    If we could get a capable big guy taller than 6'10 to come off the bench, we would be solid. DMo isn't the right type of big man. We need a Jeff Adrien/ Dorsey type but taller.

    Ish can't shoot, but he's the fastest dude in the league.

    Ariza with 3 steals already.

    He and James play the passing lanes so well. Then add Beverley who pressures everything and Dwight to clean up mistakes. Jones just needs to be average for this team to be a beast defensively.

    This D!! Am I still watching the Rockets? Everyone is putting in mad hustle on the defensive end. Memphis is floundering.

    D-Mo is definitely showing effort on the defensive end. Black really is looking like he could be a quality backup big. He's boxing out well against guys like Gasol and Randolph. Not too shabby.

    Johnson in instead of Daniels and Ish instead of Canaan. Wonder if those two are in the dog house right now.

    Man, our big men have bricks for hands. Adrien, Black even Dmo at times.

    I don't care that it's just preseason. The defensive effort in that quarter was awesome. Even Harden!

    The bench unit reminds me of those gritty Rockets teams of Scola and Hayes that made us so proud. Fighting for every possession, showing good defense so far. Not shooting that well, but neither are they allowing Grizz to make a lot of points.

    Better showing for Tarik Black on defense
