Rumor: Heat to open season up against the Bulls and X-Mas Day Game vs the Lakers

[LongLiveTheKing]

That's a good season opener but they should change the Christmas game Lakers are going to suck next year.
I remember the last time the Heat got their rings against the Bulls lol.

I know why they want to match up the Heat and Lakers, but it should be against the Spurs.

Ew why the Chi-Thugo Bulls?? I'm shocked Stern didn't want to see the HEAT play the Nets...I would much rather see that and /yawns another Heat vs Lakers on X-Mas day...

I have no idea why the Nba is acting like the Bulls and Heat are rivals. Should open against the Nets.

I guess any team with Kobe will get a Christmas game, no matter how bad the lakers will be.

They should open against the Spurs. See if it motivates Manu

Would anyone really be surprised if Rose's muscle memory issues emerge right before the opening day?

He's having muscle memory issues that week.

the muscle memory joke has gone stale.

[It's A VC3!!!]

any other teams that leaked? i know official schedule will be next week but i want to hear of some other besides just the heat.

[DuMa]

this is lame. i dont want to expect to see a team get demolished by 35 on xmas game

it should be rockets @ lakers for xmas.

Heat/Bulls is a great opening night assuming Rose comes back as well.

Heat/Lakers on Christmas is beyond stupid. We don't know when Kobe will be back, they are going to suck, and it's just another game for Miami rather than a sweet Finals rematch against the Spurs.

Rockets/Lakers would have been better on Christmas

Rose's first game back against the Heat?

Chalmers going straight for the knees.

Chicago vs Miami on opening day was always about a lock. Miami vs the Lakers though is a disappointment. Brooklyn, San Antonio, Clippers, Golden State, OKC and Houston vs Miami all would've been a better choice.
