Clippers. I didn't mention the Miami at LA game because at the time it was a given. That's the middle game and second game on ABC. Tuesday. Can't wait
I think it is going to be Rockets @ Spurs on Christmas....was hoping we would get Warriors but oh well
Guys...maybe we aren't getting a Christmas day game. Maybe they don't want us competing with the Lakers shine.
25 is the max(not including NBATV). I'll say o/u at 13.5? Last year, Knicks, Heat, Thunder all got the 25 game max. After them, it was the Lakers(24), Celtics(19), Bulls(19), Spurs(16), Clippers (13).
Rockets had six last year I believe*, so they should definitely double it and then some. I too, will take the over. *Not including games added to ESPN later in the year
It is just mindboggling how the Lakers, who figure to be sitting at around the 9th-11th seed, gets a Christmas game with the defending champs. I mean, seriously? This should've been the Christmas game schedule; tell me if you disagree. New York Knicks @ Brooklyn Nets Indiana Pacers @ Chicago Bulls San Antonio Spurs @ Miami Heat Houston Rockets @ Oklahoma City Thunder Golden State Warriors @ Los Angeles Clippers You cannot tell me that wouldn't be the perfect schedule. Instead, we are already guaranteed a damn blow-out for one of the games.
Lakers are one of the most popular and profitable franchises in the NBA. Lakers on TV is good for the NBA, business wise.
i could see 16-18, and then a few more added if we're consistently a top 4 seed from the outset. so 20 isn't crazy. definitely take the over on 13.5.
Over. Rockets use to get 12-15 in the YaoMac era, so I can easily see 17 starting off the season, with it going up to 23-25 if the Rockets stay in the top four in the WC.
I care more about how many back to back games the Rockets will get. Last year they recorded the most back to back games of any team in 12-13. Not exactly good for a young budding team.
I know the NBATv special is coming on tomorrow at 6 EST... will the schedule go up on NBA.com at the same time?
