The rockets have had so many days off these past 2 weeks and yet games in back to back nights still exist where the level of play is always lesser when one of the teams is worn out. I know this is a dead horse but it’s utterly frustrating and inexcusable.
Otoh, there are more games coming up than any other team has.
I think the time off (when used on more practice) 8s nothing but beneficial to have at the very beginning of the season.
I think the In-Season Tournament messed up a lot of the scheduling. Scheduling in general is extremely difficult but making IST games count as regular season games is impossible without some creative scheduling. I think this season Rockets got the unfortunate weird schedule. Next year it will be someone else.
Scheduling, refs, NBA in general has gone to compete shit. And fuck this dumb ass in season tournament.
I guess it’s up to them to be good enough to get respect from the refs and schedulers for next year. We’re definitely getting National TV games next year that should help. As for this year they just have to deal with it.
