09-10 D-League Schedule is a mess
Posted: Fri Aug 14, 2009 3:54 am
I don't know if I've ever seen a schedule as scrambled as this year's D-League schedule. Before I say anything about it, take a look at the new set-up:
Eastern Conference
Dakota
Iowa
Sioux Falls
Fort Wayne
Maine
Erie
Springfield
(7 teams)
Western Conference
Austin
Tulsa
Rio Grande
Los Angeles
Reno
Idaho
Utah
Albuquerque
Bakersfield
7 vs. 9?????? WTF!!!
Now, for two random schedules (one from each conference):
Dakota
West Teams
Vs. Albuquerque: 4 (2 Home, 2 Road)
Vs. Austin: 2 (2, 0)
Vs. Bakersfield: 2 (2, 0)
Vs. Los Angeles: 2 (2, 0)
Vs. Reno: 0
Vs. Utah: 3 (2, 1)
Vs. Rio Grande: 4 (2, 2)
Vs. Tulsa: 2 (1, 1)
Vs. Idaho: 4 (2, 2)
East Teams
Vs. Maine: 3 (3, 0)
Vs. Iowa: 7 (2, 5)
Vs. Erie: 4 (0, 4)
Vs. Fort Wayne: 3 (0, 3)
Vs. Sioux Falls: 8 (4, 4)
Vs. Springfield: 0
*Note: 48 games, 2 Showcase games TBD
Rio Grande
West Teams
Vs. Albuquerque: 7 (4 Home, 3 Road)
Vs. Austin: 7 (4, 3)
Vs. Bakersfield: 3 (1, 2)
Vs. Los Angeles: 4 (3, 1)
Vs. Reno: 4 (2, 2)
Vs. Utah: 1 (0, 1)
Vs. Tulsa: 6 (3, 3)
Vs. Idaho: 1 (0, 1)
East Teams
Vs. Dakota: 4 (2, 2)
Vs. Maine: 2 (2, 0)
Vs. Iowa: 2 (0, 2)
Vs. Erie: 2 (0, 2)
Vs. Fort Wayne: 1 (0, 1)
Vs. Sioux Falls: 2 (2, 0)
Vs. Springfield: 2 (1, 1)
*Note: 48 games, 2 Showcase games TBD
I don't know about anyone else, but I fail to see a pattern anywhere. Right now I'm assuming Dakota will have to be playing Reno and Springfield in the Showcase, since they don't currently have any games schedule against them. They play more games against Idaho and Rio in the West than they do against several teams in their own conference. And Rio...well, the schedules speak for themselves. And look at the differences in Home Vs. Road games.... A+ to whoever put this together.
