Heat Likely To Begin Season Against Bulls; Christmas Day At Lakers 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Jul 24, 2013 10:42 pm

The Miami Heat are expected to open the season on October 29 at home against the Chicago Bulls.


The NBA always begins the season with the defending champions.


The Heat currently are scheduled to play at the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Day.

Opening Day:

Nets @ Celtics
Rockets @ Thunder
Clippers @ Spurs
Heat @ Bulls

Christmas Day:

Rockets @ Lakers
Nets @ Knicks
Bulls @ Pacers
Heat @ Spurs/Thunder
Clippers @ Warriors


Who is beating that schedule? Noone. 8-)
Peja, Iverson, CP3, T-Mac, Starks, Artest. Will never get over how the 01-02 Kings got cheated by the refs.

Heat/Lakers for Christmas? WTF?

Christmas was always reserved for some of the best matchups of the year. They don't always turn out that way, but that always seemed to be the goal. This game is going to be a bloodbath.

Hopefully it's the early game.

lol if they are banking on that being Kobe's return. Still not a goo matchup though.

Oh sure, might as well make it Dzhokhar bobblehead night too and give everybody packs of salt to rub in the open wound where the Celtic pride used to be.

Seriously, too soon, man. And honestly, the Celtics are most likely not an elite team this year so they don't deserve to play on opening night anyway. Indy should get one of the spots but it'd be so typical of the league to ignore them.

Everyone plays opening night. Its not like the NFL where opening night is for only the top tier teams....and by opening night I mean the day where there are like 12 games played. Not the very first game.

Heat Lakers Christmas Day? Makes no sense. Houston/LAL makes more sense.

Spurs vs. Heat should be the Christmas Day game.

I understand the league likes to have a marquee matchup the first day, but I would hate to see the outcome of that opening game be chalked up to 'not being in season-mode yet' or 'the bulls not having total team chemistry.' Reserve these games for a Thursday night on TNT later in the season when everyone is at full strength.
