NBA Regular Season Opening Games


There are three games scheduled on the NBA regular season’s opening games. These three games will give us a quick taste of the season ahead.

The Cavaliers and the defending champion Celtics will tip-off the season openers. We will see a rematch of last season’s Eastern Conference Semifinals. This will be very interesting because of Mo Williams’ debut with the Cleveland Cavaliers. We will see how big his effect on the team’s performance will be. As for the Celtics, well, we’ll see if the Celtics are really serious about repeating as NBA Champions this season.

Next up will be the Bucks going against the Bulls. This game isn’t as hyped up as the Cleveland-Boston game but it will show us the regular season debut of Richard Jefferson with the Milwaukee Bucks and of course, the 1st overall pick in the Draft, Derrick Rose with the Chicago Bulls.

Last but surely not the least, the Portland Trail Blazers play against the runners-up in last season’s NBA Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers. This game will be the one-year delayed debut of last year’s first overall pick, Greg Oden. This will also be the first time Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, and Andrew Bynum will be able to play together. We will see in this game how well these three players will play on the court.

It is game time NBA fans. This is no longer preseason. It’s the real deal for the NBA teams. Each team will be giving 110% to capture that first victory and hopefully many more to come.
