    Just saw that.

    All teams have Back to Back to Backs. That's gonna be crazy. I hope the Rockets aren't one of the teams with 3.

    Maybe I am reading that release wrong. I don't see where it says the full schedule will be released this week.

    Back-to-back-to-backs....I hope they have the humanity to at least make 2/3 if not all 3 home games. Or maybe LAC-LAL-GSW/SAC, NYK-NJN-PHI

    But I doubt it. The NBA can be jackwagons when it comes to this. And we can all put down $10000 that the Lakers and Heat won't be given 3.

    And neither will the Knicks, Celtics or Mavericks.

    I like how it says "no more than 3" ... oh yeah, so no more than NINE of your games could be back-to-back-to-backs. What a joke.

    Couldn't agree more with you, emjohn. The NBA has turned me off a great deal with their greed and then their sardine-can packing of the season to recoup the money they lost because they couldn't get a deal done in a couple of years of negotiating. I'll be back in the full swing eventually simply because I love to watch the game, but I know many fans that won't be for some time.

    The good thing about this schedule is it favors the Rockets current youth movement.

    Why couldn't they extend the season even more so they wouldn't do this stuff?

    Wow, this severely hurts teams like Boston and San Antonio.

    Because it would make sense to just add an extra week or two to the season...

    Maybe we'll finally be able to see what our 8th-12th men are capable of when our rotation players are passed out on the bench taking power naps. Take that Minnesota! Rick Adelman will play your 1-7 guys until they die.

    NBA players now almost have longer work hours than I do. Almost.

    back to back to backs will be nice for basketball junkies like me, not so nice for the players.

    Rockets always get screwed with bad schedules (extra back-to-backs, etc.) because they can NEVER EVER PLAY ON THURSDAY NIGHTS.

    For teams that can play on THURSDAY NIGHTS, you have 7 days a week to schedule their games. For reject teams like Rockets, you have to distribute their teams among 6 days a week.

    GET IT?

    We'll have 3 back to back to backs, no doubt in my mind.

    1 reason the lakers and heat won't have this is because they will play on tnt more on thursday games more than other teams. The schedule is built around their games more than say the rockets or the t-wolves.

    It might be wrong, but those are the facts.
