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 have no clue why they've suddenly sucked at defending the fast break. Earlier in the season it was all they could do. After giving up 30-some fast break points to the ****ing WIZARDS last night, and now the game they had against LA, it's beginning to look like a slump for them.

Other than the win against OKC without Westbrook, we don't have a very impressive win yet. Beating the Clips once would have been nice.

Oh well.
Don't worry Doug McDermott will be a T-Wolf next year.

I know you're joking, but as far as I know the Wolves don't have a 1st round pick in 2014.

That puts our Honkie strategy into jeopardy.

Yikes.
The Cavs are the Chiefs of the NBA. Apart from Kyrie Irving, they've had prime draft position in some ridiculously untalented draft classes.

That's no excuse though. They're just ****ing terrible. Total shit shows.

That wizards game was horrible. They basically had the game in hand and gave it away.

Um, didn't they have the first pick when one of the top 3 players in NBA history came out, and they drafted him?

He was their Derrick Thomas. Great career, but no ring and then a sudden dead (in their eyes)

I don't know if Harden will ever play defense or if they'll ever be an average team in regard to turnovers. I guess they are still young.

3-point shooting has been meh, but Lin's is up like I predicted. Unfortunately Beverley has disappointed so far.

I also think Terrence Jones will turn into a good player and good fit. Solid start to the season. Would like to see some Motiejunas at backup C eventually... maybe once Asik is traded.

Beat the Mavs!
Harden has actually regressed defensively. It's like he doesn't care about it in the least.

Houston needs to move Asik.

Heh, Dallas came back. Stopped watching after they were down about 15. Chandler Parsons was just killing them.

Harden does so much for them on offense that he pretty much takes a break on the defensive side. Consistent two-way basketball isn't easy to pull off in the NBA, which is why George is becoming so impressive.

Looking like Dallas will steal this one. They hit everything in the 4th. Props to them. Would have been a nice road win. It can be difficult to trust McHale and Harden down the stretch.

Dalembert is so terrible. Can't believe how poorly he played Howard.
