Yes, I am already dreaming of watching the Rockets again next year. My question is twofold: How many games will there be in the regular season, considering there will be an extra team to play? Also, if there are more games, how will this affect the Rocks (Yao in particular, especially in light of proposed Cato trades), considering JVG's notoriously short rotation?
there will still be 82 games. The amount of times you play certain teams will just decrease. There will be no change, except for the fact the rockets will have another eastern conference team to beat up on.
