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

me 2. i have my christmas and spring breaks in LA and before last yr, a lot of the LA games for the rockets were around that time.

i live in SF now so i have to try to catch them when they go to golden state.

 

Damn, April looks hard as hell. The 9th at Sacramento is the only sure shot.

 

FIRST GAME OF THE YEAR SPEECH SHOULD SOUND LIKE THIS.

Surely everyone's seen Feigen's schedule analysis...

It's got a brutal start, but it's a great deal that we have 19 btob's when we play 22 teams on their second straight night including NO 3 times, Dallas & Denver twice each and the Celtics. Hornets fans must really love that.

Even the final stretch against tough teams is perfect for a deep run into the playoffs. Where's the joy here? Have I missed a thread somewhere?

 

Why do we want to go up against tough teams two weeks or so before the playoffs? Don't we want to take it a little easy?

 

IMHO you always want to finish strong and get ready for the 'real" season. Besides the integration of Artest, Barry and probably Dorsey will take some time. Scola starting alongside Yao for most of a full season will probably bear fruit later than sooner, so I like this schedule a lot.

 

Love this part here Jason:

QFT.

 

Hard games when Yao is fresh.
Easy games to get rest.
Challenging games to get him fierce and the ratings go the roof in the playoffs.

 

uhm Kash they are playing the clippers in December

man why cant you get to the other games? I was hoping like for one of the games like the 5-6 of us here all buy seats in the same row/section and cause hell for the La fans as we beat their teams down

 

And actually, Feigen forgets that there is one more back-to-back for a total of 20. It falls on the nights of Feb.28th and March 1st. He probably overlooked that one, although it is "just" at Minnesota.

 

Rockets to Finals!!!!!!!

 

Looks like we are playing the Celts in the pre-season...
