Anytime you can open the season with that marquee matchup of the NBA Champions against the 11th seed, you got to do it. https://t.co/eOP6EDpAac

NBA: "We want the defending champs to get a W on ring night. What's the worst team we can schedule that fans will want to watch get steamrolled?" https://t.co/gWZ8Jvfaso

I guess the NBA didn't learn any lessons from last season when they put the Lakers on every big night and it was a disaster.. I get it, it's the Lakers and all. but if they're half as bad as they were last season, it'll be a disaster again https://t.co/SjEOQhtvml
