by my quick count, C’s have 22 back-to-backs this season, a whopping 18 of which close on the road.

Is it me or it sounds like too much?

hopefully our added youth can produce and help us actually win back-to-backs

It seems like a lot. However, given our depth I would love to see the Pop approach and have 11 games off for both KG and Pierce.

Ridiculous. More proof that Stern hates Boston.

the lakers have 16. the heat have 13. the thunder have 15. the spurs have 17, the bulls have 19.  those are the teams I looked up.

we have 40% more back to backs than the media darling teams and 15-25% more than the other contenders.  

yeah, i'd say we got screwed.

Just wow, to the 18 on the road on the back end.  I mean, fine, if they're 11 and 11, but geeze, not even a pretense of fairness.

we really might lead the league in back to backs, but i'm almost positive we lead the league in road back to backs.

I want to slam David Stern's face to a grill...

But our bench will get battle tested this way. Looks like your plan didn't work out after all, jerk.

that is pretty odd if we have that many more. I wonder how that works and how that can't some how change it so most teams are pretty even.

9 more back to backs is a pretty huge difference.

We shouldn't jump into conclusion right now. How about the Lakers, Heat, OKC? how many back to back do they have?
