As a mea culpa for going on vacation right before the NBA season, DeQuiency will be writing weekly updates about the Rockets' season. Now we here at Two Eighty Eight aren't exactly sure how he's going to do this since he doesn't have CSN, but he is the boss so we're going to let him try.
So where are we now?
Thankful to the schedule makers for the easy start and that's it. The Rockets took care of business this week by trouncing the Lakers, Jazz, and Celtics by 18, 11, and 14 points, respectively. No disrespect to those three teams (on second thought, I'm throwing a lot of disrespect towards the Lakes) , but these games were wins at the opening tip. The Rox are a playoff team and teams like that are suppose to beat up on lottery teams especially terrible ones like the Lakers. We'll know more about this teams this week; one more cream puff game against the 76ers tonight, followed by the Miami Heat, the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, and the high scoring Golden State Warriors.
Biggest story
Duh. Fight night in downtown L.A.! Let's get ready to ruuuuuuuuuuuuuumble!
I've watched this video about....oh......20 times and two things jump out every time. First, I can not tell you how much joy it brings to me to watch Beverley, by far the smallest player on the court, get in between Howard and Kobe and push guys away. Coming in second is Kobe yapping "Try me" while snaking away between two Lakers.
Oh and Kobe? Bro you can't call anyone "soft" while this picture exists on the internet:

Weirdest subplot of the week:
Screw week. This will be the weirdest sight of the season.
Quick tangent: My friend, Raisa, is a huge Rockets fan. She's a hater of Dallas and everything that comes from that cursed city, including Jason Terry. When the Rockets signed Terry, I believe she curled up in the fetal position and cried for about eight hours. This will be a roller-coaster.
Last week: 3-0
For the season: 3-0
