We will find ourselves extraordinarily busy for the next month. In the course of the 30 days of November, we will play 17 games.
We will play 8 games at home in Philips, and 8 more games on the road (we already beat Charlotte Sunday) -- including trips to Western Conference cities Minneapolis, New Orleans, Memphis and San Antonio.
The NBA took steps to reduce the number of back-to-back games as well as the number of times that teams face a schedule of four games in five nights. No team plays the 4-in-5 gauntlet more than twice this season.
