    Seriously, what is the point of playing against only 2 opponents over the next 5 games and playing 2 in a row in Phoenix?

    I guess the point is that the league scheduled it like that, so what choice do we have?

    Although forfeiting all five would certainly help us keep that FRP out of OKC's hands.

    Them how about we play half of our home games to start the season for less travel, and then only play each region on road trips at a time? Hell, let's just play every game in North Dakota.

    Glass half full, it gives the team a chance to try out different matchup adjustments over multiple games. For the younger players, it would be a glimpse into what happens during playoffs.

    But I can't see it being good for selling tickets, especially in Phoenix. I think people would prefer seeing a variety of opponents.

    To accommodate Sengun's travel restrictions, they scheduled us back to back home games in Phoenix. The GOAT lives on!

    Nobody wants to be in Arizona or Oklahoma longer than necessary.

    Elementary kids designing the basketball courts, Players diving on the floor flopping, coaches looking like Bellichick with their track suits and these schedules that make no sense.

    The schedule has been ridiculous all season. The new format sucks.
