That is horrible! The Rockets have to close the season, fighting for the playoffs with only 3 home games the final month? WTF????
Ok, now can you do that to the rest of the NBA and see if it compares? Cause I think that the Rockets are getting screwed this season, especially in April with only 3 home games even though most of those teams aren't that strong.
A VERY quick, first-glance analysis: November Home Games: 7 Away Games: 8 Back-to-backs: 4 Back-to-backs w/travel: 4 Games versus potential contenders/solid playoff teams: 8 Games versus bubble teams: 4 Games versus also-rans: 3 Toughest Stretch: 17th-23rd Wed 2 Sacramento Sat 5 New Orleans Tue 8 Orlando Thu 10 @ Miami Sat 12 @ New Jersey Sun 13 @ Boston Tue 15 @ Minnesota Thu 17 @ San Antonio Fri 18 Detroit Sun 20 @ Indiana Tue 22 @ Dallas Wed 23 Phoenix Fri 25 @ Memphis Sat 26 Chicago Tue 29 Atlanta December Home Games: 5 Away Games: 8 Back-to-backs: 3 Back-to-backs w/travel: 2 Games versus potential contenders/solid playoff teams: 0 Games versus bubble teams: 8 Games versus also-rans: 5 Toughest Stretch: 8th-18th Sat 3 Memphis Tue 6 Boston Thu 8 @ Sacramento Sun 11 @ Portland Wed 14 @ Golden State Thu 15 @ Seattle Sat 17 @ L.A.

Considering our road and home records were almost identical last season, I don't think it matters.... BRING IT ONNNNNN!!!!!
There are two Rockets games on national TV in April, including the very last game against Spurs. If I am not mistaken, there was no Rockets game on national TV in April last season. So the NBA definetely considers Rockets a better and more popular team this season.
Mannnn, only 19 games? I remember there being like 24 or so last year and we only got better from last season. I'm sorry, the reason I gripe is because I won't be living in Houston and will only be able to see the national games, obviously. Least, I'll still have ClutchCity then.
Interesting. Last year the Rockets had 24 national TV games (the max) and this year they only have 20. Kind of surprising.
Ugh, is that why we've lost 5 National TV games from last season? We tied for the most national televised games last season, not sure who leads this year, but I'm sure we'll still be seeing a lot of Heat and Laker games, especially now that Phil is back.
Can anyone make a CSV file so I can enter this into my MS Outlook? That was so nifty for me last year
I counted 2 4 games in 5 nights. April sucks balls. Most of those teams aren't that good, but so much travel when you want to get ready for a playoff run is not good news no matter what. The Lakers in comparison have 2 road games in the month of April and only 13 back to backs overall.
