No one celebrated, not after a preseason win against some of the rebuilding Spurs. But the Rockets had ample reason to feel good about their first rehearsal.
Both scored 21 points to lead the Rockets. Both looked very much as advertised with Smith exceling as a shooter and defender and Eason as a relentless attacker of the rim. But they are also still both rookies, so until the roster is trimmed and the locker room not so crowded, they sit in the no-frills folding chairs that look to be pulled out of a closet and share a dressing space for another few weeks.“It was easy,” Smith said. “My teammates made it easy for me, finding me when I was open.
Eason came off the bench and made 9 of 13 shots, usually by driving to the rim and finishing inside. He got six of his 10 rebounds off the offensive boards. Some of Sunday’s rotation decisions might have been influenced by not having Jae’Sean Tate, who was out with a sore right ankle. But when Bruno Fernando, Daishen Nix and K.J. Martin were the first subs off the bench, none was in at the power forward position Tate most often plays.
