Western teams we play 3 times: Clippers (1 Home / 2 Away) Lakers (2 Home / 1 Away) Spurs (1 Home / 2 Away) Grizzlies (2 Home / 1 Away)
My 47 prediction seems right on track. That start is nuts, but we should make some good runs in December and March. Trade deadline on Feb 6 should be interesting. I counted 10 back to back sets.
And I'll bet the Clippers will be resting all their studs on our last game (home) of the season vs them. Sucks for our home fans, probably wont get to see the Kawhi and PG show.
I think those first 20 games or so will be the difference-maker in us winning either 45 games, or 55.
I love getting Denver at home on opening night. We don't lose home openers. I also like going on a road trip right after that. It will help with team cohesion. Philly at home is tough but the Moda Center will be rocking for just the 2nd game there.
I saw on twitter that the Blazers are 4th in miles traveled this year. Is that possibly true? It could be a game changer if it is.
