 take a look here 37 of 72 games have been announced 19 home 18 on the road in this first half of this NBA schedule for the next three series consecutive games versus an opponent in the same arena two games in a row in Brooklyn against the Hawks two games in Cleveland against the Cavaliers and two games in Brooklyn with the heat and a five game 10-day West Coast trip February 13th to the 21st Warriors Kings Sons Lakers Clippers on that West Coast journey coos as we put the finishing touches on that's hot stove what are some things some games you may be looking forward to some matchups you look at these series and playing a team you know in the course of two days the same team how that kind of stacks up with often when you're asking coaches you know thinking about the last meeting the quickness of that turnaround the adjustments that are made in just in general there's a lot of new faces and new places and just some of these matchups how we'll be able to see what about you G I want to what are you most looking for right you know it this is the kind of team where it doesn't matter the opponent yeah you know it right out of the gate against Golden State is a fantastic matchup but that will be our up it's around no one at the preseason but in terms of regular season Kevin Durand the black and white yeah one of the best scores in NBA history playing for the Brooklyn that's stepping out there on the court and competing in a in a meaningful NBA game so right out of the gate the matchup with the Lakers will be fantastic too a lot of story lines and we hit on one in the opening segment to a lot of story lines around that one but the first matchup with the Lakers would be great the story within a story I also think it's important you know for us the net's playing on opening night the net's playing on Christmas day what a privilege and what an honor in how players really take and teams really take pride in that so for all those reasons I think your spot on it too I just think you know the newness and the uniqueness of the season and just how it's different I know the players experience the bubble without fans but just how being in different arenas and how that will settle in and translate to the performance on the floor
