Unless I miscounted, the Jazz only play the Warriors three times. That's huge, almost like an extra win built in.

The teams th Jazz only play 3 times are the Spurs, Warriors, Pelicans and Clippers. That’s pretty good. Only 1 game in San Antonio and the Bay.

What I like most is this:

The Jazz schedule is pretty fair, they play 10 games when they are rested and the opponent is not, they play 10 games the opponent is rested and they are not and they play 62 games when teams are at equal rest.

Last year we played the most back-to-backs in the league (tied with Sacramento, I believe). I never saw a count for the number of games where our opponent was on a back-to-back, but they seemed much less frequent. At least, that's how I remember it.

Bold prediction: Jazz will play 82 games, in some order, featuring home-and-homes with each EC team and 52 games against WC foes.

Eh, traveling is as much about geography and conference make up as anything.

And the impact is more about changing time zones than miles traveled.

Gordon Hayward returns to Salt Lake City on Friday November 9th. Home game #6 and it is on ESPN. Wonder if Gordon will be playing every game at that point or if he will be resting for certain games.

I checked Boston's schedule - The Celtics play the night before in Phoenix and then again on Sunday in Portland Portland. If they are resting Hayward for certain games it would make all the sense in the world not to play him in Utah. I can imagine the **** storm that will cause.

Sucks that I have to wait until next year to see 3 of the 4 games they are playing in the LA area, including 2 in April. Ugh.

But I already secured my tickets to the Lakers game on Nov 23rd (I think it was) here in LA. I have a friend who has access to about a dozen tickets as part of a season ticket pool with his family, so he got me 3 tix to the game. Decent seats too, on one end across from the player benches, about even with the FT line almost to the very top of the lower bowl. Can't wait!!
