So many questions, so many storylines fighting for attention. But there’s a new storyline in town: actual basketball.
This game featured a sincere attempt to build a rivalry between teams that will meet two times in the regular season. It’s an interesting test for both teams, particularly given the difference in styles.
So here is our first chance to see the New Look Rockets. The Rockets seem to be the team that changes its hairstyle more than any other, biannually. Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, each new barnet looking for fresh start in the city of fresh starts.
