HOUSTON (AP) -Houston Rockets coach Rick Adelman is criticizing the NBA for setting up his team’s late December schedule that includes four straight back-to-back sets.
The Rockets face Detroit at home on Tuesday, then must fly to Denver to play the first-place Nuggets on Wednesday. They visit Dallas on Friday and return home to face Oklahoma City on Saturday – then have to play two games on consecutive nights twice more during Christmas week.
On Monday, Adelman called the stretch “horrendous” and “utterly ridiculous.” He said the schedule gives his team little time to practice, and even less time to spend with their families for the holiday.
