The NBA schedule has been released, so let's look at the biggest games. You know, the games that you could see being introduced with a completely over-the-top video. The revenge games, the ones with all the narratives, the ones you mark on your calendar. There's a lot of Cleveland here, obviously.

The NBA gave us a nice treat this Halloween: a potential Eastern Conference Finals preview. Most observers think these are the top two teams in the East, and at the beginning of the season they'll still be trying to implement all the new pieces.

San Antonio @ Cleveland, Nov. 19, 7 p.m. ET, ESPN
Three weeks in, just how good will these Cavs be? Will the Spurs have picked up where they left off last season?
