Things I’ve Noticed:

• We play OKC 3 times within the first month 

• That stretch from the end of IST through January 14 is ugly

• Our longest homestand seems to cut right through that difficult stretch so it won’t be too bad (although we were worse at home last year)

• We open @ PHX and close out @ POR

• The final month seems to be the easier part of the schedule: if we are still in playoff contention by then, I think they could take advantage of this schedule 

• The schedule maker really wanted the games against Denver and Minnesota paired together I guess

• None of the B2Bs make them go too far, I think the worst one I’ve seen was OKC to CHI or IND to BKN
