Posted in Brian Windhorst at the PD reports that it looks as if the Cavs will play their new enemy LeBron and the Heat on opening night. Another story says there will be a TV matchup between the two on December 2nd, a game on TNT’s Thursday night coverage:
NBA TV will announce key nationally broadcasted games for the 2010-11 NBA season Tuesday at 7 p.m.
In the past, the league would just release the schedule in a memo, but in the age of TV specials (i.e.The Decison), everything has become an event. So in a special program, NBA TV will reveal which teams will be featured during ESPN and TNT’s opening week coverage, as well as Christmas Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day matchups.
One source told Starting Blocks that the Miami Heat will open the season at The Q against the Cleveland Cavaliers. If that’s true, it will be like the Baltimore Ravens first game in Cleveland against the new Browns.
But according to The Miami Herald, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Chris Bosh and the new-look Miami Heat are poised to make their season debut against the NBA’s reigning Big 3.
The Heat will open the 2010-11 season against the Boston Celtics on Oct. 26 at TD Garden, multiple league sources said Monday night.
NBA.com will exclusively announce the full 2010-11 regular season schedule on Tuesday, Aug. 10.
