That's pretty awesome. The crowd should be incredible.

And a new streak begins for opening on the road.

We've made a mess of our home openers losing to **** teams so at least if we lose this it's against Lebron. Bit easier to take.

I love the fact the season starts on October 17th.

Really glad I got my dad the Father's Day package this year, should hopefully be an amazing game to be at.

Kyrie will get to face his old team in our home opener. 8-)

Anyone want to take a guess at how many national TV games we get?

Same. Happy there are more Saturday and Sunday games, too.

No Bucks on Christmas:
76ers at Knicks
Cavs at Warriors
Wiz at Celtics
Rockets at Thunder
Wolves at Lakers

It was a long shot, but I was hoping.

Thinking like 18 total, 10 non-NBATV ones. Around where Minny/Indiana were last year.

Yeah, also we should take over a bulk of the games that Indy and even Chicago normally get. Losing Butler and PG-13 will really hurt their national coverage, as well as if Bulls and Wade come to a buy out agreement. If we do better as the season goes on could see ESPN, TNT flex more games our way.

Ya even if the initial number isn't great I wouldn't be mad. Giannis puts up an insane 26/10/7 first month or something and they're adding games real quick.

Really good point there.

That is a great Christmas schedule. If the Bucks exceed expectations, they'll have a Christmas game next year.

Think they jumped the gun on the Sixers and I wouldn't have the Knicks on the biggest day of the regular season. Hard to believe they couldn't find a way to have Kawhi on there.

Sixers and Knicks lol

The Spurs deserved a Christmas game but the issue is you would need another team who can play a competitive matchup with them. In my opinion, New York should always play on Christmas (20.2 million people).
