    It's kinda weird that Portland doesn't start their pre-season for a week.

    Why do we have such a late start? If games start tomorrow you would think we would play our first game within a few days of tomorrow, but our first game isn't until the 11th? Odd to me.

    I love it bro. Since I’m such a detriment to member’s enjoyment of the site right? You guys would be surprised how many threads I start that Sly or somebody recreate for that exact reason. HA!

    To me, it is more odd that some teams are starting so soon. Only 3 days of practice before you play your first game?

    Edit: I see it is Boston at Denver. That makes a little more sense with them both being veteran teams. But for a younger team, I would prefer more practice time first.

    There are a plethora (that is the first time I’ve ever typed that word FAMS!) of reasons why some teams start sooner than others, but this game for example is in Abu Dabi.

    I think the teams that start early have some sort of far away game or games in their schedule.

    Only 2 of the games are in far away places (Dubai and Hawaii).

    Boston and Denver were permitted to begin training camp a week earlier than the rest of the league.

    True, but they're not the only ones starting a week earlier than the Blazers. Just seems like an odd Summer league schedule scenario.

    We’re not important enough to garner interest to the start of the preseason.

    They were like “they need all the practice they can get”
