We play Memphis tomorrow night but don't play Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, then Friday in SA.
Then next Sunday we're in OKC, and then we have fly to Miami for a back-to-back? And then we only have one day rest and we play Indiana? Damn that's brutal.

A road OKC road Miami back to back is brutal. I wonder how many other teams in the league have that setup, someone research it. OKC and Miami are not geographically close at all, that doesn't even work.

We get the most back to back games because we aren't popular enough to be considered on national TV days like Thursdays and the occasional Tuesday. I guess that's Stern's way of punishing the uncelebrated teams.

I read somewhere, where we get a lot of back to back games so we can have more weekend games where our attendance is better, or something like that.

How are the schedules decided on? Is there a computer program that does it following certain guidelines like "Don't have three games back-to-back-to-back" or "Miami needs lots of Sunday games against high-caliber opponents" or is it just a bunch of guys working night and day and saying "Hey wouldn't it be funny if we made the lolcats play all of the four championship contenders one after another on the road?" and giggling amongst themselves?

maybe Silver will be different, but his love of sleeved jerseys and expanding to other continents isn't good

I read that too. That our front office requested weekend games if they're going to be back to back but I also heard Clifford say in a interview that the reason why we have so many is because we're not nationally televised ever.

Well having back to back games is fine and all, but that stretch of games is just rather uncalled for. If we were the Knicks or Lakers and battling to move up in playoff seeding and they had that schedule there would be a riot.

finally made it to a game this yr & had a good time. best parts were the kids game beforehand where one of the teams literally didnt get a shot at the basket, getting ball stripped every time. felt kinda bad for em. and MKG I think it was getting beaned in the head by the fan after CDRs awful pass
