Well, the new schedule is out. You'd think that errors of the past
might be addressed. Spurs and Mavs three times by the first week of
January? C'mon, let them play the Mavs a couple times after the
All-Star break. Lots of games early, which may work out well. Play
the back to backs before Christmas, when the legs are fresh. How will
Bowen perform after playing in the worlds? Will he show the same
weariness that other Team USA players have shown for the past few
years?

Why doesn't Dallas get to play on Christmas? For years, one the
benefits(?) of making the Finals was the obligation to play on
Christmas. Does Stern think that Dallas is too small market for
Christmas day?

On another note, the rockettes schedule was released, and they DO have
to play 82 games this season, thereby mathematically eliminating them
from the playoffs.

I thought it was the winner of the finals that played on Christmas day - not
bot teams - but hey I could be wrong.

Well, I've (admittedly) spent more time following the Spurs than other
teams, so that may be. Seems every time they play in the Finals, they
win... But they always seem to have to travel...

And, of course, the lakers and shaquille have to play at home, per the
CBA.
