    That was the second one that came to my mind... right after Mavs... Portland for the actual team matchup... Dallas for all the sub plots..lol
    (Morey and Cuban have done a nice job creating interest in their matchups -lol)

    And of course, Cleveland and OKC (and SA) to see how we stackup against the best..

    and LA - just so I can watch Kobe pissed of as he sits on the bench nursing whatever injury sidelines him next... lol

    Fine. I'll play.

    The four games versus Dallas.

    Games vs Portland.

    Games vs Golden State. Don't know if there is any heat from that rivalry still.

    Games vs San Antonio because that's a measuring stick game. And we swept the champs last season.

    Games vs OKC because they're the other team to look out for. The Harden vs his old team thing.


    and Cavs just cause Lebron.

    Dallas' first visit to Houston - taken the day off work.

    All Lakers matchups.

    New Orleans matchups just to see Asik vs Howard, since Asik is going to take it personal.

    Portland, it's a strange feeling. Although they just knocked us out of the Playoffs I'm not too worried about them. I think that loss was ultimately the best thing for this team, to light a fire and awaken them.

    I'm pumped for game 1. I want to see Dwight put up 40 and make fakers nation feel like **** when kobe is taken out midway through the third when it's already garbage time.

    Great list. Add OKC for obvious reasons. I will also add the Griz and the Kings as I recall we could NOT beat them unless a key player was lost......ie...Cousins.

    Oh, and the Knicks as we must rip Melo a new one! You have the heat (bosh) and cavs ('bron).

    Clippers, OKC are the main one I want to see how we stack up versus them.
