2009-10 NBA Scheduler: Cavs want more 4 games in 5 nights !

[wuck]

The NBA schedulers really screwed the Cavs this year, only giving them 4-games-in-5-nights three times. Yeah, I know the Celtics and Lakers only had to do this once. Whatever.

But, c'mon now. The Cavs need way more of these next year, because in these 12 games, the Cavs went:


10-2. An .833 percentage. Higher than their .797 overall percentage.

4-0 at home. Higher than their .962 home overall percentage.

• Home wins vs OKC, GSW,TOR, PHI​

6-2 on the road. A .750 percentage. Higher than their .656 road overall percentage.

• Road Wins at NY, MIL, PHI, SAS, ATL, MIA. Road Losses at ATL, HOU.
​

5-1 on the 2nd night of each back-to-back.

• Okay, that didn't hurt the Cavs there so much because the Cavs are 12-2 on the season on the 2nd night of back-to-backs. Give us more of those, too.
​

2-1 in the 4th game.

• All on the road against 2 playoff teams (ATL, MIA) and one possible playoff team (MIL).​

So, David Stern, stop holding us down. Cavs want more 4 games in 5 nights!

For real????

For real????

Yep, Lakers and Celtics each only have one 4-games-in-5-nights stretch.

Lakers, Celtics, and Cavs all had virtually the same number of back-to-backs. Something like 17 or 18.

Cavaliers have had their trips west broken up. They havent had a 6 game trip or 7-8 game trip like some other teams

That being said 10-2 is still very impressive especially the 6-2 on the road.

Yeah, that explains why the Cavs have more 4 games in 5 nights this year than some other teams. I just think the Cavs need even more to reach their full potential. :chuckles:

In their only 4-games-in-5-nights, the Lakers went 2-2 with losses at ORL and MIA, followed by wins at MEM and NOH.

Boston has yet to play theirs: @CHI, MIA, @SAS, @MEM.
