Re: 18 of first 21 games are on the road????
Portland fans just need to buy up all the tickets in other cities for those 18 games. Then it's like 21 home games in the first 21.

I think this rumor is ridiculous! That would never happen!

Re: 18 of first 21 games are on the road????
If there's any grain of truth to this at all (and color me skeptical), I wonder if the person misheard 18 of 21 when the real number is 18 of *31*. That would still be a tough, road-heavy early-season schedule, but not a historically unprecedented, ludicrous one.

Re: 18 of first 21 games are on the road????
This story sounds fishy. The Blazers Edge poster named himself Tezi, as in Tease. It's his first post to that board. He claims that Pritchard is out mouthing off about a league secret to some store clerk, who then repeats it to Tease, I mean Tezi.
I have never heard that the NBA schedule is secretly released to teams days before it is to the public. But if, when the schedule is made public, Tezi is right, then my suspicion will prove unfounded. We'll see.

It's not 18 of 21. I have it on good authority that it is 16 of 24. Not a lot better, but better none the less.

Re: 18 of first 21 games are on the road????
I wish we'd play 41 on the road and then 41 at home.
We'd finish at least 60-21.
I know we'll crush the vastly over-rated Rapers whether we play them at home, Staples, or the streets of Tijuana.

Are you serious? 16 of 24 sucks too.

Re: 18 of first 21 games are on the road????
In my opinion, to make the playoffs, we at least have to win half our road games(21-20) and win 75% of our home games(31-10). That would put us at 52 wins.

Re: 18 of first 21 games are on the road????
I'll take 18 out of 21 on the road if it means a crapload of home games later in the season. Whatever.

Re: 18 of first 21 games are on the road????
According to MB's new blog 16 out of 24 seems like the magic number O_o WOW...

Wednesday morning the NBA schedule will be released. I've seen it, and was even pouring over it with Kevin Pritchard last week. One word describes the first six weeks of the season- brutal. I don't mean kind of difficult, I mean brutal. You'll understand what I mean when you see it, and I'm sure you'll agree. If this team comes through the first 24 games with a record anywhere near .500 it will be remarkable. You think I'm overstating that. Again, you'll see.

Re: 18 of first 21 games are on the road????
I prefer getting all the tough road games out of the way early. That way, we might catch some teams off-guard, or even catch a break with a home-heavy end to the season.
