The NBA released its schedule for the 2013-2014 season earlier this evening. I’m not going to waste too much time and space “breaking it down.” You can see the full Grizzlies schedule here. (I’m using ESPN.com rather than the team’s own site, because the latter doesn’t have the national television info there yet.)
