2011 Schedule Discussion Thread

[TheMatrix31]

Discuss the schedule release here.

Suns have two back-to-back-to-backs and 15 games on TV, not bad at all.

Re: 2011 Schedule Discussion Thread

Good idea Matrix

Team schedules have been released on NBA.com.

Knicks have a bad stretch in February but not too bad overall.

EDIT:
Rat off the bat, the Knicks go out West end of December- GS, LAL, Sac

Just skimmed thru some teams schedules:

LA Lakers have 5 road games in a row in February.

Boston has 8 road games in a row in March.

Miami has 6 road games in a row in February.

Atlanta- 5 straight road games in January; 5 straight road games in February; 6 straight road games in March............DAMNNNNN!!!

Cleveland- 7 straight games in January; 9 straight home games in February

Denver- 9 straight home games in March

Clippers- 6 straight road games in both February & March

Philly- finishes the season on a 5 game road trip

Brandon Roy, Greg Oden & the Blazers- 6 straight road games in January; 7 straight road games in March

Re: 2011 Schedule Discussion Thread

Suns are the only team in the West to not get any of the East's big draws at home. Sucks for revenue purposes.

Re: 2011 Schedule Discussion Thread

Nets schedule isn't too bad. Sucks we only get the Knicks at home once.

-Road heavy early on as we got as 4 of our first 14 are at home.

-No trips to London this year.

-"Toughest" part of our schedule looks like it's between Feb 11 and March 4th(vs. SA, vs. MEM, @ IND, @ CHI, vs. MIL, @ NY, vs ORL, @ DAL, @ BOS, @ CHA, @ MIA)

-We play six teams four times: Atlanta, Charlotte, Cleveland, Indiana, Philadelphia and Toronto.

Not bad at all.

-Lakers play 11 of their first 15 games in Los Angeles

-Start the season with our one back-to-back-to-back. I like it. Will be the freshest (but sloppiest). Only tough team on paper would be the opener vs. Chi.

- Jan 20th @ Orlando

Schedule looks fine lets get playing.

Re: 2011 Schedule Discussion Thread

We got a nice little 9 game road trip starting at Miami and ending in Boston.

Color me surprised.

You didn't get the memo? New CBA guarantees 90% Laker home games to start the first month of the season and a Lakers Xmas blowout loss.

Re: 2011 Schedule Discussion Thread

Before I go on my rant about how BS it is that we can't get ONE Nationally Televised Game but the damn Wizards, Bucks and Bobcats can get one, someone please tell me who determines this? Is it the networks or is it the League?

[OSUFan_88]

Re: 2011 Schedule Discussion Thread

Apparently the #1 pick is not an attraction, as we get 0 nationally televised games.

Oh, and we don't get to play the Lakers or Thunder at home.

That's some BS.

Hahahha. That aint right, Deron should get at least 3 games or so. Wizards deserve games, Bucks and Cats ehhhhh. You guys got robbed

You guys also got robbed.

Every team should be shown at least one freakin time. That is really lame.

@Pflanns Paul Flannery
NBA: We want a league where every team can compete. ABC: We'll take those eight over there.



ABC must be anticipating a Bulls/Lakers Finals. Both of them got 5 games on ABC. The most out of any teams. Last years Finals participants, the Heat only got 4 games. The NBA Champion Mavs? 3.

Re: 2011 Schedule Discussion Thread

Great job by the League to let people know that there are actually more than 6 teams in the league.

Way to go, guys!!
