Yes, there is a great deal of irony (and wrongness) in that CSN situation. -- And, yeah, are they kidding? No. 1 watchable, of course! No one else is even going to be close.
If you live in the Conroe area and can get Consolidated they have CSN Houston. So no, you don't have to have it to watch them, but it helps....
Watching Dwight's top 10 plys has me salivating at the number of alley oops we are gonna see this season. yumz.

Unless Bogut is totally healthy and Barnes breaks out and plays like an all star, no way they are ahead of us.
In terms of overall talent and depth, the rockets are top 4 for sure: 1. heat 2. spurs 3. rockets 4. okc --- 5. clippers 6. warriors
Honestly I don't like that rockets being hyped like this... hype = not meeting expectations 90% of the time...
And that is probably why the majority of the league is gonna hate on us next year, if there's even a hint of trouble during the season. The team should ask Lin how it feels to be hated on, lol. Hype is funny like that. IF the Spurs were expected to win the championship every year, having failed nearly every year, they would be ridiculed, but to the contrary, the Spurs are strangely never expected to win it all and get excused from any hate. Love how psychology works.
That's what I was thinking. They're a gutsy team, but only one interesting player. They're certainly a good team, but fun to watch... not really.
Even Curry though... he's such a finesse player. He's not the most exciting superstar out there, that's for sure.
The warriors had a nice playoff run last season. I don't find them terribly fun to watch either however. They have a nice backcourt but neither steph nor klay are what anyone would consider highlight reel players. The same holds true for david lee, bogut and iguodala.
