I'd probably pick these games right here

Oct 29 - Houston
Nov 24 - Cleveland
Dec 31 - Denver
Feb 24 - OKC
Feb 25 - Spurs

I removed the Lakers to put Cleveland there to give the East some love. I don't actually care about seeing the Lakers play, I've seen Lebron play many times over the years, but I've never had a chance to see Luka.

Less games against the West, means you only have one chance to see guys like SGA, Jokic, and Wemby.

To attend in person? I dno. With dynamic pricing and seat price increases, I don't know if the "popular" games are really worth it.
Teams I'd be interested in seeing if someone else is paying:
OKC - Reigning champs and SGA - but the game is probably going to be bad cuz they're in a much higher tier than we are.
SAS - Wemby might be the #1 attraction in the league now.
GS - Curry is almost always an entertaining watch.
IND - Siakam returning is always fun, and they will play with a high pace which should be entertaining.
DEN - Jokic is just incredible to watch.
Honourable mentions: DAL - They've got an interesting team (if healthy), and it would be nice to check out Flagg in person. And SAC because Derozan returns are always fun too.

If I had to pay for tickets, I'd probably want to see a more competitive game though, so teams in our tier, esp in the East for playoff seeding purposes, would be teams I'd like to see us play. ATL, IND, MIL, 76ers, Heat, Bulls. Maybe not the Heat cuz they're boring to watch lol.

And of course, I'd go mid-week so tickets are cheaper.

Definitely going to an NY game, Kat was little too spicy for me last year, and OG can get heckles too
