    Every part matters. A game you shouldn't have lost in November can come back and bite you in the ass later in the season. Especially given how close everything was in the West last year.

    I don't think it makes that big a difference, the Rockets at full strength should be good enough to where they are in the top 3 in the West even if they had a slow first 10 games.

    They expect him to be suspended for 10-15 games?! That's crazy considering J.R. Smith was only suspended 7 games when he caused his friend's death by driving recklessly.

    We'll see. I'd love a season like last year though where they never really had any extended stretch of bad games. They didn't even lose 3 straight until the WCF.

    When will the schedule be released?

    All I could find on Google was "some time in August"

    If Lawson is suspended more than seven games that's breaking precedent right there.. maybe if he killed a guy by driving drunk he'd get less than 10-15. Smh

    Whatever it takes for him to learn his lesson, although 10-15 seems excessive compared to the crazy shots to the head and body by several individuals in the last few years that warranted a lot less.

    Aren't they moving the start of the season up a week or so to eliminate the 4 games in 5 nights?

    Have the DWI cases against Lawson been resolved? The league can't issue a suspension until they have.

    Playing guessing game only. But I remember Matt Jackson saying the Rockets like opening at home on a weekend.

    I would like to see Capela start. Give him extended minutes and see what he could do.

    Thanx cyber!!!
    Regardless if Lawson and Dwight don't play we should win this one. Denver are rebuilding.
    I'm more pissed that they have sheduled Lakers versus freakin Philly in New Years. WTF is up with that.

    And let's hope Lawson's supsension is less than 10.
