Defensively that Rockets lineup is going to be bonkers but what the hell. They have 2 guys who can shoot from the perimeter with any consistency

Warning about this, you'll be very vulnerable to the 3. The Mavericks trotted out a gigantic lineup in preseason with Flagg at PG and Flagg only having the 4th largest wingspan of the group. They abandoned it after four minutes when Gabe Vincent hit 5 threes and then got fouled on another 3 in the first four minutes of the game

So is everyone streaming The Cock tomorrow night or just watching on nbc? Is there a preferred way to watch these games?

Interesting to see how it holds up against OKC's perimeter defense. A lot of good perimeter defenders will challenge the ballhandling/playmaking of that lineup (and various guard=lite rotations).

I think lack of shooting is going to be a big issue for the Rockets, but the playmaking beyond Sengun and Amen is also pretty weak as well. How is Sheppard as a playmaker? I haven't watched a lot of him.

The Lakers play Golden State on opening night and Houston on Christmas, but I wish those were swapped. Golden State is old but they're fresh at the beginning of the season while Houston will probably need some time to adjust with their new squad.

Basically you are about to run a zone defense all game long.
