Don't forget the season now starts earlier then it used to, which is why we're now seeing some bigger gaps in between games throughout the season.

Designed to cut back on back to backs for all 30 teams.

Ironic that we had a 4 day break then a back to back then another 4 day break  :P

So we have to sit Al tonight so he can play tomorrow night even though he had a 4 day break just before this game.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Bump and TP to the OP and echoing his sentiments.

Two great wins (especially Minny) and I guess our guys "earned" the time off, but Saturday to Thursday is an awfully long time to wait to see our Cs again.

It’s like having mini training camps during the year. Goodness knows this team needs as much practice time as it can get. Gotta get that chemistry right!

No, I want them to spend a few days watching tape of that embarrassment the night before Thanksgiving.

If they really are starting to put it together, they will bludgeon the Knicks right from the get, up 20+ at half and coast to victory.

Gino Time or they still aren’t back. This is a revenge game and they should make a point.

Makes sense considering the team did not have a training camp to start the year. These "mini" training camps are each twice as long as the real training camp. Is it a coincidence they started slow with no training camp and then look better after having time to work on things as a team?

Ugh I miss Celtics basketball.

Been way too long and still have to wait another day for a game  :(
