The Nets schedule is out and it’s like a lot of recent schedules. It starts on the road, in Detroit City. It has only one national TV game —one more than last season. And it has one long road trip ... at an inopportune time.
The bottom line is that the Nets had better make hay early, particularly in December, or things could get ugly late.
Between November 23 and December 26, the Nets play 17 games. Of those 17, only two will require them to get on an airplane, once to Washington, DC, on December 1, the other to Chicago on December 18.
