The Spurs' Annual Rodeo Road Trip, as always, will begin in February this season, and it's slightly less terrible than last year's. After a tough month in January—their hardest month of the season, based on their opponents—the struggling team followed it up with an extended road trip that lasted 13 games, spanning an entire month. I don't know about you, but I don't like being away from my bed that long.
That number has been lowered to nine this time, but it still makes it the longest road trip in the NBA. Somebody will try to tell you that the two games in Austin don't count as road games, but I'd argue that they aren't home games, either, so where does that leave us?
