Is there an easier schedule in the league? Seriously! Take a look. They might have the easiest January in the NBA and it doesn't stop there, goes all the way to April when teams will start resting for playoffs. I think they have one little rough stretch in Feb. Perfect example, they play Miami their second to last game. Wether they are good or not, this team is a lock for post season which means that Blazers must finish ahead of at least Jazz and someone else named lakers, grizz, mavs, spurs. Crazy. Next 4 games are Bucks, Wiz, Minny, Knicks! 4-0 easy. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/hou/schedule?view=calendar&season=2012&m=01
