Goddamit! The Portland game (closest game to me in Seattle) is on Super Bowl Sunday. So much for a road trip.

Without considering B2Bs, travel, etc., Cs apparently have 2nd easiest schedule behind Cavs. Read rest of Yaya's TL for more context/explanation/schedule-related info.

Oh wait!! I misread the schedule. The game on Super Bowl Sunday is a home game against Portland. The Celtics will be in Portland on March 23rd.

Road Trip!!

I like the start.. we get the marquee match up and play 3 games in quick succession. We get a quick look at how well we've adjusted in the pre-season and how the initial rotations etc. look.

Then we get a 4 day break to actually put some practice in and adjust

Also, the last 10-15 games in the run home is pretty sweet... Wizards and Raptors aren't terrible but from March 5 onwards the only potential top team we really play is the Thunder. No Spurs, Cavs, Warriors, Rockets etc. in the run home which could really help final seeding.

If anything, this is the first year not to be pissed.

Yes 35 is a lot. But this will be the best team they put on the court on years.

Better then the Kobe ****show & whatever they put out there last year.

Least they'll be respectable. Bad, but an actual nba team.

I'm skipping on league pass this year.

I can get 40 games without it. Honestly only really thoroughly watch about 45-50 anyways. Miss prob 10-15 & the other 10-15 I have on while i'm doing other ****. Kinda sucks but i'll make due.

I don't get why we play the Knicks on national television lol. They suck & it takes up more games i'd get anyways. Smh.
