Looks like we'll be on national TV a lot... March looks kind of rough with all the traveling in between games. Any comments guys?

I think we have about 24 national tv games. Not bad.

Really looking forward to the games against Heat, Lakers, Magic, Bulls and Nuggets.

Jan 27 thru Feb 28 is going to be brutal

2 West coast road trips bookending a homestand with games against the Mavs, Magic, Bobcats, Lakers, and Heat

oh yeah, and the trade deadline is in there somewhere too

wow NBA really aren't doing us any favor by putting us against all these top teams...at least give us some rest dude!

well as i recall last season we barely had rest, its just those 2 weeks where we barely have rest and against good teams...

If the celtics win 80% of those games in that 2 weeks ill be happy

At least beat the Lakers...thats all i want to see

Yeah, this stretch is the toughest of the schedule.

It seems to me that there are a lot more stretches where we play all the good teams and stretches where we play all the bad ones that stretches kind of equally divided between good and bad teams. I don't remember such inequal stretches last season and the years before. Of course there are always weeks when you play a lot of good teams but not so much usually (from what I recall).

As usual, however, we play the Lakers twice in a short timeline, between the end of January and early February! The Lakers in Boston on the 10th, and the Heat in town on the 13th... gonna be great.

Although I still find it stupid from the NBA to put a Heat-Celtics game on the 10th of April since it's supposed to be a big game but that both teams will probably be resting for the playoffs at that point so it won't be played 100%.

somehow i see this as a "seed determined game" Miami would likely be no.1 seed, while Boston could be fighting for 2nd seed with Orlando...

I can see we are 3rd seed cuz of bias reffing on April...if they end up shooting 21 FTs in the 4th quarter or just bias calls throughout the game, definitely going to be fixed

As far as seedings go, who cares?  Get the 8th spot and get a better draft pick.  We showed last year that seeding doesn't matter.  Unless you think Perk wouldn't have been injured if we could have had an easier road to the finals.

Also, I like that we have Miami twice very early in the season.  Not much time for them to gel.  It could give us a mental advantage heading into the season.

I will say that the games that are broadcasted on both ESPN and CSN, I will be watching on CSN. Can't stand those dudes at ESPN anymore, not after the "Decision" debacle.

I agree, March looks rough. With the exception of the March 21st game @NY after the game in NO, it looks like they tried to schedule the road games in the same region together.  And there is a nice block of home games Jan. 10th-21st. So all in all I'm happy.

I hate the ESPN commentary but unfortunately I go to school out of state so they don't broadcast the Celtics... I get the Knicks... fail.
