    Much,much better shot selection than previous games,playing to our strengths,better picks and better ball movement.Good stuff.

    Defensively you can't really draw conclusions because of the moronic Houston offense (26 3s already) but at least personal defense looks more focused.

    Regarding Houston,if Westbrook keeps shooting like last year from 3 their ceiling lowers considerably.

    And DJ Murray,i just hope he stays healthy for his career,he is destined to be the best defensive guard in the League.

    (See,i managed to go through an entire post without saying even a word on how better we look without DeMar!)
    (Ah ....)
    I know it's just preseason and there aren't a lot of conclusions to be drawn...but so far, Westbrook has shown exactly why he doesn't fit Houston in this game.

    Terrible shooter from three, but very willing to chuck them up (which will only get worse). Loves to try to feast in mid-range (a no-no in Morey's system). Doesn't know what to do when the ball isn't in his hands. Gets chippy when things aren't going well, picking up cheap fouls on both offense and defense.

    Houston is still going to be very good because they have two MVPs on their team which is enough to win against 80% of the NBA. But I fully expect a Westbrook meltdown to lose a playoff game or two for the Rockets, and that very well could be the difference for their season.

    I've said a few times, DD would make a really good 6th man - he'd obliterate 2nd units with his scoring & find shooters at will. Hopefully they're upfront with him at some point about the young guys being the future, he opts into his final year of his deal, then signs a shorter deal, even if it's for a higher amount (maybe not quite Lowry's annual )

    Then DJ draws the 4th foul on Westbrook with 10-and-a-half left in the third.

    Wombat would have just kept his hands up while giving Harden a red carpet to the rim.

    Damn, might have to give DJM that $100 Million now. Could save a ton of money on the back end.

    Damn props to DJ. So fun to watch his improvement. If Walker can be consistent on defense and White fully gets out of his funk and plays like last year, the Spurs have some good defensive options. Ugh please Pop don’t mess it up with overplaying Mills and Beli. I’m not even gonna get into how good the team looks without Joker.

    Even with White not playing well, the guard corps is a load. A lot of different looks.

    Walker getting good shots, just not converting. Have to believe that will change over time.

    Murray looks like a totally different player on offense.

    Forbes shot still looking crisp and he can actually play some defense now too.

    Houston commentators continue to be some of the worst in the biz, blaming "jet lag" on their teams performance.

    He's been gambling a lot for steals in this preseason and coming up short but I feel like he will regain his feel (and timing) of the game on defense and start having those breakaway steals again. I'm excited.
    To me it's how you can tell he knows what Houstons sets are and the way he switches what side he shades Harden to based on the play Houston was running...

    They ran this play where Harden came off a capella screen and DJ knew that Gordon was popping out to the left and so he just wouldn't let Harden get to his left to pass it to him...just single handidly ruined the play...

    The problem though watching him do this reminds you just how not only bad but just how dumb defenders like marco, mills, and derozan are cause they could never hope to do something like that...

    Hopefully he can rub off on Derozan...

    Lyles has great court awareness & is a good passer. It sucks he can't do much else

    I have seen enough. Sit DJM down. This game is meaningless.
