Our first 18 games are either in Portland or California. Several weird cases where we play teams two games in a row in the same city.
 
Finally playing the Lakers and Clippers back to back on the road.....in the same building. About time. (With a day in between)
 
GAMES BY MONTH

December: 4 games (2 home, 2 away)

January: 16 games (10 home, 6 away)

February: 14 games (4 home, 10 away)

March: 3 games (so far) (3 home, 0 away)

BACK-T0-BACKS:

7 (3 home/home, 3 away/away, 1 away/home)

NATIONAL TV GAMES:

5 (3 TNT, 2 ESPN)
 
Doesn't seem much different than any seasons schedule, only three minor games different. @LAC and @GS and hosting MEM. Still have a number of back to backs. Still play a bunch of west teams one at a time.

I think the NBA really screwed up an opportunity to reduce travel and chance of transmission.

The two games in Sacramento should be consecutive. The @NY game should be combined with Brooklyn. Some of these west teams where one game is played should be pushed to the second half, and instead doubled up to two west games against one opponent to eliminate travel. They should have back to backs against the same opponent to reduce or completely eliminate travel needing to be done at night.

Also reducing or eliminating back to back against different opponets lessens the spread. If for instance someone in the PDXvSAC Jan13 game has covid that we learn of a few days later the blazers will have played Sac, Indy the next tight, and Sac will have played an opponent. That is four teams all possibly exposed in these few days instead of two.

Just in terms of the Blazers, I do think its great we have so many home games to start the year. Hopefully we can run up a great record. Later in the year when we have to be on the road our depth should be more of an advantage against opponents who have somebody out.

If you're out of market with family in Portland, just get Youtube TV, but sign up with a Portland address. Includes all local channels + NBA TV if you need it.

My family has all moved out of Portland. Sling has its team pass with NBA tv for $18 per month which isnt bad. I'll most likely do that again as I'll get every game.

My distaste for it is the idea of essentially a state run channel that uses local broadcast teams blacking out regular league pass users because they call it national TV.
 
Sucks that El_Pres can't see those games in LA.
 
so this is the first 37 games locked in

does that mean that the final 35 games won't be scheduled till March?

That stretch at the end of January thru Feb. is brutal. 4 home/12 road. I'm guessing every team's schedule could be monkey-wrenched by Covid

You can also VPN to a Portland IP address and just sign in to your Youtube TV account. Youtube TV just requires you to sign in from your home area address once every 3 months. May be too much trouble to be worth it though.

I hate NBA TV and league pass too. Doubly so since NBA TV doesn't allow you to choose which team's announcer you want to listen to.

That won't go well. Extra days in LA almost always negatively impacts a team's play.

Not at the moment. Everything is closed. Plus it is not as bad/fun as South Beach or NY or even New Orleans

How can you possibly hate the NBA LeaguePass. It’s a gift from Heaven.
 
Not sure how deep your moms basement is, but every game I get is perfect quality. And I have DirecTV, so I get ESPN/TNT. National games I can watch.
