    I don't know are the Rockets practicing today? Also, I am excited to austin rivers as well as Davis.

    From what we heard this morning it would seem like he should be. Will he play? Who knows, but he should at least be there.

    I got tickets! Excited. But is it true that the big new screen won't be turned on? That is disappointing.

    If we assume Davis has a bigger impact on points allowed than Jones, Jones's DRtg will be higher than expected due to playing next to Davis. I think Jones is going to be great, but it's hard to know how much this evidence proves it.

    I hope Martin and Morris are okay. Also after listening to Rocketscast it seems like White will likely be sent to the D-league.

    What did they say? Seems like the flying schedule will be worse, with it being commercial and there being more connections.

    Yeah they make good points. In my opinion, Royce is going to have to be very good in the short time left, otherwise it really won't be fair to other guys who have been at camp working hard.

    Wouldn't make sense to send down DMo or Morris again.
