DaytonBlue Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm not really concerned with the details of the agreement. What I'm most curious about is the schedule, which is apparently going to be 66 games, 48 conference games, 18 inter-conference games.Now, if it is 48 conference games, that would indicate 3 games VS each team, with a 4th game against 6 of the 14 opponents. How they would determine which teams get to host the extra home games or which 6 teams each team gets to face a 4th time seems odd to figure out. The 18 inter-conference games of course means visting 9 teams and hosting 9 teams (thus facing 3 teams twice).And yet, with 66 games, you can have a balanced schedule:2 home games and 2 away games VS the other 4 teams in your division (16 games)1 home game and 1 away game VS the other 25 teams in the rest of the league (50 games)16 + 50 = 66!What's so wrong with that, NBA?I agree. They fly on jets. They make good money. They can visit every arena each year, even in this compressed season.Glad pro sports will be back in Memphis. I follow the Tigers and college hoops, but they have so few home games against quality opponents.

DaytonBlue Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 anyone know how they will determine who plays what team how many times...random draw?waiting to see how they will screw the Grizz and other small market teams with the schedule...bunch of Grizz fans figure we will have 3 back-to-back-to-backs while teams like the Lakers have only one (NBA already said everyone will have 1-3 sets of 3 games in 3 days.)

Lights Out Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Yeah, I'm not really sure what you're talking about on that. The only team that legitimately gets screwed sometimes on the schedules is the Clippers, but that's because we share a stadium with several other teams and get the crappy dates, and we also (along with the Lakers and Kings) have to take a long-ass February road trip every year while the Grammys are using the Staples Center.

DaytonBlue Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I think some of us small market fans sometimes think the NBA is constantly pulling for a big market finals, even more so than the other leagues, so we think the league will do whatever it can to give those teams an advantage. exhibit A: Kings/Lakers 2002 West Final game 6 exhibit B: 85 NBA draft (Ewing)Although I will admit it's a little crazy to extend that to redoing a schedule in 10 days. But I have crazy all around me. I don't believe this, but I've had people in Memphis tell me they think the NBA is setup like a WWE match.

The_Admiral Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Don't most teams have one big road trip a year? The Bulls/Blackhawks always have the circus trip in November. San Antonio has a rodeo trip. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Supposedly, there aren't going to be too many changes to the schedule. Many of the scheduled games may wind up staying where they are, with a few dates filled in where the scheduling rules apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
