Cleveland shouldn't be too hard. They've never appeared to be invincible to me. We also have Denver twice in November, so that should be interesting. Overall, November can be a tough month facing Boston, Phoenix, Denver, Orlando, Golden State, Utah, Chicago, and Detroit. I think we'll be up for the challenge though. 3 nationally televised games against Portland (should be a good one), Boston, and Miami.
