Still unsure about Royce. I think Lamb is questionable.

EARLY GAME. Sunday, 2 PM EST, October 14th, 2012.

Ya'll Texans don't play till SNF, so who is gonna watch!?

Will definitely be watching, assuming it's being telecast on NBA League Pass. I just love watching Asik play, he is a beast out there. Best center we've had since Yao.

I actually want Lin to score more. He's been stuck in facilitator mode so far.

Terrence Jones looks good, tries too many threes though

This game is on NBATV, nice.

just got up to check the score...lin is 0-8, with 1 ast and 2tos in 18min...yikes

Yea he is struggLin.

But he is doing a good job moving the ball and playing decent defense. He's not getting calls to the FT line tho. I saw 3 times he got hacked going to the basket and didn't get the call.

is it me or is dmo fast enough to get some spot minutes at sf? asik/patterson/dmo/parsons/lin - tall lineup, hard to shoot over

They lost Ray Allen. Then pierce/KG are both another year closer to collecting social security. They very well could be worse.

so how did everyone performed?

From stats sheet it seems Asik D-mo and Machado had pretty good games, while everyone else had meh game?

i think boston is about the same as last year. they lose ray allen, who's def better than terry and lee if he stays healthy. green is back, bradley is only gonna improve. dunno who their center is aside from garnett. garnet and bass frontcourt isnt gonna get it done. put bass on the bench and get a real center

Can't help myself but laugh
Hope this sucking of his is because of rust and not best he just might be a flash in the pan

i don't see how? The only person not on the roster that mattered who isnt coming back is RA.

Jason terry: been hitting three's already (expected)

Sullinger: Already proving to have an NBA ready game. very good rebounder.

Courtney Lee: Good defender and surprisingly athletic and good 3 point shooter.

Bass: he now has a full training camp and already proven to be a good starter.

Jeff green: Really athletic and has shot the three very good so far even though he 6' 9''. He has lots of versatility. he is gonna make lots of strides this season.

Avery Bradley: Coming back in 2 months. Played excellent ball in the post season. Can't wait to see him and rondo together on the court.

Darko: Has already been a good passer and shot blocker

KG: he's gonna be at the 5 all season.

PP: He is healthy unlike the playoffs.

Rajon Rondo: he has obviously been working on his shot. 7/7 in the first half. Can't forget how he shut down the linsanity hipe while at the same time breaking a record that same game. 18 points 17 rebounds and 20 assist.

The only reason i came in here was to check on Royce White. i wanted Boston to pick him up over sullinger or melo, but I guess things worked out better for us. Hope he finds a way to play. looked like he had a nba or near nba ready game.

didnt see the game, but Asik's stats look like he is gonna be our main beast...looks like Lin had a very bad game. Machado with 11 asts...cool

Boston is not winning a championship so they are not better

The only thing that bothered me about ray was his handles. he can't create his own shot anymore. With terry, losing ray isn't such a big hit. and Lee is only a plus and both of which can create their own shot and penetrate. Yes green and bradley are going to be fun to watch. At the center it's gonna be KG but for the 3-4 teams with legit centers they plan on throwing darko at them. He's a real 7 footer and is 275 lbs. Sullinger is already creeping on bass's starting spot. By the all star break sullinger will most likely be a starter. Kg at the 5 and sully at the 4 should get the job done for 80% of the teams in the nba.

Royce white is going to regret not coming to camp later this year. There is no spot in the rotation for him. Hope he enjoy the bus ride with the Vipers.

Asik's been our best player through 3 games in Preseason. More than happy with him. Knows his role and much better offensive player than given credit for. He's just very solid. I think he will average a double double this year.

Lin has been hit and miss. We dont give him the same type of freedom that he enjoyed in NY. He should be in 100% attack mode all the time. Because he is not being assertive all the time(maybe by design?) he often seems invisible out there. His strength is in attacking the basket. He can still get to the rim but can he finish and make the right play without commiting a mistake?

The rookies all played well particularly Jones. He's a athletic big body with good hand and good finishing ability. Dmo and Lamb are both good offensive players. Dmo scares me on defense though. When he comes in for Asik, we lose alot of paint protection and rebounding.

Do any of you rockets fans expect to make the playoffs?

Lakers
okc
spurs
clippers
grizzley's
golden state
timberwolves
nuggets

it's gonna be tuff but I think you guys can do it.
