    Not a lot of D. Thought Okogie was a defender. Been ball watching at least 3 times for easy baskets.

    Defensive effort and rotation are certainly in preseason mode right now.

    I was just commenting that to my son, but I took it as a good thing. They didn’t forget how to play defense - they just aren’t really trying.

    Reed should play as much as he can alongside KD and Sengun. I think I see the vision now.

    Dyson Daniels strikes fear into any Rocket dribbling the ball within 5 feet of him.

    We're gonna miss Brooks this year. Okogie not a good replacement and hopefully DFS will be healthy through the season.

    This is what happens when we lose our 2 best defenders. Brooks and Jalen. :)

    They are a good team and improved on paper, especially if Porzingis can actually play more than 60% of the season.

    Lots of sharp shooters too.
