So the schedule's out. Just now, I took out the big work calendar and filled in the Celtics games (team, time and tv network). This took me half an hour to do (best way to spend a lunch break) but I'm now pretty initimate with how we're going to go through the season.
Everytime I wrote in a game, I made the following faces:
It's brutal baby. The only thing that cheers me up is that others are going to go through the same grind.
Obviously the biggest thing that jumped out was the 2 week road trip in March. It goes Lakers, Clippers (back to back nights for these games, same arena, not much travel) Golden State, Sacramento, Denver, Atlanta, Milwaukee and Philadelphia.
We play Miami one game in the beginning of the season and 3 in the end. There are a lot of home and home games, and we play teams from each division quite frequently during any time period.
We have one back-to-back-to-back games near the end of the season and they are Toronto, New Jersey and Charlotte, all away. Not too shabby.
We play 5 games in 1 week twice. Longest layoff between games is 5 days (game on Feb 22nd and next game on Feb 28th).
Toughest stretch I believe, other than the longest road trip would be:
1. 4/17 @ NYK, 4/18 vs ORL, 4/20 @ ATL, 4/24 vs MIA
2. 3/4 vs NYK, 3/6 vs HOU, 3/7 @ PHI, 3/9 vs POR
Toughest back to backs:
1. @LAL, @LAC
2. @SAC, @DEN
3. @MIA, @NOR
4. vs SAS, @CHI
5. @MIA, vs. ATL
6. @NYK, vs. ORL
7. vs DET, @CHI (tired legs)
8. @Det, @DAL (same reason)
I don't know what other teams schedules look like but WE the fans are going to be mentally spent. I know I will be. But heyyyyyy, the NBA is baaaaack!!
