Because they want to control it

And also they are probably still debating a little bit with TV to decide which games to air.

I was hoping for

an opening season game that was better than the yao-less, mcgrady-less, artest-less rockets.

Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Miller, Joel... Holy crap!

I am happy that we actually get a home game to start the season.

We’ve started on the road the last few years.

is McGrady officially out for the start of the season?

I figured he’d be back by then even if he’s not that effective

and I’d like a nice home win to start of the season. It’s not like there won’t be quality opponents to beat up on later

He’s supposed to be back near the All-Star break.

No chance. Microfracture and shoulder surgery near the trade deadline. That takes at least a year.

The three teams should leak the "undisclosed amount" as retribution.

Dig around in the Fanshots archives here, the Rockets and Cavs ones were both posted sometime last week. I never saw the Wolves one, nor did I know it leaked until I saw this story. Did anyone here see that one and remember when our games against Minnesota are?
