NBA Schedule Analysis and Discussion-Eastern Conference
- Thread starter B.A.R.
- Start date
Philadelphia
Close to the "situation" but not quite. They play a six game trip late-december then come home for two days rest and a home game followed by a b2b roady. This still essentially makes that home game like a road game especially after a 6 game trip that started right before the holidays.

Detroit
Pretty rough right at the start. They have a three game east coast trip, a day off then play Boston at home, another day of travel out west for a 4 game set. Two days off, then host Cleveland b4 going to Boston the next night.
A 6 outta 7 on road like the similar examples with 4 out west, a home road b2b then another road game to complete it.
Also a 5 game road trip who's only western opponent is New Orleans.

Milwaukee
Weird 6 outta 7 set. They go out west for two, come home with one day off for a home game then another day off followed by 4 east conference road games.
In April, we have a "mini-situation"
Its four eastern conference road games, one day off and a home/road b2b.
This won't qualify as the super sitaution play because I prefer 5 game road sets and being out of conference but I will assume there is a play in here. Being this late in season will factor in as well.

Chicago
And we have our first HUGE plays of the year. This is dynamic everyone. As always the circus comes to the United Center every November. Well, the NBA played it out perfect for us...
11-18 @ LA Lakers
11-19 @ Portland
11-21 @ Golden State
11-23 @ Denver
11-24 @Utah
11-26 @ San Antonio
11-30 @ Philly
12-2 vs PHILLY
12-3 @ Milwaukee
Yes, they do have time to stop home for a day or two but they still will be running on fumes and tired of living out of a suitcase. Those last three games will represent plenty of opportunities.
They also have another 7 game trip late January into February.

what about that spot where a team plays the Knicks and then the Celtics or vice versa and if they cover against one fade on the next...something like that...
I`m looking forward to NBA , going to use my winpicks program a little smarter this year and looking in to one of those neural network things

Regardless of what the record is of teams ATS that play NY and Bos back to back, I don't really buy into this one. I think this is just a coincidence really. I mean does NY really give a shit if a team comes in and beats Boston or vise versa???? Unlikely

1. Long road, quick home, back on road
2. End of a long road
3. Long opposite road trip, come back home

And I'll keep hyping Indy in every NBA thread. They are my sleep team for 2008/2009...Danny Granger will have a breakout year.

Except against the Raptors. Im pretty sure JO wants to stick it Larry Bird in a bad way.
