Western conference semi-finals: Game 1 — Jazz @ Rockets 4/29/18 1:30 pm MST

I took the hint that my original point is still holding true.
The jazz got screwed harder than all other nba teams. No one has posted a scenario where a team got less rest than the jazz yet. Some have been close, but ultimately the jazz were screwed by the scheduling more than everyone else.

Well, I guess you *are* trolling, since I don't think you are a complete moron. Still, let's put this troll-bait to bed.

The 37 hours for the Jazz this weekend is based on them finishing their media obligations at 2:30 am EDT Saturday morning (4 hours after their game start time of 10:30 pm Friday, and then starting a game at 3:30 pm EDT Sunday afternoon, between which they also traveled one time zone east).

In 2017 (the first year I looked at), the Boston Celtics started a game at 8pm EDT Friday April 28 and finished their media obligations at 12:00 AM April 29, then traveled one time zone east to play a game at 1pm EDT on April 30, which was 37 hours later. Exactly like the Jazz this year.

So no, the Jazz were not screwed more by the schedule than anyone else. I do believe 37 hours is the minimum, so you could say no one has been screwed worse. But many teams have been screwed the same amount.
