Default 2011-2012 Schedule Thread

A few days early but it looks like Mavs/Heat will be the Christmas day showcase game.

Quote:
Report: Mavericks vs. Heat rematch set for Christmas Day, you know, if there’s a season

It’s really quaint, actually. The NBA is going to go ahead and release the schedule for the 2011-2012 season this week, acting like it intends to have a season while its owners openly push for missing the whole year just to bury the players completely. It’s kind of cruel in retrospect, though, to tease the fans with all the basketball they’re going to be missing while this bull-headed lockout continues.

But hey, if we do get a season by Christmas, we get a good one for the big Holiday game.

The Miami Herald reports that one Christmas Day game will be Mavericks-Heat, “likely at 2:30 p.m. EST.”

It’s an interesting choice, as traditionally the league opts for the two biggest pulls, like last year’s Heat-Lakers tilt. But with the Lakers falling off the cliff in the second round, even with their likely championship contending roster, and the Mavericks winning the title in a fairly epic Finals series that saw four of the six games come down to the last possessions, Mavs-Heat edged out the Lakers. Apparently it’s the Phil Jackson effect.

The interesting question will be who the Lakers, Bulls, and Celtics face. Odds are pretty good that it’ll be Lakers-Thunder, with Bulls-Celtics as the other day tilt. Then the Knicks will have to fit in somewhere, though last year’s Knicks-Bulls game was pretty entertaining. It’s a coin flip whether the Magic will make the cut to be on that day. And for the night game, traditionally between two smaller market franchises, what about a Grizzlies-Spurs rematch? Nothing says Christmas like Tony Parker vs. Mike Conley.

All of this talk gets you excited about the season. Too bad the owners are making it nearly impossible for talks to move forward, meaning it’s likely we’ll never get to see these games.

The way the lockout looks, we'll be lucky if this game is the season opener...

The Mavs may give queenie a 4th qtr Christmas gift. Let him score 5 or 6 so he won't cry anymore.

I'm thinking a lot of "got change for a dollar signs at the arena!".

I'm highly disappointed that this lockout happened when my favorite team finally won a championship...

NBA schedule indeed gets released Tuesday afternoon. Opening Night, IF lockout ends in time, is Nov. 1: Bulls at Mavs on that night's slate
Looks like the Mavs would get a lot of marquee national TV matchups if this season happens...

Keep dreaming. No way the Lakers hits the jackpot again. Just can't happen, those things has to even out at some point. That means, we get Deron Williams, LA gets nobody. Deal.

You sure I meant the Lakers?



Anyways, I'm sure Sir David Stern will find a way to get Howard in a Lakers jersey despite them having no cap space. And Otis Smith is dumb enough to do anything.

1) Donald Sterling sure as hell ain't paying Dwight Howard to play basketball in LA, and even if he did, he sure as hell wouldn't spring the money to build a team around him... What's Dwight's motivation?

2) If David Stern was heading a conspiracy to make the Lakers the most bestest basketball team in the history of forever-ever, then you'd think he would have used that power to give them at least ONE playoff win against us...

Lakers and Mavs get nobody. Dwight&Deron in Brooklyn and Lopez get shipped out for an allstar wing.
