Damn...
I was just browsing some Spurs related articles when I came across this chart. It compares the rest days of a team against the opponent's rest days (higher means more rest than opposing team). The Spurs are dead last as a result of their schedule. More reason to tell Stern to off.
Found at the bottom of this article: http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/ey...3-nba-schedule. Article was written at the beginning of the season but is ever more relevant now.
Damn...
Im speechless.
At least LAL is down there with us. Still, WTF.
Pop made some adjustments to this sketch
Good find
In the future, when strength of schedule is calculated, it will factor in how much rest each team got before the game. For example, beating a team on the fourth game in five nights after you have four days off shouldn't be counted as a quality win no matter the level of opponent.
Wow nice find. Makes you wonder how we got these crazy early season roadies when the Rodeo trip is pre-known in the scheduling algorithm. The good news is were home heavy after that and our record hasn't suffered so far
As Andy Everett reminded today regarding the upcoming 4-games-in-6-days road trip :
4 games...4 different time zones.
No surprises here, Spurs schedule is really tough, but so was last season(number #1 if i am not mistaken), in Pop i trust.
Just makes it more ridiculous that we got fined for resting players. I mean really....
One more chance to say " you, Stern."
Now that's some bs. All the more reason they should have fought it. Oh well.
I wonder what this looks like at the end of a season? It definitely would not completely even out like it should.
What do the numbers mean in relation to actual days rest? Looks like the numbers are just around a mean average time. This could be misleading and meaningless if the difference is small from top to bottom in actual total days rest when averaged all out.
February 2014 can't come soon enough...
