Interesting....

Oct. 28: Opening Night
An earlier-than-usual launch to the season starts with a tasty TNT doubleheader, leading off with the new champs from Boston hosting LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers on ring night

Speaking of the NBA's king,

the schedule says he'll be on Christmas day.

I can only assume I know what you'll be doing on Christmas after all the gifts in your house are unwrapped- watching LeBron posterize the Wizards.

You better believe it Sabres! By then, I may be all "Christmas Storied" out, so the Cav's will be a nice night-cap. The Cav's and Wiz always make for a nice heated matchup.

I look at Cavs/Wizards differently.

IMO, it's the NBA version of the Roadrunner and the Coyote.

Remember, the Wizards are 0-4 against Cleveland all-time in the playoffs (1976, 2006, 2007, 2008)
 
The "Thunder" have yet to announce a TV partner, but Cox Sports is the leading contender.
They have announced a radio deal in OKC only.

It's not know at this point if the Blazers games will become available in Seattle. Comcast Sportsnet Northwest has more problems in Oregon coverage it needs to address first.
