Re Cleveland on opening day...to be honest, I think Clevleand was and will remain one of our toughest match ups mostly because of LeBron and somehow they just seem to match up well with us. They will continue to make me nervous.
That being said, if it were my choice I would prefer an opeing schedule of:
Clevleand at Home
Philly on the road
Detroit on the road
Toronto at Home
Orlando on the road, next day
New Orleans at home
Then
Utah, Lakers, Houston on the road
San Antone, Dallas, Detori at home
You get the picture...
This year won't be any easier, in fact, it'll probably be tougher.
Let's get it on. We won't win anything running from anyone
I'd rather take it on the nose from the start and all season...
Let's hop into that fire
