    I knew all along decent coaching would make a world of difference, but even I'm shocked how well Ime has these boys playing, on the defensive end in particular.

    It was bad man. I had a hard time believing that we had to be blown out every ****ing game. I know the rest of the season won't be like this, but just the attention to detail and effort that is there this year is refreshing. Hoping they can keep it up. The shooting is bound to regress to the average, but their defense will be what makes them a better team this year and competitive.

    Man! If Jabari made one of the two freebies, we are 5 - 2.

    Lost to very good teams in Orlando and GSW.

    This has all the look to be a very good season

    Oh yes, there will be many Blow outs, maybe not by 30 exactly but by 15 or 16.

    I have underestimated the Offensive side, I think Ben Sullivan is now in charge of the Offense mostly.

    And maybe the Rockets hit a rough patch, but I think Ime would not allow it. It is crazy, I know.

    I try to be more progressive thinking but the speed at which they improve is unprecedented tho for any NBA team.


    There are only one or two teams that are really that good......and that might be Denver fully healthy.....not many.

    All three Houston franchises look to be in a good place right now (and also the Dynamo).
