Insane I know.

It's not that tough of a schedule, I'm sure there's worse for a few different teams around the league.

In Los Angeles, this coming season, the Lakers have four games at home in February and the Clippers have two. Well, the Grammies are in Staples Center for 10 days followed by a week when the building is unavailable because of the NBA All-Star Game. If teams can't play at home, they have to play on the road.

 

Tough luck, lots of prep work going on in Staples that month.

I was pointing out their 11 game road trip

[Real Deal]

Haha, wow...I've never seen a team with 12 consecutive road games.

 

But, I guess so, if you want to count the Hornets playing in OKC.

[Phightins]

Gotta be rough sharing a building with a second NBA team and an NHL team. Plus all the other stuff they have going on there this year. Not surprising that something like this happens.

From 1/22-2/17, the Spurs have 12 road games and 1 home game.

How is it "not that tough of a schedule"?

 

They have a 12 game road trip (11 if you don't count the Laker game but even that can considered a road game as it is 90% Laker fans at those games).

 

In a 7 day stretch they play 4 of the 5 best teams in the Eastern Conference, 4 of which are on the road and one is a back-to-back against Orlando and New York. They also play another Eastern Conference playoff team in Milwauakee.

 

Then they go and play the Hornets, Thunder and Lakers in a 4 day stretch.

 

Thir first home game in 24 days just so happens to be against arguably the best team in the NBA in Boston, which also happens to be the 2nd end of a back to back, the first of which is against the Lakers.

 

Sure, there may be some tougher stretches for other teams this season, I don't really care enough to look, but it is laughable to say that the Clippers schedule in February isn't that tough.

I wasn't paying attention to if they were home/away games, just the teams they were facing, so I missed that.

The Spurs get a 10+ road trip every year don't they? Isn't there some rodeo BS that takes over their Arena and forces them to play on the road every year for an absurd amount of time?

Yes sir.
