    It's NBA schedule release day! Grace and Will live react to the schedule release and are pleasantly surprised. They open and close against the OKC Thunder but draw some favorable opponents in certain stretches. They have dense parts of the schedule playing a lot of games in late Jan, early Feb and then play 5 b2bs in March. Overall though, they have less b2bs, less 1 game homestands, and less overall flights and travel.
