This year, the Houston Rockets (13-4) will play on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving for the 38th time in team history when they welcome the Denver Nuggets (9-7) to town.
I know, I know, other NBA teams play on Wednesday but those teams playing on Thanksgiving Eve don’t count as much as the Houston Rockets. At least to me.
This will be my 28th thanksgiving. For the first 26 there was one thing I looked forward to more than the turkey and dressing, the Wednesday night (sometimes Tuesday night) Houston Rockets game with my grandpa, Pap.
We didn’t go to the games, my older brother ruined that before it could begin, but we would sit and watch the games together.
