This exact thread was made like a week ago

[KembaWalker]

Look at a map of the United States, tell me most of the East teams aren't within proximity of each other, where as the West are more seperated

It's no coincidence the bottom 10 are all East teams

I hate the Cavs too, but stop it

But if that were the case, wouldn't like the top 10 least miles all be East teams?







o wait...

Karma, for the Warriors having the easiest run to a Championship ever. :confusedshrug:

The west is more spread out. Cleveland is a central area.

It's plane travel anyways. Distance really isn't a big deal compared to the hassel of getting ready to fly. I go cross country multiple times a year.

[bdreason]

Almost 20k more miles traveled. Seems fair. :rolleyes:

[bdreason]

Warriors also have the most road back-to-back's in the league, the longest road trip in the league, and the most 4-games-in-5-nights in the league. Guess that's just a coincidence too.

[NugzFan]

Are warrior fans for real?

No fan base can be this stupid.

[GIF REACTION]

Yes

Only Denver are stupider.

[I<3NBA]

did you look at the map?

how the fk can it be made fair to GSW who is at the very edge of the US?

goddamn. some ppl here :facepalm

[J Shuttlesworth]

Almost 20k more miles traveled. Seems fair. :rolleyes:
Yeah. Curse the NBA for making sure the Warriors are a team that isn't geographically close to the rest of the NBA teams.

You can't be this thick, right? Look at where the teams with the lowest miles traveled are located and it should be pretty simple to understand :facepalm

Or do you think the NBA is trying to screw the Timberwolves over too? :facepalm

[bdreason]

When I look at the map, it seems like Portland should obviously travel the farthest... And how does our geographical location explain the most road back-to-backs in the league? The most 4-games-in-5-nights in the league? The longest road trip in the entire NBA?

If anything, teams like Portland and Golden State should be receiving more favorable schedules to counter the extra time and energy they have to spend traveling. I'm not crying conspiracy, but in a stacked Western Conference, everything matters. You travel 3 time zones and have to play 4 games in 5 nights, you're probably losing two of those games. I don't care who you're playing.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Look at where the most teams are bunched together.
http://i.imgur.com/85fNMcx.png
Look at how Portland is a straight shot east to all those teams:
http://i.imgur.com/cXLOkR4.png
Also, Portland is in a division w/ OKC, Utah, Denver, and Minnesota so they spend a lot of time in the middle of the map, which will lead to shorter flights whether you're going east or west. Oakland is in a divison w/ LAC/LAL/SAC so they spend a lot of time being very far away from the bulk of the teams.

And even then, there isn't a big disparity between Portland and Oakland's miles, but it makes perfect sense why Portland doesn't have quite as many miles.

[305Baller]

And the Cavs will still not win the title. Don't worry.

[keep-itreal]

how much help does Lebron need? ****ing pathetic:facepalm

[bdreason]

Who cares why they have the longest travel schedule? Fact is, they do. They also have the most road back-to-backs and most 4-games-in-5-nights. Combined with a top 5 SOS, the Warriors have the toughest schedule in the entire NBA.

I really don't care about the Cavs at this point, I already have them penciled in for at least the ECF's. The Cavs could probably lose several key players throughout the season and still coast to HCA.

Tthe West is a different beast though, and people might call me crazy, but I don't think anyone is guaranteed a playoff spot out West. Curry goes down for 15-20 games? We could realistically miss the playoffs, or at least lose HCA. That's how stacked the West is. And for me, every little thing matters, including the BS schedule.

If my team was out East? Shit, I wouldn't care about the schedule either.

I heard they put magnets in the balls at Golden State

It doesn't matter because if the Cavs win in the finals they are the best team in the league. They beat the best team from the west. Don't give me that matchup garbage. If other teams in the west deserved to be there they would have beaten the other teams in the west. And if the Cavs lose in the finals, well then they lose like everybody else.

The schedule features a league-high 20 back-to-back sets, one more than Golden State’s 19 back-to-backs in 2014-15 and the team’s most since the 2012-13 season. The back-to-backs are comprised of 11 road/road, one home/home, four home/road and four road/home contests. For the first time in franchise history, the Warriors will not play four games in five nights at any point during the season.

Straight from the Warriors official website, so I'mma call BS on your part

Houston and the Clippers have 20 B2B's, stop your crying

I dont even think travelling matters. The more time the playerz travel the more time the players get to sleep on the bus/train/plane (i dont know how they travel). Beats headphones on and chillax.

Gona be funnier when this small guy goes 2/7. Mr 3.5 inches cant handle that tough 72 game season. Probably insecure about his small stature.

I said who cares WHY. Everyone wants to focus on WHY the Warriors have the longest road schedule. Fact is, they do, and it doesn't matter WHY they do.

And the 4-games-in-5-nights came from memory from an article I read explaining why the Warriors have the toughest schedule. It must have been the most 3-games-in-4-nights, either way, the Warriors have the most. They also have the most back-to-back games in the NBA (20), and the most ROAD back-to-backs in the NBA (11).


Any way you look at, the Warriors have the toughest schedule in the NBA, while the Cavaliers have the easiest schedule in the NBA. Must be nice.

Well:
1. You were already exposed as wrong on the 4 in 5's
2. Obviously the west coast teams will have further distance to travel. In the end it's going to add up to like 20-30 extra hours of travel in the season.
3. Cleveland is in the middle of a bunch of other cities.

Stop being an idiot. Travel distance is not what determines a hard schedule.

[bdreason]

Travel distance is not what determines a hard schedule.


You're right, SOS, # of back-to-back's, # of road back-to-back's, and # of 3-games-in-4-nights are what determine a hard schedule... and the Warriors have the most in the league. The length of travel is just the cherry on top.


Also, the real reason the Warriors have the hardest schedule in the NBA is because the league is forcing them to play the most Nationally Televised games (25?). That means they are being forced to play on Thursdays and Sundays more than any team in the NBA, which I'm sure is the reason they have the most back-to-back's and 3-games-in-4-nights. In other words, the NBA gave the Warriors the most difficult schedule in the league on purpose, in order to exploit their popularity.

[Legends66NBA7]

Eastern Conference teams will benefit from an easier schedule, that much is true. Cleveland is in the toughest division in the East if all teams are healthy.

I didn't make the thread. I'm just supplying facts.

1 game separated the #2 and #6 seed last season out West, which I'm sure most would agree completely changed the complexion of the playoffs. Everything matters in the Western Conference, including the difficulty of schedule.
