I hadn't seen anything else posted regarding our schedule, so here it is.

Quickly glancing at it it looks like our two most challenging months will be December and January. We also have three games in four night to start the season off but get four days rest afterwards.

Yeah, I also noticed that 3-in-4 opening stretch. And yet another season opener on the road? What's up with that?

The biggest thing that jumps out at me is a potentially brutal 4-game mid-Dec trip out West for NOP/DAL/MEM/SAN. Other than that one stretch, nothing else really seems to be really uneven IMO.

Yeah we have three tough games before that four game swing as well with games against DAL, @MIA, and HOU. Brutal seven game stretch.

Looks like WAS has a pretty average schedule in terms of back-to-backs:

Is Dallas at home that tough a game? I have them around ~45 wins, they won't sniff the playoffs.

Oh and they just signed Javale :lol:

You may have a point there, I'm thinking of years past.

Two games against GS on National tv. ESPN And TNT, SMH. They are going to embarrass us both times.

BTW NBA TV is not National TV in my opinion. Most people can't find it on their cable channels or don't care for it.

If he is healthy (Javale) he will probably look better than he has ever been in D.C. and at Denver. No nonsense BS in Dallas.

Dude has talent just need an once of BB IQ. Maybe Rick Carisle can get it out of him. Must watch though IMO.

Just baffled that Some teams who aren't even half as good as the Wizards get more national TV time than them.

First 30 games is going to be a challenge. If this team is 15-15, then they can make a run in the last 52.

But if they are well below .500, let's get the 8th/7th seed expectations ready.

82-0

ESPN has us ending up in pretty much the same spot as last year:
