    If Joey Crawford is one of the officials, then just stick a fork in the Rockets....

    They just expect us to lose. Everyone knows Yao won't be 100% until in the middle of the season. It's just a set-up stage for the Rockets to be beaten on Lakers Ring Night. Damn you TNT. :mad:

    LOL, when the Rockets don't get any primetime games its because the NBA doesn't respect them. When they do get primetime games, its because the NBA wants to set them up for a loss. What did you expect, did you think they were going to schedule the Rockets/Grizzlies on TNT? I'm very excited about opening the season against LA, I can see them coming in there and scoring the upset.

    [nba.com] Breif mention of Rockets regarding opening night.

    It's funny how Yao comes back, and suddenly the media is all over us again. It's nice to see the media recognition building over the past year.

    I would have liked Yao's first game back to be at home, but this will do. Rematch of the 2009 playoffs 7 game epic.

    Great, I remember when we opened the season in LA a few years ago (on TNT no less) and what a game that was! Great doubleheader, would have liked it better had they put the Heat in Cleveland to start off the year, but Cleveland sucks lol.
