Though the Miami Heat still have some roster work to do before they can actually call themselves ready to begin the year, the NBA, themselves, are beginning their ramp up to tipping things off. A huge part of that every year is the release of the schedule for the coming season.
With a few games that tend to trickle out days before the entire schedule is released, the whole thing was dropped on Wednesday.

Back to backs by team

12: CHA, CLE, TOR, DEN, LAL, MEM, NO, NY, PHX.
13: ATL, BOS, DAL, DET, HOU, MIL, OKC, ORL, PHI.
14: MIA, MIN, BRK, IND, POR, SA, WAS.
15: CHI, GS, LAC, SAC, UTAH.
Being among a group of 12 teams in the league that have 14 or more back-to-backs, it could be worse—perhaps? At least they don’t have the 15 that Chicago, the Los Angeles Clippers, Sacramento, Utah, and the world champion Golden State Warriors have.

Let’s talk about it.
