So again right now we are at 10,000 sorry eight thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight for the up coming Season, but let's dive into it. As I mentioned the full schedule would drop in for the Houston Rockets we'll talk about some of the Some of the spots there in the video are sorry on the schedule in this video I should say but let me pull up the full Schedule here for you guys as you can see the Rockets schedule here where the first game will be opening night on October 21st, which will be against the in-state rival the Dallas Mavericks led by Cooper flag Kyrie Irving Future rocket Kyrie Irving. No, I just tease and I hope for that but no. Yeah, look the schedule We start off the first two games against Western Conference opponents Especially in-state opponents as I mentioned in a past video that we did that we do have the San Antonio Spurs I will be playing at the Moody Center out there in Austin. So it'll be a road game For both teams in fact a little home-and-home for Kevin Duran as I've mentioned playing his ball at the University of Texas but let's break down the schedule here and we'll get into all of that fun stuff and see what that looks like for this Rockets team for the upcoming season. So as I mentioned Opening game is gonna be against Dallas for the upcoming year followed by San Antonio and then we do have 14 games on the Sorry 14 back-to-back situations this season for the Houston Rockets and for those are going to be at home For the upcoming year so for home at home I should say so back-to-back situation in their front Front leg of the back-to-back and then the second leg of the back-to-back both games being at home for the Houston Rockets I think the NBA has tried to do what they can as far as You know spacing out those Spacing out the back-to-back situations for these teams and and try to integrate more Rest in between games and things like that, but I think those home and homes aren't too bad again, right? Because you're not number one. You're not traveling You don't have to go sleep in a hotel. You can go sleep in your own beds And I think that's I mean psychologically for us as fans That might not seem like a lot, but I think it's a huge thing for these players Especially, you know not having to travel having to check into the hotels and all that Stuff that goes wrong with traveling and and playing their hoops, you know on On the road. They're in those back-to-back situation. I think fatigue is a huge factor as well Another note as I mentioned last season the Rockets did have and let me pull the schedule back up Here as we talk about it. So the Rockets last year did have 27 Nationally televised games right this upcoming season That's going to be I think down to 21 right last year was a hype With Kevin Durant being here with the Houston Rockets the first four-letter network game for the Rockets. It's actually gonna be on November 11th against the hated Golden State Warriors and Steph Curry and Draymond green and Think I don't know if Butler's gonna be ready to go at that point or not But nonetheless, we do have some prime time Sorry prime video games on Amazon again as I mentioned against the Spurs that first game on the road in Austin and then the next one's not till November 20th of November again against Nicola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, but we take a look at this first part of the schedule, right? I mean, it's I don't say it's daunting But there are some opponents that you know, obviously made the playoffs last season, right? I mean Atlanta is gonna be a team That I think is gonna make some noise in that Eastern Conference this year with a roster turnover that they have had there Within the first about ten days. We played Dallas twice And then we have the the first back-to-back situation is going to be Friday and Saturday It's a road and road where we again going from Austin to Atlanta And then we have another one on October 30th and October 31st on Halloween where we go to Dallas on that Friday and then again, we all know as Residents of Texas or familiar with the end of a map that Dallas to Oklahoma City not that big of a gap or Dallas back to Houston. I should say Not that big of a trip there. So that's Saturday We will face OKC at home and then we have the Boston Celtics at home in the Minnesota Timberwolves at home So that's a little bit of a trough tough stretch there get a couple days off go to Phoenix and then we have Denver We have Golden State and then we have the Utah Jazz at home before we hit the road from November 15th through the note through November 20th to the East Coast Against the Wizards the heat the Pacers and then finishing it off in Denver before we come back home and play the Clippers And the Sun so that's about the first man 15 to 20 games there For the Houston Rockets and the next back-to-back comes on December 13th and December 14th We play the Bulls and the New York Knicks in that span and there are And we do have a nationally or a national televised game on Tuesday December 20. Sorry. Yeah, it's summer 29th against the Lakers in LA and then we're also gonna be playing on MLK Day against the Memphis Grizzlies In Memphis on Monday, January 18, I think that's the late-night game or the last game of the night there I think that's 630 local time here. And then again as we head towards the end of the schedule I think this is where the really stands out to me is because I think this is gonna be the difference between the Seating for the Houston Rockets, right because you take a look I let me make this bigger for you guys so if you can see it, right we take a look at the final five games of the regular season there For the five are gonna be at home which is against Memphis Chicago Sacramento Portland and then we finish the season in, Minnesota So three of our final seven opponents are against Portland and we know about poorly, right? Portland is trying to really revamp the roster of you get Dane bag We have John Moran there as well true holiday as of right now is still on that roster But I mean those are gonna be a tough games there But those the teams that aren't expected not to do well this year Chicago Sacramento Memphis and I don't know if that game on Sunday is gonna be meaningless for the Rockets against the Minnesota Timberwolves But I think at that point hopefully seating in and all of that is already determined for this rocket team where it's not a meaningful game Another note that I did notice on our schedule for the upcoming season is that we only played the Thunder three times this year Two of those three games are actually going to be in Houston For the Rockets so a little bit of a favorable schedule spot there Where they play Oklahoma City three times this season and only once we'll have to travel to OKC and play in OKC Which is again gonna be a national televised game on January 13th in OKC on the four little four letter network So, I mean, that's the that's the gist of the schedule right now before we dive too much into it Again as I mentioned a lot of spots here for the Houston Rockets where there are some favorable scheduling breaks Happening and then also As I mentioned with the national televised game the back-to-back situations there as well And the final a couple of games there for the Houston Rockets that are gonna be in a favorable spot for this team and again as I mentioned in the last video that the Startup the start time the tip time for the Rockets now gonna be from going from 7 o'clock to 730 So I'm excited for it, man I mean, we'll talk more in-depth about the schedule But I just want to get this out to you guys the big points that are there for this Rockets team The 21 national televised games of 14 games back-to-back situations and who we're playing No Three times this year versus four times and some of the road trips that the Rockets do have this upcoming season I think the longest road trip as well. I'll add this to end it here. It's gonna be a five game road trip from Monday January 18th all the way the Tuesday the 26th against the Memphis Grizzlies The Minnesota Timberwolves the Charlotte Hornets the Orlando Magic and against the San Antonio Spurs before we do return back home again So let me know what you guys think about these schedule. Are you excited? Are you a little nervous about anything? It's a tough schedule And what's it gonna be right because again? we talked a lot about Fred van Vliet's health in the past and how he's gonna get me ready for this season for the Houston Rockets and what all that means for this team and and especially at the beginning of the season where there are some tougher Opponents as I mentioned teams like the Spurs the Atlanta Hawks who I think are gonna be good this year You know, you have OKC in their Memphis. I'm sorry I'm in the sodas in there not Memphis the Phoenix Suns the Denver Nuggets at Golden State Warriors in there as well So let me know in the comments how you guys feel about the schedule About the change as well If you do think that this rocket team is gonna get to 50 wins as I project But I should be exciting and we'll dive a little bit more into the schedule and things that are gonna be happening with this Rockets team and we'll get more into the you know, Breakout players and what the rotations and all that it's gonna look like as we approach training camp For the Houston Rockets till then enjoy your weekend. I'll talk to you guys very soon. Take care
