This is an odd complaint. Many teams had a full week off, including your Blazers. The Pacers are one of the three teams that opened with back-to-backs and they've had a cozy schedule so far with 5 more home games than road ones.

One of the three teams? There are like 10 that play again tonight.

You're right, there are ten. I looked at the wrong day. But I also don't see any preferential treatment being given to OKC or anyone for that matter.

Best signing they've made in years! He's been a regional tear jerker I guess you could say.

Every team catches breaks and bad stretches over the season. Pretty sure the is OKCs first real break.

Spurs on the rodeo road trip. Haven't played at home since Feb 1. 9 in a row on the road. After game in Phoenix Friday they will have played 12 of last 14 on road.

And by comparison the Thunder have one 4 game road trip the entire season, compare that to other teams and see what you come up with. Most teams have 4, 5 and 6+ game road trips and multiple ones at that.

There is a reason for that though, the arena is basically the Thunder's. They don't get evicted for any long stretches. Even the AHL team plays across the street in the convention center. There are occasional one night events at the Peake, but not much more than that.

BIG TRADE!!!

Jason Terry and Reggie Evans for Marcus Thornton

Essentially this doesn't have any playoff impact.

Terry looks done and Evans cant really do anything but rebound a little and set picks. Thornton's game has cratered.

Every non-tax paying team benefits as the Nets payroll and subsequent payroll tax increases as they add salary.

I think this is a pretty good deal for the Nets and I can't understand at all what's in it for Sacto. Thornton is 26 and needs a fresh start; the dude can seriously fill it up when he's right. Terry is 36 and Evans is 33. Neither was going to be a significant contributor this season. It's not as if they're expiring deals either. The coach must've just hated Thornton.
