Click on the link. http://www.nbastuffer.com/2010-2011_NBA_Schedule_Rest_Days_Analysis.html We have the least back to back games and a low amount of 4in5 day game and 3in4 day game stretches. We also have one of the highest amount of 3+Days rest stretches.
Rest is nice, but it does take you out of your rhythm. I think the best is a game every other day. EDIT: Looking at that chart, it looks like we are tied for most "every other day" games. So yay!
From a quick glance at the schedule I think the only 2010 playoff teams in the second half of those back to backs are, @ Phoenix OKC @ Charlotte @ Portland @ Utah Might have missed a couple. But still, can't hope for much better than that from a back to back standpoint.
