YEAH NO KIDDING!
They play San Diego 12 times!! WTF
Why couldn't they go on 2-3 like 5 or 6 game eastern road trips? San Diego and San Antonio alone account for almost 1/3 of the entire schedule? Now imagine those teams are real creampuffs, I mean like AHL incarnations of the Oilers -How would beating up on them every third game translate to better player development? which was the theme they were pushing heavily when this was announced.
More like better for the owners' pockets me thinks.
