Washington Wizard's 2014-2014 Schedule Released

[mohammed10]

Just reviewed our 2014-15 schedule...

The early portion of the schedule seems pretty favorable compared to last year, when we played Miami, OKC, San Antonio and Dallas all on the road, I think we can beat Miami. Orlando is iffy because it's a back-to-back and I think we should beat Milwaukee in the home opener.

Call me a homer, but I can see a 4-1 or a 5-0 start before the game in Toronto.

We do know that the back-to-backs are more evenly distributed this year than last, with just one team (the Pistons) having 22 back-to-backs, and six with 21 (Nuggets, Hawks, Hornets, Spurs, 76ers, and Bucks). The Heat and Lakers each have 16 back-to-backs, and the Magic, Pacers, Mavericks, and Kings have 17. Everyone else is packed in at 18, 19, or 20.

I count 18 back to back for the Wizards.

I was thinking the complete opposite. I only see 2 comfortable wins in the first 10 games: Milwaukee and Detroit at home. Miami and Orlando on the road aren't gimme's and the @NY, Ind, @Tor, @Ind is a rather brutal 4 games in 5 nights.

The good news is 10 national games, including a Christmas matchup. Friday Feb 20. against Cleveland on ESPN is going to be one of the best Wizards games in a while. Dobro and other season ticket holders... that's a doozy of a dilemma between your heart and your wallet.

To finish my post off with more bad news? 5 of the 6 final games are on the road, and all are playoff teams except for Philly. I don't anticipate BKN to be in the playoff race this year (replaced by the Knicks maybe?) but it's still a nailbiting way to end the season with seeding implications on the line.

I guess also see Detroit as a potentiallly tough game simply based upon that they did beat the Wizards a couple times last year and Stan Van Gundy should be a big upgrade in the coaching department.
