Rockets got opening night at OKC on NBC!!!! Let that ring ceremony sting and fuel the fire 8 teams from the west on Xmas day, crazy
The Golden State Warriors are still ratings darlings, I guess. It took a while for the Chicago Bulls to fade into the background after Michael Jordan's retirement, so I guess Steph's glow will remain. As to the Rockets?
KD has already given us more respect than we've gotten the past 5 years combined. there's zero chance we would have an xmas game or an opening night game without KD
I said I wanted opening night at OKC, 2nd game on the road at PHX, and then 3rd game at TC with the home opener vs GS I’m 1 for 3 so far don’t play with me Adam Silver
Not only do we get to play in Christmas, but we get to play the league's darling Lakers? We're sooo back.
They gave us Charlotte at home for opening night last season and we still lost. I'm fine with facing OKC as soon as possible.
Does Eastern conference basketball really count? They might as well just make that Division 2 at this point and have the west be the real competition.
