Yeah man I can’t argue with someone who doesn’t understand that professional athletes playing basketball is different than playing a pick up game. Again, I’m not trying to be a jerk but to act like this is no biggie means you haven’t really been around an athlete or a game situation and how something like this completely messes up your team schedule.

I didn’t realize you were an expert on playing professional basketball. Please give me all your insights on how it all works. I didn’t realize that pro athletes couldn’t get treatment at the team facility if it lands at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow. Is it because our crack medical staff all leave at 10:00 a.m. I also didn’t realize pro athletes couldn’t get up shots because they don’t get in until early tomorrow morning. I guess it’s straight to the layup line for warmups. I didn’t realize all that. Please educate me. I obviously am just clueless. I learned from you how important it was to win preseason games, so help me with this too

Lol Im good. I’m not angry or upset. Just responding to something I disagree with in a relatively polite manner.

Are you good. Are you chillen dude?

Idk the plans but it’s a two
hour flight…(if that long) not flying across seas. Up at 7....home before 10....nappp....shoot around. Nap. Game time

If only it was that easy lol

Its not just about the flight. I doubt you could play a NBA game competitively fly in the next day and play really well competitively again the next day. There is a reason nba players rarely fly in and play on same day. They’re overextended to begin with from last night, they’re not prepared to stay in okc so they then scramble to find hotels, they have to scrap treatments/shoot around next morning because they’re flying in, once they fly in they have to go home, at some point in a span of few hours- get treatment, shootaround, let your body rest, eat and make yourself ready to play another NBA game. This completely throws off a players whole gameday routine. Again athletes are creatures of habit. I know people want players to just do it and its no biggie. Then same people get pissed when players get hurt or hardly play and get blown out by 20 plus. The pelicans media and CJ publicly tweeted about it for a reason. Its a big deal for them.

So now they’re scrambling to find hotel accommodations

Wednesday night in Oklahoma City ?

The Omni is probably at 40% occupancy

I’m guessing this was easier than finding food.

I’m not sure if the funnier part of all of these posts is that you keep saying the same thing over and over in different posts, or the fact that you think they are having to scramble for hotel rooms in Oklahoma City on a Wednesday night.

I think its funnier that you spend time posting about enchiladas and big brother season 25. But to each its own.

My dude, you have more posts than me on this site in six months than I do in almost 18 years. Criticizing me about the time I spend, and content I post on this message board exudes a level of lack self awareness unlike no other.
