The 2011 NBA Preseason Schedule
Let me tell you, constructing this list was not easy. Only certain NBA teams have actually sent out press releases with their preseason schedule, meaning it took some digging to compile this. As it has become common knowledge, each team will play two preseason games – one home and one away – against the same opponent. And with limited time before the season begins on Christmas Day, pairings have been determined geographically. So without further ado, here’s the 2011 NBA preseason schedule:
Friday, Dec. 16
Chicago Bulls at Indiana Pacers, 7 p.m.
Cleveland Cavaliers at Detroit Pistons, 7:30 p.m.
New Orleans Hornets at Memphis Grizzlies, 7 p.m.
Philadelphia 76ers at Washington Wizards, 7 p.m.
Saturday, Dec. 17
Milwaukee Bucks at Minnesota Timberwolves, 7 p.m.
New York Knicks at New Jersey Nets, 2 p.m.
Sacramento Kings at Golden State Warriors, 7: 30 p.m.

That kinda sucks for all the 2nd-round picks and fringe vets who can use the preseason to earn spots on the team.
