Owner Real Deal Posted July 28, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 A little late, but... Oct. 30 is when we'll first see Ray Allen go against his former Boston Celtics teammates, right after his new Miami Heat teammates get their championship rings and hoist the franchise's second banner. That's a lot of emotion right away. Across the country, Steve Nash will make his official debut as a Los Angeles Laker, facing his old buddy Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks, who at this point have about as many players left from their 2011 championship team as they do from when Nash played his last game with them in 2004. The next day, Oct. 31, No. 1 pick Anthony Davis will play his first game with the New Orleans Hornets (against the San Antonio Spurs), plus there's Take 2 of Jeremy Lin, Houston Rocket, on the road against the Detroit Pistons.Nov. 1 brings the beginning of the battle between the boroughs. Get used to all the B's now that Brooklyn is in the house. The New York Knicks cross the East River to play the Nets in their new home, and folks are already getting worked up about the first major pro sports game in Brooklyn since the Dodgers left in 1957. Meanwhile, out west, it's a conference finals rematch between the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs. Even though the Thunder won that series, the Spurs get the honor of playing at home. Nov. 2 features the Clippers and Lakers, and the point guard showdown between Nash and Chris Paul. Fast-forwarding to Dec. 25, the highlight game on Christmas is the NBA Finals rematch of the Oklahoma City Thunder at Miami. But now that we've seen them play in June, the thought of seeing them in December isn't as intriguing. Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics face the Brooklyn Nets, and there's a doubleheader at Staples Center in Los Angeles, where the Knicks play the Lakers and the Denver Nuggets play the Clippers in the nightcap. Also, the Houston Rockets are at the Chicago Bulls in the biggest mystery matchup of the day. If Derrick Rose isn't back from his knee surgery, it will be up to Lin (and the return of Omer Asik!) to generate interest in that game.http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8204189/nba-plenty-highlights-release-2012-13-schedule Here's the full schedule (from ESPN, since NBA.com uses a calendar): http://espn.go.com/nba/schedule I'm hoping to actually fill in our team schedules this season. The lockout messed me up last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
