Hard to believe with your extensive knowledge of the current NBA that you went out so early.
BTW what's with the NHL giving the Maple Leafs the Kansas City Chiefs treatment? They get a week off to travel to Sweden and then get to play Detroit on second leg of a back to back. The Leafs were going to lose that game but the Red Wings looked like they were trying to skate in mud in the third period. So, I figure that must be the way it is structured, go to Sweden play 2 nights in a row. No, now the Leafs get a day off today and play the Wild on Sunday who shocker will be coming off a game tonight after travelling to Sweden. What the hell.
Got to cater to the most valuable fan base. I have a friend from Philly who analyzes this stuff like we think about the mempool.

Seems like a good job for AI. Feed it the entire schedule and compute which teams have the best and worst scheduling advantage in terms of days off, opponent days off, travel days, travel out of time zone etc. Would be interesting to see if certain teams get preferred treatment year after year.

I'm pretty sure this is done for NBA and NFL. I don't recall who does it though.
