What's the deal with draft picks again? We get GS's unless it's top 7? Minny gets ours unless it's top 14? Something like that? Am I missing any other picks?
Schedule is released!
- Thread starter Zulu
- Start date
Wow, the season starts with 4 games in 5 nights and 6 games in 8 nights. That's tough.

Thats about where I predicted the jazz before the schedule came out, but now looking at it, I'm not sure where those 20 are coming from.

January 14th is circled.

I completely agree. In fact, looking at the schedule, I could see us having a worse record than 20-46.
Okay, it looks like we do get some Eastern Conference teams twice, just not all of them. D.Will is coming back to SLC.

Looks like our first game in LA is their 3rd game in three nights. We can win that one.

Anyone know if the NBA package is available via Verizon Fios?

I believe they just started offering it this year.

FWIW, the Jazz's two least hectic months will be January (15 games in 31 days) and April (13 games in 26 days). Should Utah find itself in a race for the 8th seed in late-April - they have somewhat of an advantage with just 5 games (4 of them at home) in the final 12 days of the season.
March (19 games in 31 days) is brutal, and February starts out tough (including the 3-games in 3 nights road trip) although the All-star break divides it up a bit (13 games in 22 days pre-allstar break/post-allstar break begins w/a back-to-back to close out the month).
The Jazz's schedule- 66 games in 117 days is only 1 game off the 98-99 50 game marathon - and they didn't even play an all-star game in '99. (One positive is this year's playoffs should operate on a relatively normal schedule while the '99 playoffs were played at an insane pace.)
Can't really complain because it's going to be this way for every team, but whoever wins a championship should have an asterisk next to the title. Just like in 98-99; it's just going to be a crazy season, and for once it's better to be young and rebuilding rather than older and contending.
