The back end of the schedule is definitely pretty sucky. 17 games in 31 days (between Mar 13 and April 12. Don't know how it compares to other teams, though.

We're going to be tired going into the playoffs, unless we can rest guys that last month.

Teams not in the play-in get a whole week off before the playoffs. So, once again, the goal will be to stay out of the play-in.

That’s a ridiculous schedule! A B2B game every week for the first five weeks, four of them against top teams in the West. Good lord. Our guys better come in shape.

Things to note:

-15 B2Bs; 2 in Oct, 3 in Nov, 2 in Dec, 2 in Jan, 1 in Feb, 3 in Mar, 2 in April

-Six-game road trip on November (11/11-11/19)

-Eight-game homestand in January (1/7-1/20)

-Two straight road games in San Antonio and Minnesota. Warriors FINALLY get to play two road games in a row in the same city this season.

-7 of final 10 games at home.

So, if you just go by b2bs, we're not in the bottom 5 but somewhere in the 6th-11th worst range.

When will we have a schedule with less b2bs than half the league? After Steph retires?

So the Valkyries have a mascot.

And the SC Warriors have a mascot.

But the Warriors don't have a mascot.

They had to give up Thunder when Seattle became Oklahoma. Now, pretty much every “Warrior” mascot is going to be problematic because of indigenous offenses.

Don't love it, but I'd rather have the B2B early in the season before the late season nagging injuries force the vets to take days off.

I don't think I saw this posted here:

Makes me feel a little dumb about questioning his efficiency in 1-on-1 plays.

At least they're home for Christmas.

And final four games of the season are in CA.

5 b2b in first 17 games is an unprecedented level of nuts. The league sure hates Steph.

not only 5 back to backs but 4 of them with travel!

jeckyllhouse's avatar

I guess most back to backs involve travel? and at least 2 of their travel B2Bs are home/Sac, which is pretty mild as travel goes

Yeah, that OKC/San Antonio B2B looks like a good opportunity to sit people on the first one. That could easily be an 0-fer.
