dfwabel Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Welcome to my world. The Clippers (and Lakers) have a long-ass road trip in the middle of every season when the Grammys come to town.And I never hear Laker fans complain about it. Probably because good teams deal with what they have to deal with, unlike bad teams such as the Clippers.The Spurs were also noted in the above post.Exactly. Plus, NBA players are not living out of a suitcase driving from town to town. They are in chartered planes and staying in top Marriott properties: Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Marriott Marquis in towns with said properties. Travel is more difficult, but it is far from slumming it. The NBA has has a contract with Marriott for years before a Ritz-Carlton was built next to Staples Center.

The_Admiral Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Bulls and Blackhawks are both on nine-game road trips for Disney On Ice. That's even worse than the circus trip! ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 The Hawks have a crazy 5-game trip, in this order:-at Milwaukee (which is Algonquin for "the good land")-at San Antonio-at Detroit-at New Orleans-at TorontoEither the Hawks just want to rack up on the frequent flyer miles, or the NBA is just screwing with them...I'm pretty sure that every team in the league is gonna have some sort of nonsensical road trip this year. Fact of life in this wacky post-lockout season.Also, this probably won't even be the roughest patch.That's the annual "Hawks go west because of P.T. Barnum" trip.Which I don't mind, because the circus being here in February allows the lady and I to go to the Smokies for a weekend in the winter....

Lights Out Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 And I never hear Laker fans complain about it.As soon as you can point out where I complained, then that will be a valid point.unlike bad teams such as the Clippers.3rd in the Western Conference.

BigEd76 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 The Sixers (and Flyers) have had 2-week road trips during Christmas and New Year's every year because of Disney On Ice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmd9 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 So I just found out in February the Knicks have to play an away game in Toronto because of the 136th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at MSG. There goes their playoff hopes! The NBA is just not fair... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 So I just found out in February the Knicks have to play an away game in Toronto because of the 136th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at MSG. There goes their playoff hopes! The NBA is just not fair...I don't follow.First, even with that game @TOR in Feb., the Knicks are playing 2 games @TOR and 2 games vs. TOR. That's standard procedure, even in a full-length season. Secondly, why would that be the NBA's fault? It sounds more like it would be MSG's fault.Was there meant to be a joke somewhere in there?

The_Admiral Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yeah, we were all complaining about arena dates sending our teams on long road trips; he just took the whining to its logical conclusion. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigEd76 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 The Sixers inquired about Amar'e but nothing is brewing. They're also interested in Howard (who isn't?) but I doubt he wants to come here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmoehrin Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 The Sixers inquired about Amar'e but nothing is brewing. They're also interested in Howard (who isn't?) but I doubt he wants to come here...Hope you enjoyed your playoff run Knick fans. Last one they are probably going to have for awhile.Right now the Knicks just have the look of a team totally lost with where to go from here. Can't decide on what style of basketball to play, can't decide if they need to rebuild or win now and can't even decide on a GM.Also who knows if and when Baron Davis is coming back. If the Knicks had as many wins as games he was supposed to come back for they would probably be leading the Atlantic Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmd9 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvjjEtjwKHELeBron, y u so awesomeYeah that dunk is sick! I don't really care what people say about him, he is one of the best in the game today. But from what I have read he's not very happy in Miami right now, big surprise right?? It's all just people talking but they seem to think 2014 may be the year of "The Decision, Part 2". Making an early guess that Knicks or Lakers would be his next destination.

CS85 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 You can tell he's the best by how many titles he's won. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

floydnimrod Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Robert Horry was never the best player in the game when he played. I'm not saying he's the best player in the NBA, but you'd be hard pressed to find another player with his size and skillset, at his age.

vmd9 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 You can tell he's the best by how many titles he's won.I never said he was the best, but rather one of the best. It's impossible to tell who is the best right now. If I had to guess, first that would come to mind would be Kobe. Rose is good too, but after your ignorant comment I guess he wouldn't be because he has no titles. That would also exclude players like Howard, Durant, Carmello, or Nash.

Lights Out Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 LeBron is the best player in the league, period. I don't give a damn about ring count, because teams win titles.What LeBron does on the court is incredible. He's a once-in-a-lifetime talent.

Cujo Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Vince Carter dunked over a scrub too, a taller one in fact. He was never THE BEST and any point in his career. No rings either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
