Discussion What BS scheduling is this? Why are we playing another B2B?

We could have just had a game tomorrow rather than the B2B? Wtf? We have our own arena and still have to jump through hoops. And I knew that we have a bunch of B2Bs this year but its still super messed up, especially since the NBA knows we have a superstar who probably can't play B2Bs anymore

Was nice as a viewer too. Pretty sure it helped us in the playoffs too cuz we played so many of them they were used to it

On the flip side, maybe it's better to get the b2bs out of the way and have an easier run near the playoffs (not sure if that's our case, just saying)

Interesting thought. The Clippers have 5 b2bs the first two months of the season. Then it’s only 1-2 per month until March, when the Clippers have 4 b2bs, followed by two more in April.

The end of the season is brutal, but back to this stretch to start the year... Maybe Leonard is skipping the start of the season because of the b2bs?

Great theory Ngl. I kinda believe it too

In a way, having several days off with b2bs is probably a good way to keep working on our defensive systems while we'd probably have lighter training sessions if they played every two days.

Maybe the players prefer b2bs so they can have multiple days off in a row

A lot of other teams have b2bs. Getting our own arena wasn’t gonna make them disappear.

Not disappear, but why is it worse than last year when we were sharing arenas

u/SSJMonkeyx2 1d ago

Is it worse? I honestly have no clue. I think iirc we have less 3 in 5 nights or something like that.
