Respect us Surprisingly the Jazz, Heat & Raptors way down on national TV games! LA of course too high and nice for Minnesota to get some respect. Philly & Denver too.
Don't get me wrong, this is 100% a better team and by far the second best team in the league. That being said, that might not necessarily show up record-wise. Super teams need time to gel. The Heatles didn't look great early on, the Warriors early in the season last year didn't look anything like the team that won in June.
Honestly other then the warriors opening night and cavs down the road we've been spoon fed a very easy start to the season. Great for us honestly to build some chemistry and team flow against sorry teams I actually like the Rockets v warriors debuts. Give us an early look of how the Rockets stack up and if they perform badly they can hopefully improve against these scrub teams until next time
We won't see Westbrook in Houston until April?! Runner up and MVP won't meet until Christmas and then only once at home...odd decision
3 games vs PDX. Will be nice to put this to rest. Right, @DrexlerFan ? Instead of spouting off how much more important we are or pushing single game examples, we'll actually let our team do the talking.
BKN,ATL,IND,ORL,CHI 5 Leastern conference teams got 16 national TV games in total. ESPN doesn't even try to hide how horrible East is.
