Finally our first game!

The Rockets have something to prove this game, some critics don't believe we're true title contenders or have a dominant defense yet.

Don't go out like the Clippers or Bulls on opening day. Preseason hype means nothing, it's time to create the reality.

Go Rox!!

Bulls is playing the Heat that's different story
Clippers losing to Lakers bench is funny and their bench is most team 3rd team
i'm kind of afraid of this game because we always have problem against them

Agreed.

I mentioned the Bulls because of the preseason 8-0 record with Rose, 10.4+ preseason point differential etc. I like the Bulls and Rose don't get me wrong, it's only one game with a recovering Rose/Noah and it was against the champion Heat at home after all (but if LeBron/Wade have average games Norris Cole shouldn't beat you imo).

I definitely don't want a Lakers/Clippers situation because I don't want any team to be hungrier than us for the win, regardless of record or predictions.

Nice GT fellas.

I know people think Charlotte isn't good, but I think they are improved. Particularly the matchup between Beverly and Walker should be great.

Jeff Taylor is one of my favorite role players in the League.

Can't wait just an hour and 15 minutes

Probably won't post much but I can't wait.

I always get a little scared playing al Jeff even with Dwight and Asik on him all game I am still scared (I think I just got used to it cuz I was always worrying he would help the jazz beat us by going off for a good game)

I really like kemba and Henderson, though
