It should have been Miami vs San Antonio and LA vs Houston on Christmas but we all know the Lakers vs Heat will be a ratings winner for the NBA especially if Kobe is playing. But overall the schedule on Christmas looks pretty decent.

:heh:

The NBA purposely scheduled 3 Bulls/Heat games after the All-Star break last year trying to make sure the League saw Rose and the Bulls take on Miami. Now that Rose was like fukk everybody and sat the whole year, they making sure his ass seeing MIA ASAP

:deadrose:

I know they'll (likely) be basura this year, but it'll still feel kinda weird not having the C's in the opening night/Christmas day lineup.

5. Which team would you like to see on fewer national broadcasts?


Arnovitz: The Lakers are compelling whether it's a parade or a train wreck. But I wonder how many nights this winter we're going to settle in for a Lakers game that, once we work through the storylines, features a lot of mid-range opportunities in early offense for Chris Kaman. The Lakers didn't ask for the dates, but we might be better off redistributing a few of their 25 national broadcasts.



Herbert: Los Angeles Lakers. Despite Kobe Bryant's achilles and Dwight Howard's departure, they will appear on 25 national broadcasts, the same amount as the Heat and Knicks. It's understandable because they're the Lakers, but their flabby and sick play on the court likely won't come close to the national exposure they'll receive.


Pina: Los Angeles Lakers. Twenty five games of 39 (then 40)-year-old Steve Nash, a hobbled Kobe Bryant, Chris Kaman and Nick Young? No thanks!


Strauss: The Lakers, and I don't think I'm alone. Since I take no joy from their demise, I'm disenchanted with 25 games of nationally televised Laker mediocrity.


Sunnergren: The Brooklyn Nets. The Nets are, in theory, a fascinating group. All those stars! Jason Kidd and their Russian owner! In practice they're going to be an old, slow, coolly efficient unit. Competent, but not spectacular. This isn't to say they won't be good -- they should be -- only that I'm about as excited for the 2013-14 Brooklyn Nets as I was for Red 2, and for roughly the same reasons.

y'all don't want to watch the Lakers and D'Antoni's fukkery being at an all time high this season?

Opening nights are for minor league franchises...

We only concern ourselves with Closing Nights..
