This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

They play both those teams in 2025. by rockmcd
Linked is a schedule that goes out through 2037. They wind up playing Miami in back to back years in 2024-2025, just as we did near the beginning of the arrangement in 2016-2017.
I haven't added it all up so I could be wrong, but I presume that the # of games pretty much evens out over time and that no preferences were built into the sequence. My hunch is that you're giving the schedule makers more credit than they deserve by suggesting they put that much thought into it.
