NBA Schedule Release Day: August 6th

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

 

How many ESPN/ABC or TNT games do you guys think we will get?

Who's going to set the over/under?

 

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).

 

You're a good man.

I'll take the over.

 

Usually they like to screw the Rockets, but I'll take the over! *crosses fingers*

 

I hope we get a Christmas game on ABC. Rockets vs Bulls Christmas rematch!

 

We got Dwight now. We'll get more national attention.

 

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

 

i keep thinking 20, is that too crazy?

 

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.

 

^perfect actually...league must kiss flaker fans butt though.

 

So is tomorrow the big release day?

 

Under. I see us getting 13 -- maybe 13.4

 

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?
