That was one of my takeaways from Thursday when the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blazersedge.com\/trail-blazers-news\/115146\/portland-trail-blazers-2026-27-nba-schedule-release-news-damian-lillard\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NBA released the 2026-27 regular-season schedule<\/a> for the Trail Blazers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Portland\u2019s 15 November games include two matchups against the Oklahoma City Thunder, two matchups against the San Antonio Spurs, two matchups against the Minnesota Timberwolves, as well as games against the New York Knicks, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers, and Phoenix Suns, Portland\u2019s Play-In rival from last season. That strength of schedule is boosted by a six-game road trip from Nov. 13-23, tied for Portland\u2019s longest trip of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The November slate features 11 playoff teams from last season, including the reigning NBA champions, the reigning Western Conference champs and the 2025 NBA champs. It\u2019s also high on star power, featuring names like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama, Jalen Brunson, Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Anthony Edwards, LeBron James, Tyrese Maxey, Devin Booker, Stephen Curry and more. The high-profile teams and names in quick succession will present a strong, early test for this new-look Blazers team and rookie head coach Micah Nori.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">So, with all that laid out, today\u2019s offseason discussion question asks you to call your shot: How many games will the Blazers win in November? Also, how many wins would be considered a big success? And how many wins would be considered an outright failure?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Here\u2019s the full November slate to mull over (all start times are Pacific). Go down the line and mark win\/loss for all 15!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Monday, Nov. 2 @ Denver | 6 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Wednesday, Nov. 4 @Phoenix | 6 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Friday, Nov. 6 @ LA Lakers | 7 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Saturday, Nov. 7 vs. San Antonio | 7 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Tuesday, Nov. 10 vs. Oklahoma City| 8 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Wednesday, Nov. 11 vs. Oklahoma City | 7 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Friday, Nov. 13 @ Sacramento | 7 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Monday, Nov. 16 @ Minnesota | 5 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Tuesday, Nov. 17 @ Minnesota | 5 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Thursday, Nov. 19 @ Milwaukee | 5 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Saturday, Nov. 21 @ New York | 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Monday, Nov. 23 @ Philadelphia | 4 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Wednesday, Nov. 25 vs. San Antonio | 7 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Friday, Nov. 27 vs. Golden State | 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Sunday, Nov. 29 vs. New Orleans | 3 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Portland Trail Blazers\u2019 slate of games this November may just be the Seventh Circle of Hell.
