13th matchup in the span of a year lmao

Silver is cooking

(gotta be thankful he did the obvious, it’s a rare case with him)

I can practically hear Roundball Rock

Thunder vs spurs for 1000 years

I personally think that you shouldn’t overshadow a team’s ring night like this. Now it’s the LeBron 76ers debut game and not the Knicks ring night.

Gonna have to break the bank for opening night smh

Ratings go brrr

They also scheduled Celtics-Pistons that afternoon

Good morning everyone!

Good for LeBron, doesn’t have to travel for his first game as a 6er

The King against the pawns it is

I knew we would play the Knicks but I was hoping for another team 😂😂 I think the narrative of Mitch getting his ring was more interesting

Honestly, I’m just tired of playing the Celtics and Knicks every opening night/Christmas lol

So the Knicks were either playing the Cavs, Heat, the Warriors, or the Sixers

Knicks probably start slow, All the celebrations but they’ll know how to close together and Bron always lose that first game on a new team

was hoping for Bos to get Mitch his ring.

Was always obvious.

I thought they might have the Spurs game in OKC since that’s where the iconic game 1 and game 7’s were played. I like having it in SA though since the Spurs can have an intense and hopefully iconic home game in this rivalry and start their revenge season at home.

First game in and were already boutta push some agendas lmao i see your game Silver

Tickets for Sixers-Knicks probably reselling for 5k minimum

Time to ruin the ring ceremony

Now those are some good games

They should have had Sixers @ Knicks on Christmas day. LeBron’s final Christmas day game in The Garden would be the most expensive ticket ever, probably even more than a finals ticket

Hey! We finally break free of Knicks-Celtics

LeBron still draws viewers

I am very happy about these matchups :)

Most predictable opening night slate in NBA history

Not bad

The 76ers vs Knicks game made a lot of sense and probably will be one of the hype at opening night game in a while

LeBron at MSG is always a classic

LeBron about to find out why he should have joined the Knicks

Mmm good I like it

hell yea almost that time 🔥

gotta find a way to get to that home opener…

Defending champs vs Bron and the WCF rematch.

Why would Silver schedule an opening night game at 2pm central time on a Tuesday…

I wish it was the Celtics so we could have Mitch there, and this basically means all the coverage will be about LeBron instead of ring night. But no real surprise.

Cant wait for Chet revenge game on opening night with a statline of 5 pts, 1 rebound, 2 assist, and 2 almost blocks against wemby.

Should also have Lakers against Dallas as an opening act game.

LeBron can just walk from home

Hahaha, gotta love that the Heat are still B reel even after the Giannis trade. I can’t believe they aren’t playing opening night… wow.

Get-in price on stubhub is $2000 for the Knicks game. That’s 2x more than what I saw Hawks/Knicks tickets going for in the semis last year.

im actually shocked its not celtics vs 76ers.

As expected. Good choices

Expected this opening night slate, but it’s got me curious which teams OKC and San Antonio face on Christmas because it’s hard to imagine the league will let those two face off each other again on a marquee day.

Damn. Would have been better to get our rings in front of Victim and the rest of them hoe ass spurs but i get it

I hate Adam silver so much

Knicks win

SGA vs Wemby and Embiid vs Brunson at the Garden on broadcast TV again? Silver actually cooked this time.

Should be a finals rematch in opening night

How about amazon games? Still weekends?

He said opening night is going to be ECF & WCF this year

I wanted the Celtics in MSG, but sure, this is fine too. Knicks W.

Both games going OT! Callin it rn !!!

As much as I already disliked the Thunder, playing against them in NBA2K Play Now Online has made me dislike them even more. 😅

This is so lame. Indiana would have been so much better for the Knicks on opening night.

I’m ready 👌🏾

Celtics v Pistons starts opening day

I don’t care at all about watching old man LeBron fumbling around and fuck up …..philadelphia….. on opening night.

Inject straight into veins, smile

I don’t understand why the NBA season starts so crazy late. In Europe season ends in the end of May - beginning of June, and starts again in a week and a half, 28th of August. The games are more spread out, there is less load managing, it’s easier to follow the sport when there aren’t 8 games playing the same night.

I wish they’d reduce the schedule to 58 games, 1 home and 1 away game for every team, making the regular season more relevant, but if not that, at least begin the season a month or 2 earlier, and lengthen the regular season.

It can’t be just because of the NFL, because lengthening the season still means you have post-Superbowl schedule to yourself with the NHL.

We are truly blessed

We’ll see all the matches in the season it doesnt matter who plays on opening day or Christmas.

I’m curious why Detroit instead of like Miami
