Oct 30: home opener v. Grizz

15 home games after the RRT

[DPG21920]

Heavier home schedule to start the year, vs after mid-year.

Sweet. Gonna get dem tickets.

Christmas day at home vs Rockets

Another game I'll probably go to.

[DPG21920]

18 B2B's

[DesignatedT]

How many b2bs did we have last year?

[SpursRock20]

RRT doesn't look too bad. Could easily go 7-2

[DesignatedT]

Schedule seems pretty balanced all the way throughout.

[SpursRock20]

Both Miami games come after a day off. One will be on ABC, the other will be on TNT.

Next edition of Restgate:

Dec 10 @Toronto
Dec 11 @Milwaukee
Dec 13 v. Minnesota
Dec 14 @ Utah

Also interesting that the Dec 4th game in Mexico City will count as a home game for Minnesota.

Only one set of 4 games in 5 nights.

[chazley]

We got a primetime slot on Christmas Day against the Rockets? AWESOME.

[SpursRock20]

By my count, we will have at least 7 games on TNT this year (Thursday games), with the first one not until Dec 19 at the Warriors.

[FromWayDowntown]

Spurs play everyone in the West 4 times except:

Clippers (1 home, 2 away)
Kings (2 home, 1 away)
Nuggets (1 home, 2 away)
Timberwolves (2 home, 1 away)

[SpursRock20]

We got a primetime slot on Christmas Day against the Rockets? AWESOME.

As we should, we went to the freaking Finals for crying out loud.

[chrhawk]

When's the last time the Spurs got a home game on Christmas?

[Mel_13]

Only 7 games in April and the only one outside of Texas is at OKC. Last game of the season at home on a Wednesday. The schedule, at least, will be favorable heading into the playoffs.

[DesignatedT]

Every team is rumored to be wearing sleeved jerseys on Christmas. This will be interesting.

[Splits]

3 Laker games in the final month is nice, automatic wins.

[RD2191]

Damn, the first week is a doozie.

[FromWayDowntown]

There's only 1 set of 4-in-5, but there's:

a 7 games in 10 nights stretch from November 5 through November 15 (@DEN, v. PNX, OFF, v.GST, OFF, @NY, @PHI, OFF, v.WAS, OFF, @UTH); and

a 11 games in 16 nights stretch from December 10 through December 26 (@TOR, @MIL, OFF, v.MIN, @UTH, OFF, @LAC, OFF, @PNX, @GST, OFF, v.OKC, OFF, v.TOR, OFF, v.HOU, @DAL)

Then again, there's a whole lot of good rest stretches in parts of this schedule. The Spurs get 2 full days off on 11 different occasions, get 3 full days off on 2 different occasions, and get 3+ days off on 3 different occasions (including the all-star break).
