    I don't like playing small all the time . Give hartenstein some burn . Melo/tuck at the 5 should be more of an emergency/ niche lineup .

    I agree it's a good lineup , but I want to limit Our size deficit

    Rockets are wrong for giving these guys false hope. We will be up by 18 at half again.....This team is ridiculous

    Why? It's working. Rockets getting rebounds and defending against one of the best rebounding teams in the league. If you can get away with putting your best players on the floor at the same time might as well do it. Good practice when the Rockets are going against boogie and draymond

    So, was Morey basically hiding Clark all along during the summer league so he didn't have to trade him to dump Anderson? Lol

    Melo looks like Anderson out there without the willingness to set screens.

    I think eventually we won't be able to get away with it. Also , with an alley oop or big PnR threat our offense doesn't rely on 3's as much since we can let harden set up a rolling big .

    that stretch where we were up 25 was interesting when it got cut down to 11. Wanted to see what would happen with the loss of Ariza and defenders like Luc how we would stop the bleeding. They did well, few stops and 2-3 buckets with some good D from Tucker and Melo. I feel that Ariza is a better defender than Ennis but it is not that noticeable but on Offense I honestly feel the guys are mirrors of each other. Carmelo is a better defender than Ryno and that will help in and of itself in the regular season. Offense though on a good defensive team like Memphis putting up 65?? yea I'm beginning to think we will be as good as last year

    We built that massive lead against their second unit.

    We basically run no "second unit"; its some combo of Harden/CP3 and EG/Melo with a big and wings

    Defense doesn't look amazing individually, but they're working really well as a cohesive unit. Rotations and doubles are crisp.

    I don't know if the defense is really good or JB's offense is concentrated garbage .
