At this point can the NBA really not develop a scheduling algorithm that fixes these traveling back-to-backs? Why couldn't we play Brooklyn tonight if we have a back-to- back? Or better yet, only do them at home. Or even better, get rid of them all together.

If teams basically alternated M/W/F/Su game weeks with T/T/Sa game weeks that should yield 14 or 15 game nights a month over 6 months w/out back to backs, Even allowing for the all-star break, that should let you eliminate back-to-backs and still play an 82-game schedule...

I am sure there is some other bs they are facilitating regarding the arenas.

Most of these arenas are multi-use. They probably would need to extend the season or, what everyone has been saying forever, reduce the number of games, to fix this.

Lookin' forward to hearing Redick rave about Herb on ESPN...(I think he's a huge fan)...but then I realized JJ and the "A Team" will be in LA for Lakers/Clippers later tonight...and we will have to learn to luv...get ready for it...

Beth Mowins/Monica McNutt/Andraya Carter...so...probably gonna get a bit chippy around here tonight...with the 3-woman broadcast team. I'm gonna pop some extra popcorn...

It should be simple for a multi-billion dollar league, but they apparently just are too lazy or incompetent to do so.

Didn't we win last time this happened?


Back to backs weren't invented this season. Play your healthy guys, it's too late in the season with the play in too close for comfort to be giving our best players DNP Rest.

They've been setting up Zion for these back to back rest games by constantly putting him on the injury report every game.

It's happening.

Trey as well. Willie could decide to just punt this game and rest them all.
