    Rockets looking good offensively so far. They are getting good shots, the floor spacing is solid, and they are letting T-Mac be a scorer instead of playmaker.

    Unfortunately defensively the team is not playing well. They are not contesting jumpshots, and while T-Mc just made a great block he is getting beat as Prince is moving off ball and around screens every single time.

    Good start.

    Luther's been playing really well as of late.

    We still can't make lay ups though.

    As I said before, they are looking really smooth. They are just overpassing a bit (not a bad thing), missing easy chip shots (Luther and Chuck), and Yao is not playing well to start off the game. But, overall, things are looking encouraging.

    T-Mac couldve made that 3 if he was like a foot closer, damn, it still looked like it couldve gone in from 30ft though.

    Our ball motion is not as fluid as the last two games so far. But I don't know if it's because of us or if it's really because of Detroit's superior defense as compared to the Nuggets and Bulls.

    I suspect it is Detroit's superior defense that is making our ball movement look more lethargic versus the last two teams.

    I like what I have seen from the Rockets the past couple of games. They are moving the ball around the offense is looking much better once shots start falling. I also believe the comments made by Magic have made T-Mac wake up.

    Sorry, it's not looking that great. We are not getting the "easy" layups thus far. I think Detroit's defense is the reason, rather than our lack of offense. We'll see...

    Luther had an easy layup, Chuck had an easy layup, Battier had a wide open 3...yo cannot expect every possession to be a layup. But we are getting good, high quality shots off of solid ball movement.
