8 Spurs games. 6 Cavaliers games. 6 Celtics games. 6 Blazers games. 6 Magic games. 5 Jazz games. 5 Rockets games. 4 Pistons games. 4 Lakers games. I thought that the defending champs would be part of more "must see" games. I don't think this is a good list.
I think the idea is that they will just destroy most people, whereas other teams will make for more entertaining games.
They didn't put any Lakers vs Celtics in the list and I think this will be a great match (as long everyone stays healthy).
