    It's NBA opening night people. Rockets aren't even playing on the first night. What's all the crying about.

    I'd prefer to see the Thunder get blown out on opening night.

    If it was warriors vs lakers that would be more of a disrespect.

    Rockets beat them opening night last year and took them to 7 last season and could have beaten them if not for some untimely injuries.

    The NBA doesn't like it when defending champs get beat on their floor after the ring ceremony. The only time that was probably acceptable was when Jordan retired the second time from the Bulls.

    fact of the matter is they can't bring back scott foster for that game since he just worked the last one, so as you said worrier's ring ceremony would then be marred with a loss

    Meh. Aren't you surprised it isn't Warriors vs the LAbrons?

    If that report is true, that is a great first nite, tbh. Let the Thunder start off 0-1. Sure.

    I am fine not having the Rockets start game 1 on the road in GSW. Let's play GSW later in the season.

    The last 3 seasons the NBA and media are hoping and wishing Russell Westbrook takes the throne over LeBron. Last 3 seasons he's been bricking shots. Chucking Shots, being Overrated Stat Padder for Triple Doubles. Looking like a
    Ricky Davis. Might as well get a Rebound off your own Basket. Stealing Rebounds from Teammates is a Terrible thing, disrespectful. I think Russell can break Kobe Bryant Record-------- Of All Time Missed Shots.

    Honestly, I'm surprised it's not TOR @ SAS for the early game and GSW @ LAL for the late game.
