The flight distances of each team are released in the regular season. The Clippers are the fourth Warriors in the Lakers in the top ten, and the East is being taken care of?

In fact, before the regular season starts every year, the media will conduct statistics to calculate the difficulty of each team's schedule. Fans didn't understand it at first, thinking that it was all 82 games, so there should be no difference. But after careful understanding, it is not difficult to find that some opponents play more or less once, which is a huge difference, not to mention the number of back-to-back and continuous away flights, which can also have a great impact.

Now, media has conducted statistics. The flight distances of each team have been released in the regular season, among which the Clippers rank fourth, and the Warriors and the Lakers also entered the top ten. The Eastern teams are taken care of by the league again. Although the Magic ranks first, the 10 teams with the shortest flight distance are all from the Eastern Conference, which allows them to rest more without having to work so hard to run back and forth.

The West is more painful. The Mavericks and the Trail Blazers are second only to the Magic and are the team with the longest flight distance. The Clippers are not much better, with a total flight distance of 48,808 miles, ranking fourth in the entire league. And one thing that cannot be ignored is that the Clippers' lineup is older, and the recovery time of the close schedule is slower. As a result, no matter the number of back-to-back times or flight distance, even if the Clippers are not the most difficult, they are ranked relatively high. No wonder Clippers fans complain, and basically every year, the Clippers' schedule is relatively hard.

are followed by the Grizzlies and the Warriors. The two teams are also not easy. The Grizzlies are suffering from injuries, and their record has declined for two consecutive years due to this problem. Even in the new season, two inside players, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Zach Eddie, may miss the opening stage. The Warriors are more similar to the Clippers, with three core members Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, each entering the end of their careers. The severe schedule will inevitably increase the risk of fatigue and even injury.

And 7-10 teams, including the Heat, Spurs, Rockets and Lakers, are a little better. Even if the Lakers introduce Doncic, their main lineup framework is actually not too young. James doesn't need to be repeated. He is already the oldest player in the entire league. In addition, the main rotations of these backcourts such as Smart and Vincent are no longer young.

On the contrary, except for the Magic and Heat, the Eastern Conference ranked relatively high, and other teams were very comfortable, such as the Knicks, Hawks, Wizards, Raptors, Cavaliers, Bucks, Bulls, 76ers, Hornets and Pacers, all ranked in the bottom ten. But there is almost half of it, and next season they will be a bad team. No wonder many fans complain that this schedule is simply giving benefits to the reconstruction team.
