We are scoring over 100+ points a game. We lost 3 key players in the off season. Our starting pg is out and we are complaining about the offensive production. Come on mayne. Plus we are only 4 games into the season, give these boyz time to gel please.
We've handled it well for a team with injuries, but there's a lot left to be desired. I like how we are 4-0 and I agree, last year we would've lost simply because we tried to out shoot teams instead of play defense. The true test of our character will come in the next 3, against 2 of the 3 best teams right now and the champions. Let's see if they resort to what they were used to for the past 2 years when things get tough, which is trying to win it with offense.
We've beaten teams that we're supposed to beat. In the past that wouldn't have happen. This team looks good on defense, well u can see the effort on the defensive end. Mchale is still working on rotations, still think we're short on the bench when Howard goes out, would be nice if we had asik but we can't have it all...next 3 games are going to be a true test! Go rockets!
The Rockets haven't really been tested yet, but that shouldn't take away from their 4-0 start. Let's not forget a year ago they had to rally from a huge deficit to beat the Jazz in Utah. And then they lost in Philly in OT(albeit sans Harden). So they're already off to a better start, especially with their 3-point shooting and defense. Now the real test begins though.
They're all NBA teams, n we played 3 games away, 2 vs home openers. Any team can beat any team at home. Yea it might not be that impressive but W is a W, n I'll take it. What impresses me the most is that nobody scored 100 on us yet, Boston dropped 113 on Dallas.
Exactly, in fact, Philly has given us plenty of problems the last few years, I Believe we're 4-6 during that span. It's encouraging that we're crushing the crappy teams. Now, I'd be worried, if we were struggling or losing against them..in fact, it seems like we've hardly trailed in any of the first few games.
Thou I agree we have played some weaker teams but I think we haven't seen yet what the Rockets is really capable. Hakeem said he expects Dwight to have an MVP-caliber season. But frankly Dwight is not even on his Playoff-level yet. Maybe the wings will get better feeding the post. I can only expect things will go better as the new players adjust to the core group.
McHale plays Master of Disguise vs Pop lol.. "so stupid.. it just might work" Put Ariza on Bosh and Jones on Deng. Playing with confidence we should coast. Spurs will be though even if we win they always make it a game. Who I really want us to beat is GS. Harden needs to dominate Curry and Thompson and see what espn says then.
