    Get a 30 point lead by half, send starters home... Win by 15.

    It is strange that Minnesota of all places is the home team...I mean--and this is just a WILD guess--I'm going to say that more Mexicans support the Rockets due to geographic proximity than ...er...Minnesota of all places. Now if this game were in Winnipeg to promote Canadian expansion I'd put Minnesota in the home town category. Not sure if serious, NBA. :confused::confused::confused::confused: Is it because they have a guy named Ricky Rubio on the team?


    Exit question: so this "home " game for Minnesota in MEXICO counts as a home game for them and away for us? I'll take it.

    Will they have Bobble Cabezas at the arena?

    I'm from Brazil and I can say people here don't really like basketball that much. Brazilians only watch the NBA playoffs whenever it's on ESPN.

    I only follow the Rockets because I lived 2 years in Houston and fell in love with the team.

    Just hope Harden doesn't catch something down there.

    This should help clarify all of the geographic confusion.
    This map is plain and simple.

    Second straight year we are playing in Mexico... well actually there was a fire and the game got moved to San Antonio but still. Probably for Ricky Rubio I'm guessing?

    Let's not forget the great Corey Brewer who dropped 50 on us last year.
