The Houston Rockets will start their season July 31 in Orlando under a tightly-wound, isolated bubble. This should be seen as a tune-up session. Why?

The Houston Rockets will hopefully be able to finish the season with a start within the next few weeks and there’s a lot of promise of how they’ll be able to take advantage of being off for the past three months because of this global pandemic that we’re dealing with at the moment.

It’s quite refreshing to know that we’ll be having some basketball to watch but just as former NBA player Stephen Jackson has said, it should not distract from the immense strive that has been made toward social justice over the past month.
