[Rockets.com] 2008-09 schedule and top twelve games

when do tickets go on sale?

 

Season opener vs. Memphis... I bet Rudy Gays face went from:



to




When he thought about who he'll be facing to start the season.

 

I'm thinking of buying a weekend partial-season ticket package this year. Can you get that as a package? How many games is it normally?

 

fritz... nice article! The games that I want to see are on the weekends and during winterbreak and spring break! [bc i live in austin]

also.. fritz- you should tell the web designers over at rockets.com to revamp their site.. it looks horrible

 

ya i figured we would have more with artest but since we don't have artest OFFICIALLY yet it was too late to change it

either way CAN'T WAIT TILL october 29th to get it started

 

Thanks.

Wow only 13 national games? That seems kinda light. How many did we have last year?

 

fritz,

I'm not sure if you would be the one to ask, but do you know if all home games are going to be in HD this year? They were supposed to be last year, at least after December, but that wasn't always the case.

 

we play better on the road when healthy for some reason, esp. tracy.

and we play dallas in the 2nd game , blowout please.

 

also, we have a VERY tough schedule to start out (as usual) and a tough march. hopefully, we won't put ourselves in a hole to start b/c we do want the first seed. hopefully artest meshes fast with the team.

 

LA has many more bandwagon fans than the Rox. I'd rather keep it that way.

 

The schedule doesn't matter because we are going 82 and 0! Actually I predict somewhere around 58-24.

 

don't worry, NBA can change national tv schedules as the season goes along. they added the celtics onto many more national tv games last yr when the trade was made and also as they started winning a lot of games.

i'm sure they will add the rockets to more national tv games, esp. if we start winning. don't worry guys.

 

for Preseason probably end of Sep. for regular season, usually first saturday of Oct.

the usually have 6 game/12 game and half season packages, in most cases you can customize the 6/12 game packs to whatever games u want. I can get my tix rep to call u, they probably wont have the packages out till maybe end of this week, next week

 

I hope the Rockets website is forgetting the games on ABC because I don't see a single game on that network. I checked the Dallas Mavericks website and they have around 17-19 nationally televised games on TNT, ESPN & ABC.

Also....
Does anyone know why the last game of the regular season (April 15th) vs. the Mavericks is being played at the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston?? I thought it was a typo on the Rockets website, but the SAME thing is listed on the Mavericks website.

http://www.nba.com/rockets/schedule/
http://www.nba.com/mavericks/schedule/index.html

 

if u look at the last game on the season under the schedule part on rockets.com it says they play at Dallas...but it says at the TD banknorth center for boston...anyone know what that is about?

 

So far number of games nationally televised:
Boston - 25
LAL - 25
Cleveland - 25
Phoenix - 25
Dallas - 21
SA - 20
Denver - 16
Detroit - 14
Houston - 13

Probably missed some.

 

The last few games could be a pain too, a few of those teams should be fighting for the last couple of playoff spots in the west.

 

damn spurs and detroit are 2 of the most boring sports team of all time and we get less than them, with more popular stars? damn we need to get out of the first round to get some respect that's for sure.
