The 2014-15 NBA regular season schedule was officially announced Wednesday and the Thunder will be featured on national TV 32 times throughout the year.
The Thunder will open the season with two tough road games against two top Western Conference teams. Their season opener is Wednesday October 29 in Portland at 10:30 p.m. EST on ESPN. The following night they head to Los Angeles to face Chris Paul and the Clippers. While it may be a tough start to the year, these will be two highly anticipated and exciting games.
The first home game is November 1 against the Denver Nuggets.
Some other marquee games on the schedule include a matchup against LeBron James and his new team, the Cleveland Cavaliers on December 11 in Oklahoma City. James and Kevin Durant are by far the two best players in the world and whenever they step on the floor together it is must see TV.
The Thunder will again be featured on Christmas Day for the fifth consecutive year. They are the second game of the Christmas Day quadruple header as they will face the defending champion San Antonio Spurs at 2:30 p.m. EST on ABC in San Antonio.
The Thunder will also face the Washington Wizards twice. The Wizards travel to Oklahoma City January 2 while the Thunder will head to the nation's capital January 21. This is not a big deal any other year, but with all the speculation surrounding Durant's looming 2016 free agency, the rumors, chatter, and exposure will be escalated for these two games, especially when he returns home for the second game.
Cheers to being one step closer to some actual basketball!
