Except all the away games at the start, I like the schedule. No really tough road trips and only one really good opponent in April.
I was talking about this with a mate and we were both hoping to get that as it gets the team on the road and being forced to be around each other and get some early chemistry and bonding.
hopefully they bond on the road trips early in the season, and carry that chemistry through another playoff run!
Should really be gunning to go undefeated in feb and should be were we make our run * injuries permitting

I take the 9:30pm opening game tipoff as a big FU personally. On a freaking Wednesday. Screw you, NBA. Screw you.
Dave2000 is right. It's weird to have B2B home games. The NBA doesn't do that. One is always an away game. Season ticketholders don't like it, so the thinking is that attendance isn't optimal when you do it. In fact, I can't think of any B2B at home the Rockets have ever had, not counting the lockout year. I guess NYE always works, regardless, so Rockets gave the OK to schedule two together.
