The Portland Trail Blazers have been handed their schedule for the 2021-2022 season. It’s a bit of a doozy, as broken down and explained by SportsIllustrated. The NBA as a whole does a pretty decent job of putting together fair schedules for its 30 teams, but it’s impossible to make everybody happy.
The Blazers seem to get the short end of the stick more often than not. Portland is stuck with 14 back-to-backs next year, tied for second-most in the league.
