    Rocket can be playing like straight up dog water turning it over left and right and leaving the rim black and blue with their bricks, but you’ll look up and it’s a 7 point game midway through the 3rd

    What implementation? I am pretty sure he will do screen+iso all year long and call it player development.

    So out of the games we have played, how many did you have us as favourite? i had maybe one game as favourite. Utah at home. I can see lots of little improvements that will get better as the season goes along. Our younger players will get more confident as they get more games in to them. Garuba looks good on defence. Sengun is not fouling as much as last season. Porter Jnr improved his free throws so far. trhere are little wins you can see. Just got to put it all together.

    People said Jabari could be an elite 3-D player at least.

    But he still didn’t show it on the court.

    I think Green needs a lot of time with the ball in his hands to get used to the physical nature. Right now he gets the ball in spurts. He needs to be in a situation maybe where he can get 5 or 6 turnovers and learn from them. So if he keeps playing like this for a few more games, maybe a month long G league assignment where they ramp up his usage where he remembers what it feels like to be a lead scorer.

    I don't know. Maybe that's too far. Also I didn't see the org would send their number two pick to the g league. It would be a bad look.

    I want Jalen to have a good game that isn't based on him shooting the three ball well. Is he capable of that?

    Very good second quarter, won it by 8. I feel that we could be up more if the refs would give us some foul calls. Green gets hit all the time and no calls.

    Toyota Center definitely needs to level up their halftime game. I hear Beyonce ad lib H-Town in her song(s), I'm like gurrrl when last time you showed up. :p come perform or at least sit front row.

    He would still need to get the ball - who will pass it to him? And we have about a 15 % chance to get him if we end up with the worst record in the league (30 % if Nets also end up with one of the worst records).

    All the things you mentioned is personal growth that they improved over the offseason. How is our team defense? How about play calling? Lineups? In game adjustments? Offense scheme?
