    It's about average, I think.

    I believe the Spurs have had 18 back-to-backs in other recent years.

    B2B games are an abomination, and cheat the fans by playing fatigued teams, risking injury, another cheat of the fans.

    An 82-game schedule over 5.5 months is already very fatiguing.

    There are plenty of 3-4 days breaks in a schedule that permit avoiding B2Bs, if the NBA business really wanted to.

    How many games did the NBA play in the 50s and 60s when there were only 8 teams?

    30 NBA teams dilutes the talent, now drawn world-wide, too much and makes the schedule too damn excruciating.

    Back to back complainers are pussies. I work 5 days a week back to back to back to back to back....do you see me whining?

    If you do not remember, in 99, the Spurs played at least on 3-4 occasions where they played 3 straight days...back to back to back.

    Also, in college bball in the conference tournaments, you play 3 or 4 straight days, depending on your seeding and whether you stay alive, so back to backs in the NBA are not that bad considering the comparison.

    The Spurs are 3-0 in second half of back to backs this year and were 12-6 last year, so obviously back to backs are nor that bad for them.

    I counted 14 B2B games for the Mavs. And i agree, it is a rip-off to the fans who don't get to see the best product possible on b2b games.

    What leads you to believe you've seen the men?
