[Russo] According to @presidual: Clippers will travel 3,604 miles more than the next closest team (Brooklyn). That’s the same difference as Brooklyn (second) to Golden State (tenth).

That’s like an extra 90 miles per road game. It sounds like a big number but I don’t think it’s that big of a deal.
That’s a lot
That’s it this is absolutely rigged against the clippers, they’d be clearly 4 peating if this was a fair league smh
Probably the last season of this nonsense since our new arena will be done next season
This is the same as just taking 1 extra trip to New York isn’t it?
Oh no an extra 15 minutes on a private plane between games, absolutely inhumane. They don’t get paid enough to put up with this.
They literally get extra home games in the same building lol. Don’t feel too bad
Wonder what the Wolves number is, surprised they aren’t #1
Craziest part is that two of their “road” games are technically home games.
So khwai retiring?
Isn’t their a Paris game too?
Well Kawhi isn’t going to play many games this season.
Most of those miles are spent in the air and it’s split over an entire season. We’re talking like 20 minutes a week.
Kawhi’s knees have left the chat
Will the Clippers ever catch a break!!
So basically an extra 4-5 hours of flight time
Brooklyn being 2nd is pretty shocking. Most teams in the northeast corridor/midwest are really close so they must’ve gotten some pretty horrible home/away turnarounds
no idea why we are 2nd in travel, must be something to do with 2 teams in new york city
Fun fact: When the Miami Heat first joined the NBA, they were added to the Western Conference, where their closest conference opponent (Houston) was still nearly 1,000 miles away.
The Heat [ended up traveling over 60,000 miles](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLQhjt0FPpM&ab_channel=RyanVanDusen) that year, which would be 10,000 more miles than the Clippers are set to travel this year.
Will traveling less miles help Kawhi stay on the court? No? Then who tf cares.
Thank god most of them will be compensated with millions of dollars for their efforts
Punishment for all the load management.
Who cares, it’s not like they’ll win anything…
I mean it aint like Kawhi nor PG gon travel given their track record anyway so, cheaper flight and hotel costs for the Clips
Damn quit giving these fans excuses for the inevitable choke job
Portland travelled the most for like 3 years straight and no one said anything but now that any other team gets the most, they throw a tantrum
This is more because the clippers dont have priority at staples. They have the 2nd most back to back games again. The new stadium will help with this
Oh no they have to spend more time on private planes than the other guys. We should feel bad for them
makes sense, they bumming oout in ourr house and we get first priority.
Although I do plan to catch a clipper game when they move to their new stadium just so that I can block one of ballmers many toilets.
But only half of the clippers play each game, so it will more or less work out the same as other teams
Seriously what is this… 8 hours of flight time spread across a whole season? Somehow don’t think this is a big deal.
So, six more hours on a private jet. Oh the humanity
