Episode Details

The Portland Trail Blazers face an immediate and brutal test in their 2026-27 season, starting with 12 of their first 17 games on the road against playoff-caliber teams. Early home matchups include tough foes like the Suns and Grizzlies — even a nostalgic showdown with Ja Morant’s old squad. A grueling six-game road trip follows, packed with back-to-backs against Western Conference powerhouses. With three brutal back-to-backs against last year’s playoff winners, this schedule is built to expose their depth, defense, and resilience — and early success could set the tone for a whole season.
