Wow... First 11 games of the season should be intresting....

[Chisoxfn]

Should be a great game and this creates a true dilemma since Halloween is such a fun holiday to be out for. I guess I'll just have to make sure wherever I go that TNT is on the tele.

[Chisoxfn]

Wow, tough initial stretch with 9 of the first 11 on the road. But its cool to see we are going to get 30 national televised games. I assume that could change a bit if we don't meet expectations and maybe we could add a game or two (cause I assume there are some games that aren't announced as national tv games immediately because they want to chose the best matchups; but maybe I'm wrong).

Either way this should be good stuff and I'm real excited for NBA season. Of course I'm also excited to see if the Sox can figure things out and what the Bears will be doing.

[Bullies4Life]

This national exposure should be great for the Bulls this season... It will only help them out in the playoffs.

-Also, December looks like it could be a great month for us. There we will finally be gellin in nicely. (i hope)

-Last 5 games look good for the Bulls if we are fighting for the top position in the East.

[Bullies4Life]

Darn, that means I cant wear my cute little butterfly outfit on Halloween cuz im gonna be stuck watching the Bulls.... Or working..

On the year, the Bulls will play 21 back-to-back sets. The team also plays four games in five nights twice. Chicago plays 15 times (seven home) on Fridays, 14 times (10 home) on Saturdays, 13 times (nine home) on Tuesdays, 13 times (four home) on Wednesdays, nine times on Mondays (seven home), nine times on Thursdays (four home) and nine times on Sundays (zero home).

The Bulls’ monthly breakdown is as follows: one game in October (zero home), 13 games in November (four home), 17 games in December (12 home), 15 games in January (10 home), 14 games in February (five home), 14 games in March (seven home) and eight games in April (three home).

In addition to Chicago’s national TV appearance on Opening Night, the Bulls are scheduled to appear on national television a total of 30 times – 12 more than last year. This year the Bulls will air on ABC four times, TNT nine times, ESPN eight times and NBA-TV nine times.
