The Rockets' season schedule is out. Here's what we think of it.
Hard to believe, but we are just eight weeks from the start of the NBA season. On Wednesday, the association released the full 82-game schedules for its teams including the Houston Rockets. While last year was a generally forgettable one from a wins and losses standpoint, the end result was a draft pick that landed them Jabari Smith. This is a young, talented and exciting team that will be loads of fun to watch.
Now, that is unlikely to translate into many wins this year, but it should be one more step on the ladder up from mediocrity and, eventually , to being a contender. We have some thoughts about the Rockets schedule.This is always a big deal for fans who see it as a measure of respectability in the eyes of other NBA fans and the league as a whole. Last year, the Rockets got a big fat zero when it came to games on ESPN, NBATV and TNT.
Only one makes it to ESPN, the more coveted of the choice between that and NBATV, a west coast late nighter against the plucky Sacramento Kings in early January. The rest on the league network are scattered and include a November game at New Orleans, a post-Thanksgiving"black Saturday" game at Toyota Center against the Thunder, and a dead-of-winter Monday game in LA against the Lakers. Hey, it's a start.The Rockets start the season with 10 of their first 13 on the road.
