Ok, I’ve checked the schedule, and it looks like there’s a good chance we could win them all!

I like how basically all of our games vs CLE are on national TV….Jay-z vs. Soulja Boi saga continues!

Wow! I agree everyone. Looks like a clean sweep on our end! I think that 95-96 Bulls record will come to an end!

Looks like Santa is going to be bringing the Cavs some coal this year.

That is a nice schedule this year. The Wizards don’t seem to like matinee games and we only have one game at 1 pm. There aren’t that many late starts either. Most seem to be between 7 and 8:30. Four games is our longest road trip.

I guess the media expects it to come down to a fight between the Cavs and us. Both games at the end of the season are no national tv. Pretty cool.

February appears to be the “easiest” month for the Wiz to win a higher percentage of their games because of 2 factors:

1. More home games than away games
2. Wiz playing more teams with mediocre records (based on last year’s stats)

April appears to be brutal, but these games may be good tune-up contests as the team heads toward the playoffs.

There are 18 back-to-back games for the Wiz, which is down from 21 last season (if my memory serves). However, there are 4 stretches where the Wiz will have 4 games in 5 nights – which is more than in the past (usually 2 of these streches):

Nov 18 – Nov 22
Dec 2 – Dec 6
Jan 6 – Jan 10
Mar 17 – Mar 21

I wish I can be as optimistic as some about “winning it all”, but the schedule-makers added another dimension of difficulty for the Wiz.
