I've been pretty happy with the Rockets defense so far, I'm looking forward to them playing real teams. Spurs and Warriors this week. T.R. Dunn (assistant in charge of defense) better not have an opt out in his contract.

Also, Jason Terry had two blocks last night.

It's been okay so far. He had a classic Harden moment where he just stood in the paint while some Celtic took like 10 seconds to launch a 3, but I don't remember who it was so it may have been the correct thing to do. The Celtics were 1 for 25 from the 3 point line last night. I just checked and that's the worst 3 point shooting night for a team that made at least one three.

The Pistons were 1-for-17 so...that makes me feel better?

What? Yes, of course a top 5 shooter with ball skills and playmaking is someone defenses are scared of. He's like the best possible version of Gordan Hayward.

Didn't Klay average something like 30% shooting after dribbling? How do you define ball skills and playmaking that includes him as being good?

Don't get me wrong, I understand his potential but is that part of what you're looking at or was there something you saw that makes him a good playmaker?

it's because other than harden and lance there are like no under 30 shooting guards that can playmake or handle the ball so the ceiling comes down. He's perfectly adequate in both areas and doesn't turn over the ball.

didn't know that he had become a good passer, just this year or at the tail end of last season too?

He was decent last year, but apparently spent all offseason working on his handles. His hands have been uh, pretty sticky, for most of his career so I'm curious to see if that changes this season. Tonight should be a fun game though.

Tyreke can sort of playmake but he can definitely handle the balll. Shooting guards who can dribble is a topic something I talk to my friend about a lot. They're rare.

Gosh I'm loving Ballstreams so far. Quality is so much better than League Pass was last year. Does a much better job of avoiding dropping the stream too when bandwidth is temporarily low, just drops the quality for a while then goes back up no big deal. Works really well with the Ballstreams Roku app (I picked up the $50 HDMI streaming stick) too.

Edit: local commercials are also much more fun than that insufferable League Pass music. No more waking to that endless lovely loop after passing out during a west coast game.
