Which team or matchup would you like to see on opening night of 08-09 season (October 30, 2008)?

Mine would be : LA Lakers vs. Boston (TNT)

San Antonio vs. Houston (homer pick) (TNT)

There are plenty more that I would want to watch but there's only two to pick so I pick those two.

I would love watching Blazers - Celtics.
Oden's and Bayless' first game with that young team, facing the champions.
But a finals rematch wouldn't be bad either

Blazers @ Jazz

lol What if Oden gets injured again in August or September like he did last year?

Celtics vs Knicks. I'd want to guarantee a win for opening night.

Hey if they put it on TnT teh Celts can get the margin to 50 points like last year.

toronto vs. celtics.

if we lose, not much disappointment
if we win,

I hope Lakers and Blazers play on Christmas

What do you mean? Oklahoma's first game of the season is on Oct. 29.. ALSO, it's a Triple header to open the NBA season

I guess this means that it will be Boston vs *Some Team* and OKC vs *Some Team*, and *Some team* VS *Some Team*? Weird that they'd put OKC on opening night (unless for some reason the NBA is starting early for)

He didn't get injured in "August or September." He was hurt even before Summer League

Sacramento vs New Jersey

I bet it will be
1) Celtics vs Pistons or 76ers
2) OKC vs Blazers
3) Lakers vs Rockets

Houston vs the Lakers and Bulls vs Heat

Well I guess I'll list the ones I want on Opening night:

1. Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat
2. OKC vs. Rockets? (this one is required only if Oct.29 is opening night)
3. Lakers vs. Blazers

Or possibly OKC and blazers, just so we get a free win to start the season off well

Then they change the tv schedule... like they did last year and like they'd do if any franchise player on a team went down for the season.

I want to see Chicago vs. Portland for me. Number one pick vs. number one pick.

Lakers/Blazers is pretty much guaranteed, according to a trusted insider on a Lakers' forum.

Rockets @ Lakers with Shane Battier killing them in the final seconds.

Pistons/6ers @ Boston
Houston @ San Antonio
Phoenix @ Los Angeles

that way they save the first BOS/LA for the big-money Christmas slot

Now that I think about it, it will probably be

Bulls @ Boston (Up and coming team with #1 pick going against Champs seems like the normal choice)
Hornets @ OKC (Since they both played there)
Blazers @ Lakers (Since apparently theres a rumor that it'll happen)

It would fit the time slots of the triple header well.

Jazz/Rockets would be great.
