I just thought I post the above link with the thought of a philosophical discussion on the similarities and differences between BB and the NBA, on which BB is generally modeled, as the outcome for the intellectually snobbish managers such as myself.

I'll start by saying that David Stern's position on how to the deal with the Spurs resting their starters for a game in which they are underdogs (perhaps Coach Popovich was training his younger players in Pressure?) seems particularly hilarious when viewed through BB glasses.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

11 games at home? That many?! It's frickin' ridiculous. That's 11 games in which they have home advantage, even if it doesn't count that much in the real world. The truth is that the Heat are the poster-team for the NBA, so they get some perks... Nothing new in the business world. But I am appalled by this. That's just too many home games in a row when you have some teams on 4 game away stands.

What 11 game home stand?

The longest they have is 6. And they have had a 6 game road swing and have another 6 game road swing mid-Jan.

?????

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

There's a rule that the teams must contact the league/the team they are facing about not playing players who aren't injured.
