Thanks for the information. We have the same .. well ok, at least very familiar schedule every season thanks mostly in part to the damn circus. Hopefully it won't be a bad effect this year as it has been over the last 9 years now.
We blew on that circus trip last season. Hopefully we get off to a great start when the season starts.
I don't think we'll do too badly in the road trip this season. Last season wallace was still getting used to the team. The years before wer were just inexperienced. This year I don't think we'll have that problem because the roster is pretty much the same and we're more experienced. However there might be a blockbuster trade between now and the road trips...
I thought we were gonna do fairly well on the circus trip this year because of Wallace, now I really just don't know. We're a year smarter and better at least, so hopefully we'll do slightly better than last year.
the circus trip doesnt bother me. its that damn month of feb. My birthday is in feb and I wanted to see a game but all of the games are road games. the only Teams I can see are the hornets nuggets and the Wiz. and those teams dont interest me.
