Time to get this season started!

vs.

Game time: 7:00 PM CST
Location: Toyota Center - Houston, TX
Record: 0-0

No Dwight tonight for the Rockets. He is serving a suspension from the last playoff game this past season. But have no fear, Clint Capela is here!

The Rockets will be starting:

PG - Ty Lawson
SG - James Harden
SF - Trevor Ariza
PF - Terrence Jones
C - Clint Capela

The Nuggets get their first regular season look at their rookie:

PG - Emmanuel Mudiay
SG - Randy Foye
SF - Wilson Chandler
PF - Kenneth Fareid
C - Joffrey Lauvergne

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm ready for some Rockets basketball!

Shameless self-promotion here: I'm running a little experiment throughout the 2015/2016 season. If you have the time please check out this thread where you rank your top 3 in 8 categories. I'm asking everyone to leave their Homer Glasses off and rank the positions as you honestly see them.

The voting for this first round ends after today.

Thanks for doing the GT, Mr. E. :nod:

I'm ready and hoping the Rockets come out focused on the defensive end. They should destroy the Nuggets in preparation for the Warriors on Friday.

Defense, Defense!

No wonder they cut Smith, he wouldn't fit on the billboard.

Well this isn't how we wanted to start the season...

Starting to look more like Rocket Basketball!

Harrell has been really impressive! Ty Lawson, too!

For everyone here experiencing difficulties I apologize. Looks like a pretty huge boost in traffic with the start of the season.

Mudiay is impressive

Beard's Up!!!

I don't like what we are seeing with the Refs & Harden. They are not calling clear fouls.

A very ugly start to the season, but the Rockets managed to crawl back into this. It looks like Harden is just starting to get cooking!

TAKE THAT BALL AWAY FROM FARIED!!!!

Where is Jones? Is he playing? Is he on the roster? Who is he again? Smith?

Hurry back, DMo.
