What's new

2019-20 NBA Schedule to be released today

Utah got a lot of nationally televised games last year because ESPN needed games to fill the west coast time slots, and most of the west-coast teams, other than the Warriors and Lakers, weren't very good. This year, expect the Nuggets and Clippers to get more games at the expense of the Jazz.
We’re one of the best teams in the West. We should have gotten one of opening night, Christmas, or MLK day on national TV IMO. Also I disagree, the West was good last year as well.
 
Portland was good. Denver, which is almost as far west as SLC, was good. The Kings were vastly improved.

True, but Denver didn't make the POs the year prior, and Portland got knocked out in the first round, so I guess they were lesser priorities. This year, the Jazz are the team coming off a 1st-round exit, and the big holiday schedule seems to be favoring both LA teams, GSW, Houston and Denver ahead of us.

Those westcoast tv games had late starts, 8p or 8:30p.

We’ve been having no Sunday home games since 1979. The last two years are bad. How about the other 28 years?

Jazz play a lot of Monday games which a lot of teams do not. It's not like the league is forcing the Jazz to play on the road to get that coveted network Sunday afternoon game. The crap schedule seemed to coincide with the removal of the traditional Christmas road trip. Not sure where that went or why.
 
The reason we didn't get the big TV slots is because we draw fewer viewers than the big market teams. Simple. We'll force them to play all of our games while we march through the playoffs to the championship.

It's hard to find data that far. But for the last 10 years we've had an above average difficult season every year during that time. And I one of the top 5 hardest average over that time. My guess is over the entire time we are even higher on the difficulty level.
3 years ago we had the 3rd highest. So it's been really bad 3 years in a row.
 
You know Mike Conley is going to get paid more than $380,000 per game? That's like $10,000 per minute that he plays.
