Overall this is a pretty fair schedule. A decent amount of home stands and 25 National televised games. I have no complaints.
Let's Go Celtics!!

I counted 34 with NBATV. With my home teams (NYC), that makes 40, which makes it hard to swallow buying the LP for just half the games and very few marquee ones. There will surely be Fan Vote games or other add ons upping that total, but it's a tradition I've done ever since 2004, and I won't stop now.

Looks like we get a nice little break in January, too. I think we only have the London game in a nine day stretch.

34 games that won't be covered by League Pass is depressing.  For those of us who no longer reside in the Boston area (or never have) and don't get free games on CSN anymore this is the cost of having a good basketball team - more nationally televised games. 

But I'll still get League Pass since I intend on catching a lot of the Nets and Lakers games given our stakes in their records.

I love the new schedule.  The pattern I'm most happy with is January.  Traditionally we used to have tons of home games (10 or 11) scheduled in January that were all non-marquee games.  It was a brutal stretch of bad games in bad weather for season ticket holders.

The poor English. I can see Adam Silver being like "you can root for the 'Irish' away team or the home team that's named for us taking our independence from you." And then under his breath "...'murica."

2 West Coast swings which is typical, one in Jan then another one in March:
Jan: LAL, LAC, GSW, Den
March: Por, Sac, Phx, Uta

However, no defined Texas swing this season where they would visit Hou, Dal, SAS in the same trip.
