Jacked this from Real GM's forums after the Bulls mistakenly posted the schedule 6 hours early..... The Bulls start off their season on Thursday, October 29th against the San Antonio Spurs at home. The following game is a 1st round playoff rematch against the Boston Celtcs.....in Boston. I'm assuming that this game will probably be broadcasted nationally on ESPN. The schedule also has 22 back to back games meaning HALF of the season are back to back games. The circus trip sucks as always. We might be able to get back to Chicago with 2-4 record at best. Here's the schedule....thoughts?

That's a brutal start. The Spurs on opening night, then we have to go to Boston and play there the next night.
That's actually the C's third game in four nights. KG's knee might have already given out by that point. And SA plays the night before as well and then travels. Still a pretty tough opening, but not as bad as it looked at first.
I'm glad that the first two games of the season are being broadcasted on TV so I don't have to resort to watching them on my computer. At the same time though, I have a feeling we're going to get our asses handed to us on national TV by two teams who are actually out to prove something this season.
