The Suns will open the season on the road they way they ended the last one...playing the Spurs on Oct. 29th. Nothing better to start the year than a rande-vous with Tim, Tony and Manu.
Here's some of the highlights of the schedule:
- Opening game: Oct. 29th in San Antonio (on ESPN)
- Home opener: Oct. 30th vs New Orleans (on TNT)
- First meeting with the NBA Champ Celtics: Jan. 19th. The Celts will return the favour on Feb. 22nd. I just hope we won't regret the trade that never was (KG) by that time
- Final game: Apr. 15th vs Golden State
- Longest home stand: 4 games in March (Philadelphia, Washington, Denver, Utah)
- Longest road trip: 6 games in January (Toronto, Boston, New York, Charlotte, Atlanta, Washington) from Jan. 18th to the 26th. There's a tough, but short trip East between Feb. 8th and 11th (right before the All Star Game) with the Suns playing the Pistons, the much-improved Sixers and the Cavs.
- Toughest month: December as the Suns will travel a lot and will play on the road at Dallas, New Orleans and the Lakers while hosting Utah, Orlando and San Antonio among others.
- Toughest stretch of the season: there are two very interesting 4-game stretch one in Nov. (16-22) when the Suns will play Detroit, Utah, the Lalers and Portland and one in March (6-12) with Houston, San Antonio, Dallas and Cleveland).
- First Steve Nash - Dirk Nowitzki reunion: Dec. 4th in Dallas.
- Biggest game of the year: That Christmas date with the Spurs (Dec. 25th at 12.30 on ABC). It's possibly better than last year's Xmas with Kobe.
- First Lopez Family reunion: Nov. 4th in New Jersey and Nov. 30th in Phoenix.
- Those Lakers games: in LA on Dec. 10th, Feb. 26th and in the Valley on Nov. 20th and March 1st.
Start counting, it's 83 days to the Suns opener
Go Suns !
