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.... 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...
