The full schedule isn't out quite yet, but some leaks are starting to come out today. I'll try and update them as I see them, and others feel free to do the same. The full schedule should come out any day now.

KD/Warriors to visit OKC sometime in February:

Warriors to visit Cleveland for Christmas Day primetime game:

We actually should have a good case to play on Christmas Day - perhaps against Atlanta?

The regular season will begin on Tuesday, October 25, 2016, according to Wikipedia and several other sources. Seems a little earlier than usual, which I'm good with!

I believe it typically begins on the last Tuesday in October, which is the earliest it can be this season.  The last time it would have been the 25th was 2011, but there was the lockout instead.

Hearing it's Celtics @ Knicks on christmas day according to Kevin O'Connor.

[SparzWizard]

I'm so down if it's a Celtics @ Cavaliers on opening night. That matchup should generate more revenue, and the Celts get a chance to play spoilers on their banner night!

Hoping the Celtics play @Lakers the first stint, and hoping we can finally sweep them for the first time since our championship season lol. Always look forward to those two games.

Celtics vs Hawks, Celtics vs Bulls should all be good, too. Warriors games will be tough now that they have KD35.

If we continue to keep Warrior games within 5 points A.K.D., teams will have to start copying the makeup of our teams LOL. It's easier to build like us than find an LBJ. We have been so close to them for a long time, we need to meet them in the finals (after we see how it is AKD)!

So how many nationally televised games do you think we'll have this year?

I think we'll have 21 of those games, and I bet the league will give us four games against Cleveland and try and create an East rivalry between us.

I think we'll definitely get one or both against GSW. Those two games were arguably the best games in the entire regular season. Then against CLE. Maybe Indiana. Atlanta for sure. If the Christmas thing is true, then against the Knicks. Then for the hell of it because of the big names, Chicago too.

[jpotter33]

Looks like we'll have 22 nationally televised games this year!

Those are all non-NBATV, too!

Raptors apparently only have 6 nationally televised games this season, too 

I thought that they might try and rekindle a Boston/Cleveland rivalry, and that certainly seems to be the case with Boston being the second most televised behind Cleveland.

Can the season start already?!

[jpotter33]

Another shocker: Minnesota at OKC on Christmas Day. Looks like they're jumping on the Minny bandwagon early before they blow up to a really good team in the next couple of years.
