TORONTO – Dave Bolland did not hesitate when asked who would win on Friday. "Canada," Bolland said with a smile. "Is that a question?" One day earlier, though, fellow Toronto Maple Leafs centre Nazem Kadri wasnt so sure his home and native land could pull off the win against the United States in the semi-finals of the Olympic hockey tournament. "I want to say Canada, but to be honest with you, the U.S. looks better," Kadri, a native of London, Ont., said. "We dont know if Naz is Canadian or American," Bolland, from Mimico, Ont., said with a chuckle. "We dont know what he is or who hes cheering for. He could be cheering for the Belarusians." Roommate Turmoil The North American rivalry has many fault lines throughout the Leafs dressing room even though a vast majority of the players – 20 in total – are Canadian. The issue: two of the key players on Team USA are also two-thirds of Torontos top line: Phil Kessel and James van Riemsdyk. The man who centres that line in the NHL, Reginas Tyler Bozak, may be the Leaf who is most torn. After all, Bozak is close friends with Kessel and actually lives with the Leafs leading scorer. "Thats a tough question for me to answer," Bozak admitted when asked where his loyalties lie. "Ive got my two wingers on the U.S. and Im Canadian so I guess Im cheering for both. I just hope Phil and JVR play really well and maybe Canada wins. I dont know. "Its going to be an exciting game to watch, for sure. I really cant make any predictions. I dont know. The U.S. has been playing great. Canadas kind of snuck by with a few wins, but every games different and it should be a fun one to watch." Another set of roommates are also at odds over the game and are actually putting their money where their mouthes are. Defencemen Morgan Rielly and Jake Gardiner, from Vancouver and Minnetonka, MN respectively, have placed a friendly wager on the game. "I cant tell you what it is," Rielly said. "Hes overconfident. I think Team Canada will be fine." Most Leafs, however, were trying to take the diplomatic approach with head coach and Sudbury, Ont. native Randy Carlyle, acknowledging the semi-final showdown "was pulling your heart strings in different directions." The Diplomatic Approach "We hope and wish our players all the luck in the world as far as an organization," said Carlyle, "but I am Canadian." "I hope that Phil and JVR do well," said captain Dion Phaneuf, who hails from Edmonton and was invited to Hockey Canadas orientation camp in the summer, "so Im in the middle, thats for sure. Any time you have teammates competing, you want them to do well, but Im Canadian and I have lots of respect for Hockey Canada." What everyone can agree on is that Kessel and van Riemsdyk are having a much better Sochi experience than Nikolai Kulemin, who was the other Leaf taking part in the Winter Games. "Nobody asks questions about how youre going to feel about Nikolai Kulemin coming back and thats a tough one," said Carlyle. "Host country and the way their tournament unravelled, hes part of our hockey club and weve got to find a way to build him back up and get him going again."

The Rockets defeated the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Lakers, both on the road, to start the campaign. Houston won both games by a combined 29 points, marking the first time since the 2007-08 season the Rockets captured the first two games by double digits. Against the Jazz on Wednesday, Dwight Howard scored 22 points with 10 rebounds and two blocks to lead the Rockets to a 104-93 win. James Harden nearly contributed a triple-double, scoring 18 with 10 assists and seven rebounds, and Trevor Ariza finished with 20 points in the win. Kostas Papanikolaou chipped in 12 off the bench. After allowing 50 points to the Jazz in the first half, the Rockets put on the clamps. Utah just managed 43 points over the final 24 minutes and Houston marched to a 2-0 mark. Second half we did a great job of coming out with some defensive intensity, Harden said. Offensively, the Rockets shot 51.9 percent from the field versus Utah and the same percentage from beyond the 3-point arc. Last season, Houston went 26-3 when it shot over 50 percent from the floor, and 25-8 when it converted 10 or more 3-point attempts. The Rockets sttop home will be brief.dddddddddddd They visit the Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat next week. The Celtics opened the season in impressive fashion with a 121-105 home win over the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Rajon Rondo woke up from a long nap Wednesday afternoon and decided he was ready to go after he missed the entire preseason with a broken left hand. The decision paid off as Rondo went for 13 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds to lead the Cs to victory. Kelly Olynyk scored 19 points and Jeff Green had 17 for Boston. Eight Celtics reached double figures, and all 10 that took the floor scored at least six points in a balanced attack. I think we still need to do a better job with weakside defense, said Green. We still have things we need to correct. We have to continue to move forward. The Celtics will have to improve defensively just to match up with the Rockets star duo of Harden and Howard. We have to give them different looks, said Green. I think weve done a great job in todays practice as far as communication as far as what we want to do. The Rockets swept the Celtics last season and have taken six of the last eight meetings. Houston has won three straight at home against the Cs, who had previously won four straight in Houston.
