2006-2007 Schedule Released

The 2006-07 NBA schedule was released today. The Suns play 33 games on national TV, which I think is the most of any team.
The season begins in LA against the Rapers on Haloween. The home opener is November 1 against the real team in LA, the Clippers. It will be interesting to see the reception Tim Thomas gets in Phoenix.
Some other highlights of the schedule include:
Suns vs. World Champion Miami Heat Dec 13 @ Miami, and Jan 5 @ Phx.
Suns vs. Dallas in a rematch of the 2006 West Finals November 9th at US Airways Center.
Cleveland and LeBron James comes to town on January 11.
Kobe and the Rapers don't make their first appearance in the Valley until March 4. That game will be fun, as the chant of KOBE SUCKS will be alive and well.

The regular season ends on April 17 with the Clippers coming to town again.

I can't wait until the season starts and it's only August!

Depth Chart:

PG: Steve Nash, Marcus Banks
SG: Raja Bell, Leandro Barbosa, James Jones
C: Amare Stoudemire. Kurt Thomas, Pat Burke
