I remember when the 2003-2004 schedule came out, it was at near the end of July, does anybody know when the 2004-2005 schedules come out?
They were delayed this year because of all the trades and offseason player movement- schedulers wanted to take their time and create marquee matchups at the right points of the season. Hopefully, they don't make mistakes like they did last year like when they had 2 rivals and great teams (Lakers and Spurs) play 3 times in the first couple of months of the season.
I think it came out today. You can look at it here. It has the whole season fixture, or you can select one month or team or television broadcaster
Kicks off November 2nd with Pistons and Rockets on TNT, sweet. And Christmas day Heat and the Lakers!
I dont think it could get any better than last Christmas with Houston and L.A. That was a great game.
I already marked that game down on my calendar and I wrote Heat v.s Lakers bigger than Christmas. Shaq is going to embarras Kobe IMO, and then he's gonna diss him in the press conference it will be so funny.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting ludacris06:</div><div class="quote_post">I dont think it could get any better than last Christmas with Houston and L.A.

Although I wouldve liked to see a Shaq and Kobe vs T-Mzc and Yao instead byt hey this is good too. The Lakers will not have an anserwer to Shaq. Whos going to guard Shaq Divac? Odom? Grant? None of them can even contain Shaq. Also Dwyane may help contain Kobe along with Jones.
Lets just hope Shaq is healthy enough to play till Xmas!!! I'm sure Kobe will bring a special present for Shaq.
I can't wait to see the Rockets versus Raptors game on the 3rd of November. Vince will probably out-play TMac for the 2nd time out of about 12 contests between them considering the Raptors are at home and considering Tmac's productiveness will be reduced due to Yao.
LIke I say, if the Heat's defense can stop Kobe, the heat win. Just ask the Pistons and Tayshaun Prince. Hopefully someone was taking notes. As for the Lakers fans who say shaq will be injured blah blah, you're just not acknowledging that shaq was making excuses when he was playing for the Lakers. This year he's gonna prove to the world and his critics that the Lakers messed up in choosing Kobe over him and he's gonna give Miami his best.
