The Lakers don't get long layoffs though, which is a help in places.

I have a question and perhaps this is typical of NBA scheduling but why do the Jazz not play any back-to-backs where both games are at home? They play nine back-to-backs where both games are on the road which seems stupid because they have to travel from one venue to the next and therefore have very little rest. Couple in the fact that they're both road games and it makes those back-to-backs infinitely tougher. They also have the rest of their back-to-backs in which one game is at home and one is on the road, thus still involving air travel, less rest, etcetera. Why is this? To have a team play a game and then have to travel immediately to play another game the next night is stupid imo. Is it to cut back on expenses such as hotels and other accommodations? I can't imagine that's the lone reason. Do they squeeze in the games tighter on the road so over the course of the season the players are "at home" more often than they're on the road so they can see their family more and such? Help me out here. I'm a little pissed because I wanted to come out for a couple games and back-to-backs would be best but I guess I'll have to look at my calendar a little more.

Okay, not that anyone gives a **** but if I come out for two games (it makes no sense for me to fly out for one and have to come right back), the best option is for the November 24th and 26th games when we play New Orleans and then the Lakers. I have a half day on the 24th and could make it out there for the first game in plenty of time, see the Lakers on Friday, maybe ski or something on Saturday and then fly back Sunday, and I wouldn't have to take any days off to do so. Of course, I wouldn't have a Thanksgiving with anyone so that's a negative but still.
The only other option would be the March 26th and 28th games against Dallas and Washington but those would involve taking two days off which sucks.
Damn, I really want to come out in November but I think my girlfriend would be furious if I did that and said screw Thanksgiving.

I try to go out in April, two yrs ago I went in March and the weather was lousy...last yr though, went for game 4 stayed only for a long weekend but it was great.
I agree the schedules are never truly "fair", whatever that means.
However, as I pointed out, the Lakers play the most opponents who have had at least one day of rest. So, it's not like they are playing people when the Lakers are rested and the other team is tired. Both teams will be rested.
