They get less rest than their opponents do more than any other team in the league and also get to face the least amount of teams that are on the 2nd night of a b2b...

Pair this with the fact that they'll have one of the toughest SOS anyways and man....

[Nuff Said]

There's no way it can all be even.

Just looking at this, Washington got off pretty good... being in the East with Paul Pierce now, they could win 50 games this year.

Yeah I know, it just sucks when your team is on the losing end of that :lol

I wish they would have screwed the East teams and gave the West teams a little better scheduling for more rest.

[russwest0]

I mean, OKC only has 10 opponents who played a game the night before.

Compare that to Washington who has 25 opponents next season who are on the second night of a back to back...

That's a massive difference. And then you factor in the fact that OKC is the lowest in the league in regards to getting more rest than their opponents before a matchup and DAMN lol.

The main reason I'm worried is because all Thunder fans know that Brooks can and will overwork the shit out of his star players. Having a schedule like this would only make matters worse for that type of behavior.

[Trollsmasher]

The general consensus is that they deserve it

cry me a river:rolleyes:

No excuses..


Championship or Durant becomes 0-6 in championships with the most stacked team in the league

[ralph_i_el]

So OKC will lose a bunch of games and my wiz will win 50. Then this off season Durant will force a trade:roll:

[TylerOO]

What a ****in whiney little *****

[LilEddyCurry]

B-b-but Russell Westbrook is a machine...
P.s what a beta thread

[K Xerxes]

Is this going to be the excuse if Durant once against shits the bed against midgets in the playoffs?

[KBaller33]

Durant's only 25 right? I know he played crazy minutes last season but he's not pushing 30 years old yet. Plus he's not playing FIBA so he should be fine. Westbrook is healthy too so Durant doesn't have to carry the load like last season.

All in the script

[Lebronxrings]

a strong schedule for a stacked team.



No excuses.

[LakersDaBEst]

excuses already :roll:

[Mr. Incredible]

aaaannddd the excuses are already starting :lol

[LoneyROY7]

Clips getting that #1 seed.

[oh the horror]

Know what's funny? They'll still have a great record of course without any injuries.

[BigTicket]

Looks like Miami got a sweet deal as well. They have the fewest back to back games themselves(16), and the second most opponents playing back to back games(26).

These differences in schedule are not huge, but they will mean a few more wins for the lucky teams.

Silver trying to make sure Miami has a good year to create the illusion that Lebron wasn't that important. :facepalm
Won't work, cause even with that cake schedule the Heat are going to suck.

Damn OP abandoned thread :oldlol:

What? The NBA and its fans will go back to not giving two shits about us unless we're in the ECF or something. I highly doubt the NBA has done anything to help Miami.
