    According to this report, the Orlando Magic home opener is on 12/26 against the Rockets. That would make it Houston's season opener.

    Usually you have the Rox schedule before anyone else, good catch on the Orlando bit, the strange thing is that both the Rox and Magic may have very different looking rosters by then.

    In before Carl Herrera says something witty!

    If rosters stay as they currently are, that's a tough opener.

    So Dwight gets to play against his old team?

    ;)

    But seriously, I think the league changed it this afternoon.

    BTW, any info anyone has on NBA schedule ... well, league source says it's changed since this afternoon. So, ignore all of it, including me.

    They may have changed it since the report came out.

    Also, in the <a href="http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=211245" title="2011-12 NBA Schedule">2011-12 NBA Schedule thread</a> in the NBA Dish, Rockets34Legend linked to the leaked Phoenix Suns schedule and Phoenix is one of the teams the Rockets will play 4 times.

    HIGHLY doubt they are changing a schedule hours before they're going to announce it. A lot has to go into that so it's not something you shuffle last second.

    Should be four easy wins, I think Nash gets traded, and with Brooks still in China, Suns will be pretty bad.

    HI!! New to the board, but I just wanted to point something out:

    I don't know if anyone has noticed, but in fantasy basketball on ESPN.com, the "Upcoming Schedule" tab already has the schedule, and I think it's correct, but I don't know where they would have gotten their info.

    Well its possible they had two versions out there with various differences. Possibly waiting on a vote or some unknown event somewhere.

    Good thing we'll have Brandon Haywood to match up with Dwight after trading Patrick Patterson and a 1st round pick for him.

    Looks like home opener to be against the Spurs on the 29th.
