Why does it say the April 15th game against Houston is being played in Boston?...also the Mavs are playing @Seattle on March 2nd, too bad they wont have a team to play

[lurker]

The Suns getting pounded on Christmas day is the new Christmas tradition.

Why does it say the April 15th game against Houston is being played in Boston?

Because it is.

[SAtown]

It's gotta be a typo, unless there's something at the AA that night. But then again, why wouldn't they play it in Houston, SA, or OKC?

[sribb43]

Because it is.

:rolleyes

[Thunder Dan]

there is also a Cleveland/Philly game being played in Orlando according to cavs.com

[Lakers_55]

OKC is going to play their home games in Seattle this year. They will have their new uniform colors and logo though.

45-37. Is that good enough for a playoff spot?

[lurker]

The Suns/Warriors game says Staples center, and the Nets/Knicks game says Target Center. Like the fans in Minneapolis want to watch other teams that suck.

[RonMexico]

Suns have to play 82 games this year in the regular season. Stern hates us.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

:rolleyes

No really, that's what I heard.

[lurker]

The Heat/Detroit game will be in Dallas. WTF is going on? :lol

in the east

[ploto]

A bunch of games that are the final home game of the season for teams are not going to be played at home.

For example: April 15

Toronto @ Chicago in Indianapolis
Milwaukee @ Indianapolis in Miami
Detroit @ Miami in Dallas
Houston @ Dallas in Boston

It goes on and on....

February 27 is the other day it seems to be fairly league-wide.

Spurs games on those 2 nights don't have alternate venues listed.

Those schedules no longer list alternate venues-- eg, Toronto, Chicago, Milwaukee...

Maybe the schedule maker's been drinking tryin to figure out what to do with the OKC Thunder.
