OKLAHOMA CITY - When Carmelo Anthony has addressed the difference between his time with the Rockets and Thunder, he often cited the weeks before he was with either team.
With the Rockets facing the Thunder for the first time since Anthony made the move to Houston, he said again he has felt more comfortable because of the time he had to adjust after signing with the Rockets August 13.
"It was different," Anthony said. "(In Houston), I was able to get established a little bit earlier in the offseason, come here, make my decision to come here, get that out of the way, come here kind of get my feet wet, family, a place to live.
