    We have some interesting young talent. Want to see more of Caboloco and Clark.

    Oops. I got him confused with that journeyman quarterback.

    Easy preseason mistake to make. Squad looks ready to go though. When does the season start?

    Different refs, the ones that the league sent out to fk up over during game 7, has a tendency to not blow the whistle when harden is getting mugged throughout the season.

    Melo looks like he's going to fit in quite nicely. Ennis very impressive as an Ariza replacement and I'm pleasantly surprised MCW played so well because the last time I was watching clips of him on YouTube it was a compilation of him blowing layups last year.

    Man are we going to have a logjam at center with Caboclo, Hartenstein, NeNe, Chriss, Qi and Capela. Harden and Paul were on point.

    So glad to have Rockets Basketball back!

    Everyone played well tonight. Really excited to see Melo playing well. I think him and Gordon are gonna ball out this year. We already know Harden and Paul will do their thing.

    Bruno and Clark looked really good. A lot of people sleeping on Chriss. If he can play within himself and not do too much, he can be a solid backup. MCW looks like he's gonna carve himself a role here with us. He looks like he can do a lot of things well other than shooting which is fine on this team.

    22 turnovers--definitely a preseason game, but we scored 131 points...unreal potential here ... and we were barely interested in the game.
    Our defense showed in stretches. It's hard to believe how much better we are on defense than this time a year ago.

    Caboclo showed that he belongs out there. MCW should have lots of chances to close out blow out as the PG like he did tonight.
    And Chris Paul is setting the bar pretty high. I think his intensity shocked (and offended) the officials. Thus, the T's.

    Wow this Caboclo kid was a pleasant surprise. Dude is all over the place with those long arms. This is a keeper.

    We will have a 15-deep roster plus the ability to upgrade with our MLE during buyout season :eek:
