    How do the two WCF teams not play opening night. Why do the thunder get favored over the rockets.

    Maybe they heard everyone complain about the Rockets/Warriors regular season series being over in January last year

    They can't afford for the Rockets to beat them on ring ceremony night two years in a row. Smart move NBA.

    Probably heard media reports saying that OKC will win roughly 106 games this year now that Melo's gone.

    Apparently, he was the only problem there last season.

    Didn't the Rockets have to watch their ring ceremony last season? They probably didnt schedule them out of guilt for rigging the WCF. Making them watch the Warriors get their rings too would be the ultimate disrespect.

    Adam Silver: "Warriors, who would you like to face on national TV on opening night?"

    Warriors, altogether: "Anyone but Houston!"

    They don’t want the Warriors to lose again in opening night like last season hence they don’t want us to play them

    This is great GSW will demolish the Thunder and then people can stop running off at the mouth about how the Thunder are better than us

    I hope we play at home for once.

    My guess is

    Rockets vs. Lakers

    or

    Rockets vs. Jazz

    RIP our playoff hopes, for two years now the eventual WCF and ECF have played on opening night, looks like this will continue.
