Hmm, what if Rockets got loss? Others will say they are not ready in the upcoming season? lol.

Win or loss, a single game will not dictate anything. Chemistry concerns, it will build along the way.

NBA teams are always ready. Never heard of a team that is not prepared to enter the season even with no superstars nor known role players on the lineup lol. These players are paid. They should always be ready and lived with their contracts.

And that game against the Sharks is already a deciding game. Rockets players can do whatever they want without coach permission.
