    I think they could have chosen to have one or all of them be away-home instead of home-away...

    Still confused......why would Portland get that option as opposed to the other team?

    If being stoned, eating Cheetos, and laying on your couch counts, then Damon will be well-rested.

    This season may be the longest training camp we've ever had

    I think the point is that the regular season ends in April, so they have a 4-in-5 later in their schedule (when teams are the most tired, most beaten up) than everyone else.

    I think the days of 5 starters playing huge minutes ends this season. We'll have fresher legs on the court throughout the season and maybe set a record for the amount of different rosters we try out. Damian is the exception..he'll play a ton of minutes

    Should we rest guys like Dame this season?

    Maybe play certain guys limited minutes in those 4 in 5s?

    That's not how Chris Paul became one of the greatest pt guards in the game. New Orleans wasn't an elite team with him at the helm but he played big minutes when he was healthy

    What else is new...we've been getting screwed on the schedule every year....Moda center needs to wait to schedule other events until blazer schedule comes out

    I read it as NBA teams all have the option to change some of their back to backs but Portland declined where as most teams move the games to an easier day. Makes it sound like the team purposefully took this more difficult schedule in order to lose games.

    Ok, that makes sense as a major negative for teams in the playoff hunt. Aka, not us this year.
