    Obviously the wins vs grizzlies and thunder weren't a work of art...downright beastly...considering that we grinded out those Wins...

    but what i find to be very impressive so far as a team effort are two things:

    Team free throw shooting which we really needed to improve from last year...

    In the first 3 games rockets have made 77 of 87 which is 88%. :)

    every point counts... and the rockets are making the best of it...even when some players are shooting well...

    secondly is 3 Point D-fence...

    The Grizzlies and the Thunder did not hit a single 3 pointer against the rockets so far.... :cool:

    and in the past 3 games the opponent has hit 4 of 33 3-pointers which is 12%

    Looking forward to more of this and other team improvements such as transition D...

    With Battier, other defensive stats will get better.

    Premise sample your conclusion is based upon is too small.
    Let's still wait and see.
    After 20 games or so, a trend classification is more valid
