn't need a distributor. It needs someone who can get a green light to score. Canaan seems a much better fit for that role.

    I also like the idea of reuniting Daniels and Canaan for our backup backcourt. They put up so many points together with the Vipers.

    I think canaan should slim down some.

    I mean, he's pure muscle, but carrying around all that muscle is going to wear him down. And no matter how much muscle he has he's never going to have the size or strength or mass to really get that large a benefit from it.

    The announcers are talking about how good it looked to see Bev running the offense. Like I said.

    Harden already finding a backcourt partner who can shoot 3s and finish strong drives. Harden ultra-lite

    Write more often.

    Canaan is playing really good though. Minimizing defensive and ballhandling mistakes. And scoring as always.

    If the Rockets expend a lot of energy on defense running around keeping up with the Spurs, our best offense is really get the 3pt shooters open :)

    kostas needs to remember that the nba Court is bigger. Sometimes he stays too deep in defence .
    Flopping is a curse for the basketball both in Europe and in America. Some players should be ashamed

    Problem is our second unit also needs defense, and Ish is pretty solid there while Canaan commits too many mistakes right now. Besides that, Canaan is not always an efficient scorer, he's been it against third line players, but he still has to prove he can be dependable against true NBA players.
