The Phoenix Suns schedule for the upcoming season was released today. The Suns tip off the 2012-13 campaign at home against the Golden St. Warriors on October 31st. Happy Halloween. Only 97 days and counting until we all get a chance to see the new look Suns in action in a game that counts.
The Suns first game against the Lakers (I hear they have a new point guard) will be at LA on November 16th. The Lakers first visit to the valley will be on January 30th, in a game scheduled to be televised by ESPN.
Grant Hill and the Clippers come to Phoenix on December 23rd, Amar'e Stoudemire and the Knicks will be in town on December 26th and the NBA champion (that still hurts to write) Miami Heat will be at US Airways Center on November 17th.
More breakdown and analysis to follow at a later date. The full schedule can be viewed at Suns.com here.
What are your initial reactions? Do you (Valley residents) plan on attending games against the Knicks, Heat, and other Eastern Conference foes that were conspicuously absent from last year's schedule?
