Starting up!
No, unfortunately it’s still very early to see NBA teams battling for another title, but in the meantime the league has rolled out the first week’s schedule and the schedule for Christmas day.

The first novelty that leaps to the eye, but which had already been budgeted for, is the start date of the season which will see the first two-ball on October 17 next year, that is, a good ten days earlier than usual, to allow for a greater dilution of the games and above all to better organize rests by removing as much as possible the classic for games in five nights or back-to-back. Silver has clearly said that this move must be a help toward franchises and players that must be returned in the form of star employment. The committee no longer wants to see live national games, perhaps between contenders that have to see two, three, four or even six stars on the bench with wingmen on the court. This move, in addition to protecting the players and their health, serves the league to not lose the spectacle that only the best can provide.

The schedule will open the dances with two games that already have the flavor of the playoffs, in fact the Golden State Warriors will open hostilities with the celebration and delivery of the rings within friendly walls by hosting the Houston Rockets of Chris Paul and James Harden, while last season’s finalists, namely the Cleveland Cavaliers, will host their main antagonists in the Boston Celtics.
Of course, the first glance at the schedule flies straight to Christmas, and as always the saying, “rich dish, I’m going to get stuck in” doesn’t quite make the point.
The Philadelphia 76ers make their Christmas debut at noon by visiting the New York Knicks, at five-thirty the Wizards will pay a visit to the Boston Celtics with title aspirations, while at eight o’clock there will be one of the most interesting challenges of the season between OKC Thunder and Houston Rockets at the home of Westbrook and George.
The challenge that will close the day will be between Timberwolves and Lakers, but not before getting a taste of Christmas day again with last season’s finalists Warriors and Cavs, who will do battle in yet another Christmas challenge.
These are just dates for now, but the red circle on Christmas and the couch you can already do without fear.
