I wanted to point out a few observations about the schedule.

1. There are no seven game road trips this season. Not even a six game trip. The longest is five, and there are just two of those (December 7-13 and March 15-21)

2. Nine of the Blazers first 12 games are at home.

3. Home for the holidays! Between December 26 and January 10, the Blazers are at home on a seven game home stand. The last road game prior to that is on December 23.

4. December and March are brutal. Each month contains 16 games and in each month, 10 of those are on the road.

5. There is some great national TV exposure in late February-early March. Over a span of seven games between February 25 and March 11, five of those games are scheduled to be televised on either ESPN or TNT.

6. No game on my birthday.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. What are your thoughts regarding this schedule?

The Blazers have a 9 day break around the All-Star weekend. That seems longer than usual!? They must start the season well with all those home games in the opening weeks.

I think the league extended the break by a day or two for every team. Starting well is a must. Fortunately, most of the chemistry is already there. Some of those other teams will be getting used to playing with their new guys.

The extended break will guys some guys a few extra days rest which is great. I like the teams chemistry at the minute so we should be just fine.

We do not play on my birthday either. The first thing I noticed was all the home games in November, then all the road games in December and March. I really do not get caught up in the schedule much since we kind of already know basically what's going to be involved. I am glad we do not have any of those six or seven game road trips.

1. Thanks Julie!

2. No bday game for me either.

3. And yes, the players had requested a longer AS break, so all teams get 9 days off.

4. Tough first week for us, with OKC on opening night and LeBron coming into town, though I think Casey was saying that maybe their chemistry won't be together, so maybe we will be able to take it to them.

No game on my birthday either. The schedule looks really rough to me but I guess like Angi said, we knew we were going to play the schedule we have to play. I am looking forward to the season.

You are welcome Anees, and thinks for stopping by! There are always rough stretches and not so rough stretches. It seems to me that the schedule probably looks a little rough since the Western Conference is so formidable. As they say, this is why they play the games!

i just want to say thanks to Julie for being on this, even with the TV additions as well. i checked out the schedule en route east. there are tough opponents, but this is exactly what we knew would happen. i seem to be the only one here who has a game on their birthday, a home game against Oklahoma City. we'd better win that one!

[newellbrian]

Finally a game on my birthday, and it's at home! I'm definitely getting tickets for it!

[DiamondThief]

Nice, Brian. A win would be a great birthday present!

[Yeseeka]

So now it looks like there is a game on my birthday. Beat New York!
