    As far as I'm concerned there were no real negatives in this game. Some people were disappointed with D-Mo, but I think he did OK as the game went on. D-Mo was going up against Thabeet at times, who isn't very good, but is huge compared to D-Mo.

    After the game Murphy said he was surprised at how well they did. Murphy thought we would be all helter skelter and out of control. But, the Rockets looked pretty good on offense when you consider we had a bunch of young guys playing together for the first time. I'm looking forward to the next game.

    I totally agree. I think they presented themselves very well. I think it's going to be fun to watch the Rockets play ball. I am so stoked for the season.

    Even though it was just a pre-season game you have to remember, our starters didn't play much either. I believe our bench is one of the best at the moment in the west.

    Hmm I think you should slow your role on that. Last year the Spurs I believe had the best bench in the west.

    I'm more concerned about offense than defense.

    I think only Lin, and hopefully Lamb, can create for themselves and others.

    Asik will have a huge impact.

    I've been waiting for the rebuild for a year or more now. I love watching young players give their all. Keep the expectations in check because this is preseason. And even if they take out a giant every now and again, new, young teams are usually not consistant.

    Just sit back and enjoy watching the players grow.

    He had a few nice passes and was playing out of position. He kept falling a lot. I'm not really worried about D-Mo. He'll be set by the time the season starts.

    I want to see results. We have been suffering as a fan base for long enough. I'm behind White because he is on the roster. You think Mchale and DM are happy with the way he handled things? Not in the least. They have to remain politically correct. Excuse me for thinking that it was HIS decision to enter the NBA draft. Who would have thought that flying all the freakin time is in the job description?

    I brought up Perry Jones because he looked good out there last night. You could tell that he has put in some work.


    Btw, me being a Baylor fanboy as you so delicately put it means that I've actually seen White play before his name popped up around draft time :p

    Wow @ Terence "Terror" Jones. His first game and he looked like a pro against the second best team in the league. Defense and offense, and a great attitude, I hope this kid takes over the league.

    Terence "TheTakeOver" Jones.
