Jazz to Play in Mexico City December 15th
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
This was my first thought. Are we losing a home game for this?

I don't get it, NBA doesn't want an unified playoff seed because of the wear of travel between east and west but is ok with some teams traveling to Ciudad de México, London, Rio de Janeiro, Beijing, etc.
So, travel because of fairness in competition is bad but travel because advertising and sales is good?

I just wish they would shorten the season by 10 games. Then one trip like this will have less impact, but still help the NBA/Jazz gain new fans around the world.
better be a away game

It doesnt really matter. Losing a home game vs the Magic is about as best case scenario as it gets if you are doing an international game.
I agree about shortening the schedule, but this cuts down on travel distance for the Jazz.
Mexico City is closer to SLC than Orlando. It's also pretty easy to attach this game to a road trip off of a Texas game. This is hardly a travel burden game.

It will most likely be released in the next few days - probably early next week at the latest.
The latest they've ever released is 8/14

I see it being attached to a road game and I see it being a road game for the Jazz. I don't think the NBA would allow a mid-high playoff seed lose a home game, $$$.
Also, IIRC Orlando is about 400 miles closer to Mexico City as well.
