Oh My God it's the Trail Blazers' 2011-2012 Schedule! Rejoice!

Bruce the dog

Ladies and gentlemen, the NBA season just got real for Blazer fans. While many questions remain about this season (deep breath: Is Raymond Felton the PG of the future? Will Portland get Greg Oden back? Will he actually play? Will Brandon Roy be healthy? Will Nic Batum look less boyish? Is the short season good or bad for Portland? What is up with Paul Allen lately? Are beers at the Rose Garden still $7?), we at least now know that there will be a season. And now we have the dates to plan our winter (and spring, and summer) around. Thank you, basketball gods.

Below is the season schedule, complete with funky formatting (what, you thought I was going to re-type it all? I love basketball, but the league ain't paying me!). It's a breakneck affair with plenty of back-to-back games, I had planned on being out-of-town between Christmas and New Year's Eve. With three games in four days just after Christmas, I may have to think that over.

You want more? Blazersedge has already done some nice number-crunching.
