2013-2014 Official NBA Thread

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/ey...4-nba-schedule

With the Schedule released today, I figured it would be a good time to start the thread.

The NBA released its 2013-2014 schedule on Tuesday in a televised special on NBATV alongside a release on NBA.com and its team websites.

The season kicks off Tuesday, October 29th as Miami hosts the Chicago Bulls in Derrick Rose's expected return to the court. Then it's the Battle of LA as the Lakers host the Clippers. It could be the return of Kobe Bryant from his Achilles injury he suffered last spring, and will be the regular season debut of Doc Rivers as the Clippers' newest head coach.

It's a massive gamble by the NBA, considering Rose's struggles returning from his ACL injury suffered in the 2012 playoffs and Bryant's more recent Achilles surgery. If those players were to miss the opening night, it's going to make for a very underwhelming opening night of basketball, regardless of the markets involved for ratings.

Opening week continues on Thursday with the Bulls hosting the Knicks in what is likely to be Rose's return to the United Center in the regular season. The Knicks will be on a back to back, opening the season on Wednesday vs. the Bucks. Thursday night the revamped Warriors visit the Clippers, who are clearly the hot team, with two national appearances in the first three days.

Opening week concludes Friday with the Nets' home opener vs. the Heat, followed by another Lakers home game, this time vs. the defending Western Conference Champion San Antonio Spurs.

On the NBA's biggest regular season day, Christmas Day, starts with the Nets hosting Chicago, followed by the scoring-champ rematch of Carmelo Anthony vs. Kevin Durant as the Thunder visit Madison Square Garden to face the Knicks. Then in the main event, the Heat play the Lakers at Staples Center. Dwight Howard joins the Christmas fun as the Rockets travel to San Antonio to face the Spurs. And in the night cap, the Clippers visit Oracle Arena to take on Steph Curry and the Warriors.

Monday, January 20th continues the NBA's tradition of making Martin Luther King Jr. Day a huge basketball event, with four games on the schedule. Brooklyn travels across the bridge to take on the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, followed by the Grizzlies hosting the Pelicans, the Lakers taking on the Bulls at the United Center, and the Pacers facing the Warriors in the bay to cap off the night.

The Lakers first meet Dwight Howard on November 13th in Houston, and again on January 14th. They first host Howard at Staples Center on February 19th, and again on April 8th.

The NBA Finals rematches occur on January 26th in Miami and March 6th in San Antonio. Will Gregg Popovich rest his starters? It's not a back to back, as the Spurs face Atlanta on the 24th, but it is in the middle of a three-game road trip.

Despite the departure of Dwight Howard, the Lakers keep the max number of nationally televised (non-NBA TV) games in the league at 25, tied with the Knicks and Heat. The Clippers have 21 nationally televised games, while the defending Western Champs, the Spurs, only have 15. The Bulls jump to 24 national games, with the league banking on Rose's return to carry audiences. The Thunder also feature on national TV 24 times.

Houston, with newly-signed Dwight Howard and James Harden, feature 20 games on national television, a pretty low number given the star power. The Mavericks won the NBA title in 2011, and now have just eight national TV appearances. The Warriors meanwhile jump to 17 games, while Eastern Conference finalist Indiana only appears 10 time next season. To put that in perspective, the Denver Nuggets appear 13 times.

The rest of the schedule is at the link.

I don't know that Martin's comments are pointed at Durant or Westbrook. I think its more of going from Russ or KD run around while four guys stand there to an actual system. KD tries to distribute, but very few players on the roster can finish. Scott Brooks is a horrible coach next to Adleman.

I miss having a shooter, but Martin never performed in big games anyway so it's irrelevant.

haha Denver is garbage. That's what they get for firing everyone and letting players go (and trying to basically play three point guards a once)

Firing Karl was a terrible move. It was injuries that derailed them last year.

They had one of the deepest rosters in the league last season, now they're a mess. The minute Brian Shaw said they were going to focus inside out, you knew they were screwed. Starting anything on an NBA team with Javale McGee is a recipe for getting fired.

Rockets were much better tonight. Getting Beverly back significantly improves their perimeter D. Without him, they're atrocious. Simmons and Zach Lowe discussed it on Simmon's podcast today.

I'm going to miss the free League Pass preview, I love being able to catch a bit of every game.

Wow. So rumors out of Cleveland is that Mike Brown hasn't even installed an offense yet. Literally all they do is work on defense, and when that's where he wants it they will start working on offense.

You still claiming that Waiters is a future star? Never understood your hyping that guy, and he doesn't seem to be getting better.

at one point I saw Andre Miller, Ty Lawson and Randy Foye on the court together at the SAME TIME haha. I know Chandler and Gallo are hurt but without them Denver has he worst starting 5 in the NBA. Worse than the Celtics, Sixers, whoever. Wizards are probably a close 2nd.

I still think he can be. He's been compared a lot to Wade, who didn't break out until his third year. But yeah he's not living up to it yet. Having a scoring PG like Irving probably isn't helping him much though, not to mention his team not working on offense yet lol

Wade was 16 /4/4.5 his rookie season and 24 /7/5 his second season. He stepped on an NBA floor fully formed and was almost immediately an All Star player. Not to mention 1.5 steals and 1 block per game (from a guard!).

yea but who after Dion Waiters in that draft is any good, they didnt need Damian Lillard so unless they had a crystal ball and knew Dre Drummond was going to be a defensive wiz in the making, that draft for the most part is terrible. Royce White went 16th lol

Gonna watch Wolves/Warriors off and on. So far we're helpless in guarding that baseline wedge they always run. Pek's gotta be more disciplined. They might shoot their brains out from the field, but at least jumpers will be a much lower percentage than a free release along the baseline

This. Again. No team is scared of anyone besides Rose on the Bulls.
