Of course you’re getting the defending champs at home, not all that surprising.

Hard to argue this isn’t an awesome slate assuming everyone is healthy.

And yet, there are some OBVIOUS snubs that were pretty shocking when I first saw this list.

For starters, where’s Giannis?

Did Adam Silver forget that guy exists?

Or do he and the Bucks simply not move the needle anymore?

That seemed a little crazy, but I guess Wemby has more juice?

The other notable snub of course is the Thunder.

A team many think is going to be leading the Western Conference for the second straight season.

They’re legit, and there’s definitely some juice in either of those matchups.
