The Houston Rockets are Gearing up for the NBA Preseason

houston rockets


With just over one month to go until the NBA preseason kicks off, it’s time to see the Houston Rockets schedule and who they are going to play against and what we can expect from those games!

Shanghai Sharks - October 2

The Shanghai Sharks are a member of the Chinese Basketball Association and first laid claim to Yao Ming, before he moved on to the Houston Rockets. October 2nd’s game will see the current Houston Rockets beginning their preseason games by playing against Ming’s old team. Should be a fun time for American and Chinese fans everywhere!

New York Knicks - October 4

Founded in 1946, the New York Knicks who play their home games at Madison Square Garden are a fixture in New York life. The Knicks’ last season saw them suffering a disappoint loss to the Indiana Pacers. With a somewhat checkered success rate over their 70-year existence, the coming games will have fans at the edge of their seats in hopes of amazing wins!

Memphis Grizzlies - October 15

Considered one of the youngest teams in the NBA, they were established as the Vancouver Grizzlies in 1995 and renamed in 2001. With the last season seeing injuries in the Grizzlies and losses to the Rockets, the coming games are gonna be eagerly awaited, to see which way the tide turns!

Dallas Mavericks - October 19

Dallas and Houston are both on Interstate 45 and hence, their relationship is deemed the “I-45 Rivalry”. A fairly young rivalry (as compared to the Spurs), theirs began in 1980 when the Mavericks joined the NBA. Since then, the Mavericks have beat the Rockets in the playoffs in 1988 and 2005, while the Rockets beat the Mavericks in several season series in the ‘90s. The 2015 playoffs saw the Rockets winning five games against them in the best-of-seven series. With this kind of movement, what does the new season bring?

San Antonio Spurs - October 21



Much like with the Mavericks, both cities are located on Interstate 10 and the Rockets-Spurs rivalry has been dubbed the “I-10 Rivalry”. Their rivalry was born back in 1976 when the Rockets moved from the American Basketball Association and then beat the Spurs to the division title in 1977. With about 40 years of competition between them, it’s bound to be a game for the books!
