22 Back to Back Games!!!

22 back-to-backs....That's a lot.

This just shows how tough it's going to be to be one of the best teams in the west.

 

[CruzDude]

Yeah, but of the 22 back-to-backs, 11 have one game at Arco Arena and most are western conference games, 1 to 2 hr flights. And Kings have a very good road schedule with on one long (6 game) and the rest 3-4 games.

^ did i miss it? i thought the longest road trip was 5 games?

All teams start out almost on the same day and end almost on the same day and have to play 82 games in between. If there are more back to backs then they have more rest for some of the other games.

That's a good way to think about it.



It would pay off to have all of those back-to-backs if the teams that they play with a lot of rest leading up to the game are good teams. If they are tough teams, they will be well-rested and mentally prepared, in the sense that they know what they have to do to beat that certain team.

Two more back-to-back games Oct 19-20, 24-25


So that makes 24 Back to backs!!!!

Yeah I know, those are pre-season and really dont count!

Maybe they will focus in pre-season on some strategy on how to handle all the back-to-backs

it really isn't a big deal....those who have good teams will win and those who don't will lose...it's that simple

there is gonna be some parts of any NBA schedule that seem unfair to somebody. the way i look at it is, we may have 22 back-to-backs, but we dont have a ridiculously tough amount of long road trips. with musselman as head coach and a decent rotation i think i would rather have more back-to-backs and less long road trips. so lets see what these kings can do
