Wow the Cavs have 18 Back-to-Back games this season.

That seems like a lot of back-to-back's in one season. The Cavs even start off the season with 4 games in 5 nights. Im just concerned about the effect this will have on our old centers in Shaq and Big Z.

I know Shaq sat out on the 2nd night of back-to-back's when he played for the Suns. Im not saying the Cavs should do the same thing but I'd like to see the minutes kept down for both Z and Shaq during all these back-to-back's.

I just want to make sher they wont be fatigued come playoff time.

Not really, most teams have around 19, I know the Raptors have 21

What sucked last year about our back to backs is that it seemed like it was always the first game against the easier team.

Well I guess the league thought that our schedule was cupcake last year... Also, it seemed like the Cavs didn't play as much as the other teams in the league. I remember last season when the Celtics played 5 more games than we did within the first couple of months.

I agree a billion percent!!! And last year I am pretty sure we had 19 b-2-b's so 18 is not bad.

18 is actually in a tie for fourth lowest...i know the hornets have 16, the spurs and some other team (bucks maybe?) have 17 and then the cavs and about 4 other teams come in at 18

We look good about the back 2 back's comparing to the other teams.

Um, the Bucks have 22 guys after having the equal most in the league last season, you have a SWEET schedule in that regard.
