^Nice read about whats going on right now. It is chaos. We have already got to out hotels in OKC at 4:00AM and PHX at 3:00 AM. That takes a toll. Crazy road ahead FAMS!
I saw that. That read is exactly why I hate him. If he went on the road with the team and had to endure those hours, I'm sure he would look at things differently. Such a dick!
How's the bench strength? Maybe you can pick up a young video assistant from the D-League to come into the game early for you?
No offense, HCP, but I think we have to throw out travel as an "excuse". All teams have to go through it. In other words, it's purely relative. I've always had a benchmark that, if the team wins 50% of their road games, they're doing fine. More than 50% is getting into that top-tier category.
I see your point. But I bet we travel twice as much as any central or midwest team by the end of the season.
And realistically the only two teams we are remotely close to is Utah and Golden State. Everything else is pretty damn far away. I used to travel a lot for business and I know how tiring it is. It's so tiring that I hired someone to represent our businesses. I just hated it.
LOL!!!!!! Wanna know my most brutal trip? We had a convention in South Africa. I took something like a 13 hour flight to Heathrow, then had a 6 hour layover, then another 13 hour flight to South Africa.
