What's new

It's the most wonderful time of the year (first game of the year!). Hou @ Jazz Game 1 of many.

Why is anybody assuming that Burks will guard Harden? I'd rather Hayward check him, with Burks on Ariza.

'Twill be the plan I reckon. Favors and Gobert will be vital defensively this evening. I think they'll do their part.

Good call. I like that plan.

Let's see if Quin agrees

I predict Kanter will suck *** at defense.

I'd put Kanter on Howard early and see how he does. He seems to have had success in the past against power type players who aren't as skill or footwork reliant. Plus, getting Kanter in foul trouble is much more preferable than having Favors in foul trouble.
 
Kanter should guard Dwight -- he's got the muscle. Let Favors and Rudy protect the paint.

I agree, but the problem is that whoever is guarding Dwight that means the other guy is guarding Terrence Jones, who will be preventing them from paint protection. Favors or Kanter could have trouble with Jones.
