If you want to see something hilarious, just compare the schedules played by Sacramento and then by OKC.
Yea I saw, but it’s always funny since OKC can’t really play itself and everyone is probably easy to them
it is definitely annoying. Because I want to watch the team and it also seems like a few games have started late and sometimes I just can’t stay up like that. I generally go to work about four or five in the morning. But with the issues with DFS and the fact that we were incorporating so many new players I think it could end up in the favorable column as long as we get these guys back.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Rockets play the same number of games as all the other teams, and the season lasts +/- the same number of days for all the teams. I am fairly certain that the Rockets will play the same number of games over the same number of days as all of the other teams.
I care. The games being this spaced out early on means they will be packed together later. Which means fewer practices, more travel, and less rest down the stretch. We all saw how tight the Western Conference got last season and its probably going to be similar this season so a hectic schedule in Jan-Feb-March isn't ideal
There are 15 teams that play 16 back to backs There are 6 teams that play 15 back to backs There are 5 teams that play 14 back to backs one of which is the Rockets There are 5 teams that play 13 back to backs OKC is in this group
The instances where opponents are also playing B2Bs should not count since both teams face a similar difficulty. Rockets @ Jazz Sun/Mon is an example.
