#4 Nov 23 vs Toronto

Will Jermaine O’Neal be healthy? Dying to see Bosh/O’Neal duo

Quirks in the schedule…back to back road games BEFORE the All Star Game (in Phoenix this year)..then off to Utah for west coast trip….Dont see new look Philly until Dec 23rd….MLK Day usually spent in NY vs Knicks..this year its part of a national tv triple header at home vs the Suns….how bout this for a dbl header? Celts-TWolves @ Noon on Feb 1st….followed by Pats vs whomever @ 6 (Super Bowl Sunday if you hadnt realized) look at the stretch in March starting w/ the Heat in Miami on the 11th…followed by 6 road games in 10 days (Spurs, Orlando, Atl among others) tough tough stretch…but when your the champs, it aint easy!!!
