    Why do they force the Rockets to play a back-to-back, and then give them 3 full days off before they have to play back-to-backs again?
    How stupid is that? They should have a game scheduled for Sunday, then Tuesday, then Thursday etc. Very poorly designed scheduling.

    Well with all the nba teams and an 82 game schedule it is very hard. Remember that many of the arenas have hockey events etc in them also. I would like to see someone in here try to make a schedule considering hockey and all oother factors where every once in a while a team isn't forced to play back to backs etc? it wouldn't be easy..

    If teams had huge gaps between games on road trips, they would be out of town for too long.

    If the gaps on road trips were big enough, the team could just go home for a day or two.
    But there is no reason to complain because the rockets aren't the only team that plays back-to-backs. Everyone does. Scheduling is very similar for most teams.
