What do you guys think?

There's a couple tough road trips. This one caught my eye...

Thanks. I think we come out of Oct & Nov with a .700 winning percentage. I can't wait.

always tough to tell anything from an NBA schedule... the first part of our schedule isnt too bad. I think i counted 10 non-playoff teams in our first 16 games, and then 9 of our first 14 are home. hopefully we will get out and be above .500 early, otherwise it will be an uphill battle.

I know I will be at both the Dec 12th and April 14th Pacer games when we play the Wiz, ha. (I go to school in DC right now), but unfortunately not sure if I will be able to afford anything else.

I hate the NBA. Why do we only get 1 national televised game? I can only watch when we play the CAvs and the last game now. We deserve more than that. All the other teams get more than we do

Rockets, who took the champs to 7 games in the Western conference semi-finals last season don't get a single national TV appearance. New Jersey, Sacramento, Milwaukee and Charlotte have 0 nat. appearances too. I know it sucks, but it is purely business

I didnt know all those teams dont get any too. I'm surprised with Houston.

I bet they change that last game. It'll be a game to determine like the 4 and 5 seeds and the Pacers will already have the 1 seed (or the 7) and the game won't matter. I haven't looked at the Pacers full schedule though, I need to. I saw the All-Star game is on Valentine's Day. Ooooh noooooo, what am I going to do?

^^Watch the All-Star Game by yourself.

Great. I can only attend two out of the 82 games this season, and the only nationally televised game is a game I'll be at anyway. What are the chances? Thank you David Stern.
