Blazers opponents on the second of back to backs

I thought this was pretty interesting, hope you enjoy it.

These teams will be playing their fourth game in five nights against us:
1/11 BOS (they play @GSW on 1/10, @LAC on 1/8, @DEN on 1/7)
2/8 @MIN (they play @NOP, @OKC, LAL)
3/27 @ATL (they play @MIN, PHX, @TOR)

These teams will be playing us on the second of a back to back and three games in four days:
12/28 MIA (they play @SAC 12/27, @LAL 12/25)
1/2 CHA (they play @LAC, @UTH)
1/15 CLE (they play @LAL, @SAC)
1/18 @DAL (they play @PHX, @LAC)
2/1 TOR (they play @DEN, ORL)
4/9 SAC (they play OKC, DAL)

These teams will be playing us on the second of a back to back but with two or more days of prior rest:
12/26 LAC (they play @GSW the night prior)
1/25 MIN (they play @GSW)
2/19 SAS (they play @LAC)
2/23 MIN (they play @UTH)
3/12 @SAS (they play @CHI)
4/16 LAC (they play DEN)

For the 1/18, 2/8, and 3/12 games both us and our opponents will be on a back to back. So there will be 12 games where we have a day or more of rest and our opponent is on a back to back. There will be 8 games we play a back to back against a team with a day or more of rest.

 

I think Tpup said we where 7-5 against .500 teams. If minny loses to the lakers and detroit wins, we just took off one loss and added 3 wins.

So we would be 10-4 against .500 teams. See how silly that stat is?

 

I wonder if that stat is only relevant to when you played that team at that time. Because, essentially, we will play Minny again, and they could be under .500, and we beat them, then we beat them as both a .500 and non .500 team?

 

I think the only time that stat matters is at the end of the season.

 

The teams we've beaten would have a better record if they hadnt played us. Stupid stat.

 

Schedule matter. Let's hope the team can take advantage of them. I haven't looked yet, but am always more interested when Portland plays a back-to-back, whether or not the other team is on a back-2-back as well.
