Wonder what it is for starters only. Houston bench is full of end of roster guys who are very old.

Projected starters are Westbrook 30, Harden 30, Gordon 30, Tucker 34, Capela 25.

And I think House probably ends up starting in reality with Gordon going to the bench. House is 26. With Gordon it's 29.8 avg, with House it's 29.

Was gonna say I was surprised Atlanta wasnt on that list but then I remembered they signed Vince Carter

Just heard about a new rule for fans this year - zero tolerance on heckling? Damn, that sounds extreme. I know there are idiots at a lot of arenas, but sounds really subjective.

The NBA has blossomed the last few years, while the NFL regressed a bit. Seems as if this year that may change as NFL ratings are really high, relatively speaking, and the NBA is dealing with a few issues - China, KD out for the year, Klay out, Zion, etc... the NBA should be pulling for the Clips and Lakers to be dominate and battle each other.

Isn't this what you wanted when you were accusing whole arenas to being racist? Kinda hypocritical don't ya think?

I pointed out that Utah has had many instances of racism that have been publicized... racism should have zero tolerance. But you need to define "heckling" for me so I can give an opinion on this. Haven't found one yet... seems subjective.

Damn, that stuck with you

They defined it in the press release.

""We've added any sexist language or LGBTQ language, any denigrating language in that way, anything that is non-basketball-related," said Jerome Pickett, the NBA's executive vice president and chief security officer. "So 'your mother' comments, talking about your family, talking about test scores, anything non-basketball-related, we've added that in as well as being something that we will go and pull a fan out of the seat and investigate what happened."

And you also said that the team should move because of a few racist dips**ts, so yeah I don't appreciate it when someone tries to make an entire fanbase out to be racist when that is hardly the case there.

hoops!

That definition can basically be applied to anything. Lebron's sensitive ass will be getting so many people kicked out

Looking forward to that 7:30 showdown!

Theres only one common goal this year.

Pelicans didn't deserve to open the season even with Zion helathy

This I think it should be at least the Sixers, Bucks, Rockets and maybe the Warriors for a rematch on the finals.

Did the punk a55 raptors get their rings? (Yeah i'm still bitter)

How can they celebrate that when kawhi ain't even there? Lol
