The NBA should ban long road trips like the Rodeo Trip

[rascal]

The NBA should do something to ban all long road trips because it makes the schedule unbalanced and favors the team on the long road trip. It is an advantage to the Spurs schedule to go on the Rodeo trip. The Spurs have historically done well during the so called dreaded Rodeo Trip and there are reasons for that.

The long road trip gives the spurs a schedule advantage. The spurs usually bond together as a team and get used to all the road games in a row. Also the All Star Break breaks up the Rodeo trip so the team is not on the road the entire time. It also is an advantage for the spurs to have lots of long home stands/games during the last few weeks of the season while other teams are still on the grind traveling back and forth from home games to back on road games.

The uneven schedule should not be allowed and the NBA should have said no to the spurs along time ago. The rodeo needs to find another time or place or the spurs should have to play their home games during the rodeo elsewhere, like the Alamodome.

Let me ask you this before I proceed with cynicism.

Do you know why the Spurs take the Rodeo Road Trip?

[rascal]

The Stock Show and Rodeo uses the Arena

[Trimble87]

is this a joke?

[Sausage]

lol

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Wow, that post made absolutely no sense.

[bobby4germany]

WTF??? Let me get this straight... You are saying the RRT helps the spurs so it should be banned? Why would you not want the spurs to have an advantage?

[easy7]

You are a Spurs fan and you don't like it that it benefits the Spurs? Mike Taylor, is that you? Just saying...
Mike Taylor said yesterday that we need to trade Manu, why? To get something for him. His argument was that if Manu gets hurt the Spurs are screwed. Last year Manu was hurt so the Spurs were screwed. In other words - no Manu and the Spurs are screwed. So how is trading Manu solving the problem? :lmao

[it's me]

Bro, somebody hacked your account and is blatantly talking nonsense…

Without the rodeo the spurs wouldn't even be in SA anymore.
So u go to the alamodome, fine, how do you seat season ticketholders from the arena?

:lol

typical rascal fail

"In November 1999, Bexar County voters overwhelmingly approved a partnership between the Spurs, Bexar County, the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo and the Coliseum Advisory Board to build a Bexar County-owned community arena that would serve as the new home for the Spurs and the Stock Show & Rodeo.
The $175 million facility was financed through a $28.5 million contribution from the Spurs and $146.5 million from the County, paid for by an increase in the local hotel occupancy tax and short-term motor vehicle rental tax, collectively referred to as the “visitor tax.” The Spurs and the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo together designed the AT&T Center to be a state-of-the art facility, capable of hosting championship sporting events, rodeo and other first-rate entertainment. The Spurs and the Stock Show & Rodeo agreed to 25-year lease agreements with the Coliseum Advisory Board, which serves as the facility’s landlord."

you are gonna have to just deal with the rodeo for another 17-18 years...sorry

[EricB]

Uh the rodeo will be there as long as it's in it's existence. Period.

[xellos88330]

I could care less about the long road schedule. The rodeo is great fun too ya know.

[TampaDude]

The RRT is part of being a Spurs fan...we love it!!!

[dbestpro]

Two choices for the Spurs if such a band would occur. Play games in the Alamodome or leave San Antonio.

[Whisky Dog]

Lol rascal strikes and misses again

[ChumpDumper]

rascal simply doesn't want the Spurs to do well. Makes him feel good.

[Behrooz24]

rascLOL

[Rick Von Braun]

rascal simply doesn't want the Spurs to do well. Makes him feel good.

:lol

I don't get Rascal's angle over the years. I have had serious difference of opinions with GW, but at least he made me laugh. Rascal on the other hand...

I think you are absolutely right, he is the most active when the Spurs are doing bad. It is just his thing.

[it's me]

...and...... this idiot wants to ban the RRT, that's our only chance to at least try to play at least decent BB.

[jimo2305]

has anyone thought of renaming the thread to the bash rascal thread? lol..

[Allanon]

The RRT is actually the easy part of the road schedule.

I'ts the March/April road schedule that is aweful...15 road games with 12 versus Playoff teams. And 7 B2B's?

I don't ever remember a closing 1.5 months as hard as this one....makes the RRT look like a cakewalk in comparison.

[angelbelow]

When is the Rodeo trip this year?

[Allanon]

When is the Rodeo trip this year?

4 home games and then the first game of the trip on the 3rd of next month.

[eyeh8u]

How the fuck did I miss this gem?

Damn, this is the confirmation of what i've been saying since 2004. rascal is not a Spurs fan. As RVB said, the fucker is the happiest when the Spurs suck. He must have a boner the size of Yao Ming, with the Spurs sucking so badly . . .
