I believe in Ousmane. Please keep working hard. We need size in this western conference i don't like how fans are writing him off. Rebound and playmaking at 6 10 off the bench if productive could be a huge positive for the team.
Thank you for micing up all the questions
I'm so glad they divided the main team in the first half and had the rest of the bench play on the other half. That's how preseason games should be used, good coaching decision. Because this exposed their depth on the bench pass starters and the 6th man. The second team have talent, but they don't seem to have the IQ for reading the game in real time. No one was swiveling their heads against a second scorer, I think there was a dude who went for a three instead of a dunk. And you can't blame the second unit going against stars or vets. The Rockets team's best player out there was Dillon Brooks.
The half decision also proved tonight that the main team's defense is suffocating. OMG, the Rockets kept hitting the wall on the drive or their pockets stolen. This main team is going to be a nightmare to score against. Also, their offense wasn't clicking early in the first half, despite their 14 point lead at one point, it was mostly due to their defense not allowing the rockets to score at all.
Despite the loss, it was a good fishing expedition to figure out the team makeup. The first team got to elevate the second unit. All 5 starters and IHart were all Plus, the rest of the team were all a Minus in plus/minus.
