The Schedule Highlights

The Schedule came out today...a few things caught my eye...

- Opener is at Toronto on Halloween; then they have a game at Chicago two days later that starts at 8pm CST. The home opener is 7pm EST the next night against the Nets.

- Boston home games - December 5th, March 10

- Greg Oden comes to Philly November 16th, Kevin Durant March 7th

- If the Sixers have any hope of making the playoffs, they'll have to get off to a good start and survive a horrid 12 out of 16 on the road, including west coast and Texas trips, from December 15 through January 18th. The second west coast trip at the end of February, is a tough one as well; only 3 nights but you get the Suns on the second night of back to backs and then right back east. If they can stay in contention until they get back from the second one they'll have a shot at a low playoff birth.

- Finally...ZERO nationally televised games. None. Nunca. Zippo. Wow...only Memphis, Washington and Atlanta are the only other teams with no nationally televised games. Its as if no one cares about the Sixers.

zero nationally televised games is pretty impressive !!

seems we are the only ones to care...

whatever, I have to make some lobbying to have League Pass available in Europe too, I'll email the league again

speaking of schedule, Lakers have a pretty tough start, they might be like 2-5 after seven games or something
