On the coming eight-game road trip: ``It is going to be a long one. We’ve got our work cut out for us. With anything, when you’re looking at a long period, the start is everything. We want to get off to a good start and then you’re not looking at regrouping. Our start to the trip will be of ultimate importance. If we can get off to a great start in Philadelphia, then the rest of the trip just falls into place. We don’t have to travel a great deal. We get to have the Eastern Conference travel schedule where we're in the Eastern time zone for seven of the eight games. That’s really beneficial. By the time we get on that Eastern time, it’s always easier to go there. We do want to get off to a great start in Philadelphia, which is a tough place to play. Their team has stumbled a bit lately but we have to expect they will be at their best against us.
