Reason nobody has talked about it is because unlike the NFL, the NBA has every team play all the other teams.  The NFL schedule could be any team outside the 6 divisional games.  Only dates are different in the NBA scheduling, but I agree with your post.  They also have 2 fewer back to backs this season, which is always good.

Not necessarily... Every NFL team knows who they are playing next season at the conclusion of the previous season. We rotate playing the AFC divisions every 4 years. We play each team in the NFC South twice. We rotate the other 3 NFC divisions every 3 years. And we play the team from the other 2 NFC divisions that finished in the same position as us in their division respectfully. So technically, we already know 14 of our games for 2018-2019. The only questions with NFL scheduling is whether the games are Home/Away and when the Bye week lands.

That is very true.  Still, whether a game is home or away makes a big difference.  NBA is pretty much already set in stone outside of the date.

Early part of our schedule is pretty brutal. November/December in particular. The remaining months seems to be pretty easy - I'll break it down:

OCT: 4-3 - tough games Vs Bucks, Rockets and Grizz 
NOV: 5-8 - 4 game road trip - also games Vs Bucks, Spurs, Wolves x2, Celtics, Cavs x2, Clips, Spurs and Raptors
DEC: 6-10 - tough games Vs OKC, GS x2, Heat x2, Bucks x2, Rockets, Raptors, Celtics and Clips
JAN: 10-4 - there is a West road trip that crosses Dec-Jan but things clear up.. only tough games Vs OKC, Wiz, Heat
FEB: 9-3 - another West road trip but Vs easier opponents: Pho, Den, Port, Utah.. add in the Allstar break and only real tough games Vs Blazers, Raptors, Wiz and Celtics
MAR: 10-5 - winding down with a lot of scrubs to boost our record.. only tough games Vs Raps, Cavs and Wiz
APR: 4-1 - finish it out vs Philly, Bulls, Magic and Pacers x2

---------------

if my estimations are correct or close - we end up with a 48-34 record.. I'll even grade on a curve and drop 3 games for some 'homer picks' and say we have a 45-37 record.. if we can manage the early half of the schedule and end December with a record somewhere close to .500 - we can make a lot of noise in the 2nd half.. very exciting..

      Dan Morgan: Panthers will pickup BY’s 5th year.

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah it is wasted for everyone. Even AT, who he fed, felt like it was wasted. Was done with it.  The resources…  surely as a long term Panthers, he put it on a side track that does not lead anywhere but right back where we were. If we had healthy CBs vs TB in ‘22 we could have gotten into the playoffs with a losing record. We essentially blew all of that time, money and assets to do a 360. 3 fuging years.    Now we are supposed to wait 5 years for him to make mid. Top 15 ranking. I am not sure they would have waited 5 years for Joe Montana. You think Belichick waits 5 years for Brady? Not me. And we are in the era of the cheap slotted salary for drat picks era, where it is supposed to be easier to move on. You have to want to though and you have to be in charge with a clue.  He has had flashes that lasted a whole game, a couple of times. I could stretch that to 4 maybe but I am not even sure of that. Maybe. He has had substantially more flashes that lasted a half or quarter, and all that combined doesn’t stack as high as his weak performances.  It is maddening.

      Well, I guess we know which team showed up.

      Should Canalas bring someone else in to call offensive plays?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how I see it...You can talk to the QB until 15 seconds before the play clock expires.  There are reasons to believe that Canales is spending a lot of time gathering information from those in better position to make the decisions.  Have you noticed how often we break the huddle between 15 and 13 seconds remaining?  I have a theory... 1. Canales is on the sideline.  His view of the field is not as good as the OC, who is sitting in the box in the sky--he can see the defense, spacing, substitutions, etc.  This means that Canales must get information from up top before selecting a play. 2. Canales has to spend time during the week with the defense, special teams, etc. in addition to the offense.  The OC is with the offense all week.  He knows the plays that were run well in practice--he knows the nicks and dings they might be complaining about--he knows their questions and input about certain plays, formations, etc.  Canales may be aware, but not AS aware.  In other words, his hand is not on the pulse as much as the OC.  It is likely that, during the week, the OC is the person answering questions and making decisions.  On Sunday, Canales steps in and makes less informed decisions. 3.  Canales likes the moniker "QB whisperer."  He may feel more confident being the voice in Bryce's helmet because he is Bryce's mentor.  Maybe he has a calming effect and maybe he thinks he can keep Bryce focused.  MAYBE he is not the best play caller, but he calls plays and mentors Bryce.  Maybe that is why he calls plays. Just a theory--but Canales could be the play caller because Bryce is the QB and he is trying to literally whisper into the QB ear.
