    I'm loving the ball movement.

    I believe they said 27 out of the 39 buckets were assisted.

    The team is making it look sooooooo easy. Complete opposite of how the fakers looked in preseason last year with Dwight.

    Hope coaches come up with rotations to use all players strength.

    I have no idea how all this started, nor do I have an interest in finding out, but what kind of question is this?

    Of course you can be racist against yourself. Did you know that people in the Dominican Republic deny their African heritage because they've been convinced that being black is bad? Or have you ever met Filipinios who claim that they're Spanish and Chinese when they're really full Filipino because Spanish and Chinese are "better" on the racial/ethnic hierarchy?

    Back to topic though, what an awesome game by the Rockets! I could only catch the first half before falling asleep, but Lin looked especially great, and I loved the teamwork between all the guys like Harden and Parsons and Smith and Howard.

    No because Yao got injured during the 2nd round and well we know about T-mac.

    With both teams healthy, who would win? Yeah, that's what I thought. That answers the question. That team was better.

    I'm not sure it's fair to say that team was "way" better. I think this team has a chance to finish with a better record. To be determined...

    Stray thought, but I'm wondering if part of McHale's decision to start Beverley in Manila was in consideration of making sure Lin is well rested for his Taipei start. If so, it seems to have worked out well.

    Lin played in Manila so it really doesn't matter whether he started or not... You're overthinking.

    That team sucks, it has way too much weaknesses. Every time i see a team front yao, the team collapsed. With this team, we can do it outside, inside, sideways and whatever side you want.

    It was an experiment, he said so himself. Why would he lie?

    Who cares. That's kind of like asking "If I won the Lottery, what would I buy first?".
