My top 5 must see pie games
1 MIL - Jennings and Rubio finally play head to head in the NBA
2 CLE - Williams versus Irving. And of course these are two teams loaded with ROY candidates
4 DAL - Oh come on, I had to put this here.
3 BOS - Get over that hump
5 PHX - Nash V Rubio. Too bad both guys are too nice to it really exciting.

Also noteworthy
HOU - Kevin McHale DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
TOR - Dwane Casey is the new HC there. NBA teams sure love our fired coaches

I want us to beat the Heat in Miami along with a +30 pt night from Beasley.

Also, would like to see Rubio & AR go off at MSG.

Any idea when we will know how many games FSN is picking up?

They are probably waiting for the middle school hockey schedule to come out before they commit to anything.

Or for the Twins to finish up most of their year to determine how many re-runs we need to see.

One national game
Nov. 25 Friday at home vs. Houston. I wonder if this was just to show how we gave McHale a raw deal? The day after Thanksgiving is nice though, as I should be able to watch from home.
three NBATV games: phx, bos, and Portland.

Our March is going to be BRUTAL! We end our only 5 game home-stand (and only home-stand greater than 3) vs. MIA, and then follow that with a 5 game road trip (of which we have another in Nove/Dec)...

March Tue. 13 vs. MIA
March Thu. 15 @ UTH
March Fri. 16 @ Lakers
March Sun. 18 @ Sac
March Mon. 19 @ GS
March Fri. 23 @ SA
March Sun. 25 vs. Denver
March Tue. 27 @ MIA
March Wed. 28 @ CHA
March Fri. 30 vs. Boston

Probably not as bad as last year, but still pretty scary. Even though the Lakers are the only truly scary team of the 4 games in 5 nights, that's still a tough road trip that will most likely end in losses due to the severity of the schedule.

At least the back to back is MIA/CHA instead of MIA/ORL.

Now let's see if this is the actual schedule, as this lockout doesn't seem close to ready in resolving itself.

By my count, we again have more back to back sets of games than almost all the other teams. We also have to travel between the games on 20 of the 22 back to back situations. One time we are home for both games and another we only have to play SAC then GSW.

What sucks is that many times we are flying between time zones between games. We don't have a good enough record to get scheduling considerations and we don't share an arena with a hockey team so they can pretty much move our schedule around to fit what other teams need.

As dicussed numerous times, it sure would be nice if we were in a division around the midwest. Less time zone hopping and many less miles to travel every year. Although last year we didn't do that badly on the back end of these situations.
