2019-20 schedule

Per candrew, the average amount of Sunday games for a team of our profile is 6. If that’s evenly split, that’s three home games. It’s a shame that with all the other scheduling conflicts across the league (concerts, events, teams sharing venues with other sports, or even Staples Center housing not just two NBA teams, but also an NHL team), that it’s really having to schedule those 3 games on the road rather than at at home that’s the straw breaking the camels back to **** us in the ***.
 
Damnation -- Jazz @ Bulls while I am likely out of the country.

That said, looking at this schedule, it seems likely the Jazz could go undefeated.
 
I feel bad because the unedited quote matched the formula.

@NUMBERICA Please forgive me. Strong men also cry...

Look m8, I was hoping people would get it without the “s”, but I frankly don’t have that confidence, so it was just there as a hint. I prefer Alp in all things and god and the Bible.

I might be at that Jazz/Bucks game on 11/8.

That’ll be a fun one.

It will be a good test for the new look Favor-less Jazz. Gianis destroyed Rudy last season, Jazz fought back to win the game because Rudy sat and Favors defended Gianis.

It’s too bad the Jazz have never played the Bucks before that.

Western teams tend to have a harder schedule. But not always.

Yes, intuitively, I would think the worst WC teams would have the most difficult schedules (again, depending on who they play 3x vs. 4x) followed by the worst EC teams because everyone they play has a better record. Conversely the easiest schedules should be the elite WC teams followed by the best EC teams.

I don't get why having 6 Sunday road games and 35 road games on other days is worse than having 3 Sunday road games and 38 on other days. And would 3 Sunday home games be any moe advantageous than playing 0 on Sunday? We still face the EXACT same opponents. We still play the exact same amount of H/A games.

I think the disadvantage in the past was more of a scheduling disadvantage. When Jazz were bad, they weren't going to play a Thursday TNT game. And they weren't attractive to a national audience on Sundays. So every home game - and most road games - had to fit in M-W and F-Sat. That created a lot of 3-in-4 and 4-in-5 game stretches. Not really a concern now with a sprinkling of Sun and Thurs games on the schedule.

Well it sucks because Sunday is a perfect day to go to a Jazz game for a lot of people. It's one of their two days off work if they work a "traditional" schedule.

That's what sick days are for. Pick a Friday, call in sick, go to the game.

Use a vacation day (If I call off I get charged a vacation day), potentially lose my OT hours for the week and get an occurrence (missing a day unscheduled gets me an occurrence and if I hit 6 occurrences in a rolling 12 month window I get fired). So I'd rather just use my regular day off.

You need an employer with JazzFanz benefits.

Don't know what you do, but that's an odd job you have that you can't call in sick, even if you genuinely are. Never have heard of an "occurrence." But I guess I can see the 6 occurrences in 12 months getting someone fired.

I don't want to derail, but I don't get an occurrence if I get a doctor's note that specifically says that I have a contagious illness. If it doesn't say "contagious" I get an occurrence.

I work in a union environment. Tons of stupid **** like that and the union seems to just love it. Occurrences is the #1 reason people get fired where I work, and it's not even close. They call it a "no fault occurrence policy" which means the reason doesn't matter. I can call in and say "sounds like there's a lot of work to do today, I don't feel like helping out with that so I'm going to take an occurrence" and it's the same as if I call in and say "My wife was just involved in a serious auto accident and is on life support, I'm going to go be with her." So I call it the "It's always your fault occurrence policy." And again, our union is 1000% in favor of this policy.
