Why can the celtics play the heat 4 times and sixers 3 times

It doesn't make sense we played them 2 times at there place but one tine at ours. You should play everybody in your conference 4 times.

In a lock-out shortened season, there is just no way to play all conference opponents 4 times each.  The season is only 66 games, playing 4 against confertence opponents would only leave 10 games against the western conference.

It does seem a little strange that they would play more games against the Heat (4) than Philly (3) considering Philly is a divisional opponent.  That's the first I've ever heard of that happening.

Honestly, whoever designed the schedule (not just for Boston, but for every other team) must have been an incredibly stupid human being. I mean, obviously the lockout screws things up, but why on Earth would anyone plan things out the way they are? Our April schedule is almost spitefully bad.

And our schedule in the first half of the season is spitefully good. There is a balance to everything.

C's are a draw so it's understandable. They really did put all the tough games in April though. I just wish the C's took advantage of the early soft schedule.
