    I agree punk-ass Dwight looks solid. Even had a bank shot jumper and willingness to get into the pick n roll. he is playing against the Cleveland scrubs though.

    you're better than me @ParaSolid, I want Dwight to fail in spectacular fashion. First half Highlights below.

    Kay Felder should have been the Rockets 2nd round pick. He looks really quick.

    I honestly think bev is going to make Dwight cry this year. Dude knows how to press buttons.

    Interesting, Dwight's not copying Harden's hairstyle any more.

    That was the real reason they couldn't get along. James didn't like Dwight stealing his swag.

    LOL I get it. Hard to wish that guy anything but failure after last season. I just try to remember Game 5 against LAC as often as possible to offset the memories of his McGrady-like final season.

    If Dwight's motivated and happy that's a good thing, we saw that he was a beast in his 1st season with us and during 2015 Playoffs. It's when Dwight loses it and just QUITS on the team like he did last year that he becomes a liability.

    The only notable Cavs player was James effin Jones, in other words you can't garner much from this performance

    tissue paper defense, haha

    Good for Dwight! Despite what many think, I wish him nothing but the best in Atlanta (except when he plays us). Yeah he might've quit on the rockets and unsurprisingly didn't buy into the PnR role that he so naturally excels at..but he seems to have a good heart and instead of harboring a cold outlook on life, he gets knocked for smiling and being too goofy. In the grand scheme of things, I can't root against that guy. He gives back to the community

    I have no hard feelings against him and hope he does well in ATL but he looks every bit like he's about to turn 31 in a couple months and then some. He has no more lift and looks noticeably softer.

    "Dwight wasn't the solution, but he wasn't the problem either."

    -Kevin McHale

    Not a huge Dwight fan, but the people who think the Rockets problems were all due to Dwight (and JB) are gonna have a wakeup call.

    Wish him the best in Atlanta. Rockets failed to deliver on their promise to Dwight. While he should not have thrown in the towel, he was not the 1st or the 2nd or the 3rd reason for our pathetic last season

    He looks better. Our defense and rebounding is gonna suck
