If Lebron hasnt really grownup this could affect his play later in the season. 82 games and however many months is a long time. What if he burns out and/or loses focus.

People finally starting to see what I have noticed a while ago. Adelman is not a good coach for this team. Morey has been trying to acquire pieces for this horrible system but its not that easy. Players like Divac and Webber do not come often. If you look at his Portland team they were just filled with good talent unlike the Rockets who are filled with above average role players. Please get rid of him, Martin, Brooks, and Brad Miller.

Dont fix what isnt broken. Get rid of Stern already. Its time for a new commish. The NBA already has a problem with many teams without stars. Why stretch the talent pool even further? Just gonna have more teams like the Raptors. Yeah they have a nice following in Toronto/Canada but they are kind of considered a joke in the NBA. No star wants to stay there.

Some reason i get the feeling the Sixers will be the worst team in the East. Not a big fan of Turner. Brand is washed up. They got worse at the center position by getting Hawes. Iggy is not gonna get any better. I agree with Minny being the worst in the West.

To go along with what the others have said there is a comfort factor when at home. Your not arriving at 1 or 2 am to go to a hotel room. You dont have to take a team bus to get to the arena. You get to come in and shoot around the gym you have practiced on the most. You got thousands of fans cheering for you. Little things like this factor in and eventually makes a big difference in keeping them mentally prepared. Also, I am sure that it is the reason why some players are superstitious

I have to agree. Every lose there are 5 to 10 different threads about firing coach, benching a certain player, or demanding someone get traded. It gets complteely ridiculous over there. Plus it seems like 80% of them dont think defense is important. For example everyone was in love with Brooks last year(except me) and now most have turned on him after three games.

Making adjustments and staying disciplined is the most important thing for the Rockets. The first two games people were left open for no reason. It felt like Monta took like 20 shots around the free throw line area yet the Rockets did nothing to stop it. Brooks has to step up his game. His defense has been pathetic. The truth is i have been hoping Lowry learned to shoot the three more consistently. I think he would be a better starter. I am really getting sick of this Warriors mentality where they just try to outscore everyone. They have enough scorers that they can afford to use more energy on defense.
