You kidding? We Spurs fans love the Rodeo Road Trip. It's kind of the unofficial start of the stretch run for us.

We ain't the ones bitching about resting players. Hell, we kind of started the modern trend of so doing, tbh

Fine, but no Costas. I hate that little anti-American shite.

Gonna guess wise people don't think something that's happened for 5 years running is a "fluke." Do you understand how sample sizes work?

Give us a serious study
I did. You didn't like what you saw, so you said it was a fluke.



There are 82 NBA games , 41 road games & 9 or 10 back to back road games since you want to talk about sample sizes. 9 or 10 games over 5 seasons is barely 50 games per team ( less than an NBA season) as opposed to over 400 per team overall.


Pulling 9 or 10 games per team from a season & I'm sure statistical anomalies will pop up. Probably a reason small cities like Chester Pa or Petersburg VA top larger Cities like Chicago when it comes to violent crime rates


A real study would investigate the type of injuries. Career/ season ending injuries? Fatigue related ? Elbow to the head? Teammate shoved into your leg ? Sore Labia?


Analytic geeks must be afraid to leave home.

Problem with NBA-ESPN is they cater to about 15-20% of general public, not a good business model.



That is a fantastic business model

I doubt they are anywhere close to that high though.
