		<description>February appears to be the &quot;easiest&quot; 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&#039;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 &quot;winning it all&quot;, but the schedule-makers added another dimension of difficulty for the Wiz.</description>

		<description>That is a nice schedule this year.  The Wizards don&#039;t seem to like matinee games and we only have one game at 1 pm.  There aren&#039;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.</description>
