The New Charlotte Bobcats Schedule is out and available for download
The Cat’s have a few big road trips with two stretches of 5 away games in late January and the end of February.
Next season looks to have another road-heavy schedule after the first half of the season, with 24 of the second 41 games out of Charlotte.
With 19 Back-To-Back games overall, the Sam Vincent excuses aren’t going to cut it. Larry Brown will need to have these guys in shape and you can bet he knows how to manage a roster for the demands of an NBA schedule.
Hype Dates:
• Home Opener : Miami Heat – Saturday, Nov 1
• Hornets Revenge – Nov 7
• Toronto / Denver / Utah / Orlando / Dallas – in the span of 10 days – late November

I couldn't help but notice that you missed the two most important hype dates: December 20th and February 27th. These are the matchups against the Golden State Warriors, the Bobcat's primary rivals. Perhaps these dates were too obvious to list? At any rate, these two melees should be true tests for both franchises as they make their runs towards their predestined championship series. More later…
Very true, we missed those obvious dates.
I'm sure everyone marked those on their calendars, and it was just assumed that proper focus was given to those two important nights.
Let's hope that the national television schedule simply avoided those games to put a greater emphasis on the match up during the NBA Finals broadcasts.
