Around SBN: Celtics, Heat Score On Purpose In Super Sunday Wins

Schedule comes out tommorow - 9 AM

According to wheels, all signs point to it coming out tommorow. So it seems very very likely it'll be out by noon tommorow..this is great, we can finally see what rumors come out true.

i hope Lakers vs. Blazers one is true, I'm too hyped for it now, so it would suck if it wasn't real..

Also I'm hearing now it's 16 of 24 of our games being on the road to start the season, seems more realistic than the 18 of 21 one..

Hopefully we'll see who's right tommorow

Good something positive to talk about.

I just spent the last hour on that Love through loss thread. I am excited to see who Oden debuets against.

Schedule.

I’m assuming you mean noon our time? Either way, I’m gonna be logged on all day at work and will definetely post it, or respond to whoever posts it, asap. I would LOVE a HOME opener VS the L*akers.

the exact time tommorow Wheels didn't mention

but he sounded sort of giddy and in a wink wink mood when mentioning it might come out before Canzano show starts on radio, so around noon is likely

if this is somehow wrong, kill wheels not me lol (though i really think it’s true, since wheels felt it will and he’s legit)

Pressure Wheels!

Someone call into the “Wheels After Work” show just after 6pm for “Sports Graffiti” and demand some inside info!

I’d do it but I’m still at work at 6pm.

I have sources

Don’t quote me on this, because I don’t want to reveal my sources, but I heard that we will have 41 home games and 41 away this year. If that’s the case, then I’m gonna lose it. That is so unfair.

Untrue

We’re going to have 49 home games and 49 away games.

The last 8 of each will be playoff wins as we sweep to the championship.

Wheels just said on 95.5...

...that there will be “Very interesting games on very interesting days”. He also said they would have the schedule before the 3:00 show. But it must be out if he’s saying stuff like that…JUST GIVE IT TO US ALREADY!

yeah seriously.. if every team has it already

why don’t they just give it to the public? I dont see why they make us wait

I found a few pieces

Denver does not open at home, but against some team in the NW Div…

According to multiple NBA sources, the Nuggets will start the 2008-09 season with two Western Conference road games, including the opener against a Northwest Division opponent.

[snip]

League sources confirmed Tuesday that the Nuggets will play a New Year’s Eve game in Toronto.

I will predict this right now,

my total guess, but we’ll see if i can call it one day early correctly:

Oct 28th: Blazers at Lakers (season opener)
Oct 31st: Nuggets at Lakers (home opener)

by dsx460 on Aug 5, 2008 7:06 PM PDT reply actions  

Media info from ESPN

The 2008-09 NBA season will start with a bang. ESPN will televise its first ever regular season triple-header on Wednesday, October 29, with games at 5:30, 8:00 and 10:30 PM. The tripleheader could air opposite Game 6 of the World Series. The season officially begins the night before on TNT.

Not correct

I already posted above that Denver opens against an (unnamed) Northwest Division team. (Unless the Rocky Mountain News got it wrong.)

We get to play someone else’s home opener again. At least they don’t have to sit through this team getting their rings…

Atlanta opens on the road

“The Hawks’ reward for finally making the playoffs after nine years is an opening stretch to the 2008-09 season that includes six of their first eight games on the road.

The Hawks open the season Oct. 29 in Orlando against the defending Southeast Division champions. They face five playoff teams in their first eight games.”
