If Lockout Lifts, C's Start Season Against Sub .500 Teams

While the lockout will most likely prevent a good chunk of the 2011-2012 season from taking place, the NBA announced next season's schedule this afternoon. Unlike last year's flashy season opener against the Miami Heat, this year Boston will face a series of teams with losing records in the first few games of the season. Aside from the Atlanta Hawks, the Celtics open their season up against the Cavs and also play the Pacers, Bobcats, and Clippers in their first 5 games. They will however see an Eastern Conference Semifinals rematch with Miami in their 7th game of the season, should the lockout lift before November 1st. Full schedule after the jump.
