Who do you think the Spurs will play on opening night?

[davi78239]

Any guesses? I'm thinking maybe the Heat, Pistons, or Suns. What do you all think?

[ducks]

james in cleveland

[davi78239]

You know, I was thinking that as well. With the additions the cavs can make like getting Ray Allen and with the young phenomenum Lebron, they could pull this one opening night. The defending champs vs. the star studded, revamped Cleveland. Wouldn't doubt it.

[shyne]

I want Detroit or the Lakers

[davi78239]

Oh yea, I forgot about that one too. Phil's back in LA with Kobe.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Isn't the 1st game on OCT. 13th against the Wizards?

[davi78239]

The first pre-season game maybe. Opening night is usually around Oct 31, or Nov 1.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Detroit!!!!

[DDS4]

It seems like they save Finals rematches for holiday games or am I imagining things?

I want the Spurs to play the Lakers or the Knicks.

[Banks91]

opening night, if i was duncan, i would suggest they play the wolves, so kg can see wat he will never get, an nba championship ring

[Old School Chic]

Rockets

[Cant_Be_Faded]

sorry detroit, as much as i dont like you guys anymore, you're still no lakers


LAKERS!!!

The first pre-season game maybe. Opening night is usually around Oct 31, or Nov 1.

OMG, That's 4 months away! I don't know if I can make it that long...guess I will have to buy the championship DVD to keep me going. :spin

[dknights411]

We played Phoenix opening night 03-04 (when they sucked), so we might wind up getting a team like Chicago or Milwaukee.

But I'm personally betting on either Detroit or Houston.

[Ginofan]

I'm just hoping for some decent team...I should be in attendance. Seeing the banner raised to the rafters of the SBC and playing the Pistons in the same night would be kind of sweet.

[jochhejaam]

Any guesses? I'm thinking maybe the Heat, Pistons, or Suns. What do you all think?

We'd (Pistons) be happy to play ya but game 8 is on our court. :lol

(Not sure who we open up with but I have received information from a high-level league official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, that the Spurs 1st game is to be played either at home or on the road).

[spursupporter]

i want the lakers!
a big blowout gift to phil jackson and kobe! haha

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Safe bets:

Denver
Miami
Milwaukee
LA Clippers

[black/silver rook]

Knowing TNT, lakers or suns will play the second game of the doubleheader. I think they will play memphis or utah in the first game.

[DieMrBond]

Im going to be different and say Portland... just because its the 'Good Guys' versus the 'Bad Guys' ...

Ideally tho, Detroit vs San An would be best, because the majority of players from the finals would be there for the banner raising... a big 'rub it in their faces and kick them while their down'

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Heat or Suns on TNT.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The Spurs-Pistons are destined for televised games on both ESPN and TNT, but neither will be opening night.

[td4mvp21]

I hope we play a crappy team on opening night. Save all the good teams for the middle of the season.

[Sense]

I'm thinking

Sacramento
Timberwolves
Seattle
Golden State

[TheTruth]

Orlando Magic
