Jazz 2015-16 schedule released

[akirac73]

They still have Monta Ellis, Paul George, and George Hill.

Jazz aren't historically a good road team and back-to-back games are very tough.

Who cares about history...Rudy is our starting center now. Things are about to change...

Thank you, Santa Claus! No Christmas Day game for the Utah Jazz.

Jazz open with three roadies, then 4 days off. Home opener nov 4

Detroit, philly, Indiana. Then home against Portland.

We usually start off with a tough slate. I love these three to start and so should the players. 3-0 to start is extremely doable.

Make that four.

Jazz were only 4 games better at home than on the road. For a young team, the Jazz are actually pretty damn solid on the road, and in back to backs for that matter. It is the back to backs at the end of the season that are a killer after you have shortened your rotation due to injuries.

You foresee trouble for the Jazz on the road at Denver for win #5?

I disagree, though it's more interesting in a sport like football (any sport with less games) than baseball (there who cares...there's 162 of them).

This I don't understand. NFL schedule is completely fixed. One opposing conference division with rotating home vs. away (meaning, for example, the Bears will play the Colts in Soldier field every eight years like clockwork), one same conference division rotating home and away, your own division twice, and two games vs. teams in the OTHER same conference divisions based on the previous year's standings. You can find out 14 out of 16 of your favorite teams games even up to 2162 if you wanted to.

Wow, no Xmas road trip, and starting off at East to open the year. I can't remember ever seeing that before, though the East coast start may have happened before.

This is the biggest surprise for me.

Pellies play these teams 3 times:
Denver, OKC, Lakers, Golden State

I'll call that par.

The Jazz need to handle NOLA. Those 4 games are probably the most important for our shot at the post season.

Man that March will be brutal, we will need a good record going in to it.

I was taking a crap while posting so.....

Are you suggesting that you sometimes post when you are not taking a crap? Strange.

Unpossible. They are the only team in the league who never has to go up against Gobert.
