Why Do the Trail Blazers Keep Drawing a Tough NBA Schedule?

Yesterday the NBA released the Portland Trail Blazers schedule. As with every year, parts of it are prettier than others. Judging by the reaction in the Blazer’s Edge Mailbag, though, the league scheduling office might as well have taken all the hamsters and guinea pigs from Portland’s schoolchildren, barbequed them on a spit, and fed them to Lakers-cap wearing sharks.

Let’s take one of the milder examples as our question for the Mailbag today.

Dave,

What’s with the schedule? We get a brutal start, huge mileage, it’s like the NBA wants us to lose.
