    Doubtful. 1) It is marketing opportunities for their brand. 2) Those trips help build chemistry.

    I don't like them overall because of the crazy travel, but the team needs as much bonding time to get things right as they can. Number 1 priority to start the season is START FAST with a good record, unlike last season.

    i agree with the chemistry and quick start argument.

    i think there are plenty of other reasons to expect a quick start: no melo drama, defensive coach from day 1, rivers and house from day 1, probably couldn't be more injured than last year...

    Going to Japan on a huge group trip like that is a once in a lifetime experience. I wish I was good at basketball so I could get a camp invite. I'm no aspiring player.

    Hopefully we get to see some DMO action he signed with the sharks.

    I'm sure he won't be jacking up shots like Jimmer. I hate playing the Shanghai sharks. I don't even consider it a practice against them. It's really just embarrassing.

    Traveling halfway around the world planning a trip to Honolulu and of course will try to catch the Rockets pre-season game! Is Seatgeek a reliable ticket source? Any other site you guys recommend? :)

    Would love to hear some thoughts!

    We start early. Could be an advantage too. These guys travel a lot anyways. If they have a day off they fly to carribean to relax. I don’t think we have to worry too much about them having travel fatigue. Just the 2nd half of preseason you’ll see them not play

    Must be Brian took over Feigen's twitter account to post such evil things making fun of the Rockets.
