The NBA’s regular-season schedule was released last night. You can see the full Grizzlies’ schedule here.
Here are a few thoughts as we look ahead to what should be a really fun season:
Games of Note:
At Los Angeles Clippers — Wednesday, October 31st: The season opener is a tough one, a road rematch with the team that eliminated the Grizzlies from last season’s playoffs. The bad news: The Clippers might be better this season after adding veterans like Chauncy Billups, Lamar Odom, Grant Hill, and Rony Turiaf to their bench. The good news: Blake Griffin had knee surgery this summer and might not be 100-percent for this game.
Utah Jazz — Monday, November 5th: The home opener against one of the West’s young, emerging teams.
Houston Rockets — Friday, November 9th: “Linsanity” — to what ever degree it will still exist — makes its Memphis debut.
Miami Heat — Sunday, November 11th: The Heat didn’t play in Memphis during the lockout season, but the defending champions come to town for their lone appearance here.
At Oklahoma City Thunder — Wednesday, November 14th: The team’s first national television game (on ESPN) is also an early measuring stick against the defending Western Conference champs.
