    Raptors get their rings and face Zion.
    Battle of LA.

    The power of Zion. Got the lottery Pelicans on Opening night and on Christmas Day.

    A little surprising it isn't the Bucks, 76ers, or Rockets getting the spot over NOLA, but it makes sense. NBA will be pushing Zion hard.

    Ooff that’s awful for the Raptors. Clippers will have to prove right away they’re legit.

    Likely next week. NBA teams get a week to review their schedule and suggest tweaks before it is officially released.

    Tuesday actually the national TV opening nights and christmas games, which are already known and then Thursday the full schedule.

    WTF man, just schedule Raptors first game a few days later so they can open at home without TNT, ESPN or whomever. **** national TV anyway!

    Would the Raptors really get their rings at Smoothie King, though? Seems like such a lose-lose for everyone attending.

    Raptors players don't want to have a ceremony in front of the Pelicans fans. And the Pelicans fans don't want to sit through a ring ceremony celebrating someone else's accomplishments.

    There’s easily a way to avoid this, but NBA clearly trying to mess with the Raptors.

    Just realised, switch Clippers with Pelicans and you have much better story lines and makes way more sense:
    - Kawhi gets his ring on the same night
    - Kawhi vs. former team
    - AD vs. former team
    - AD vs. Zion
