ESPN Announces NBA Games for ESPN 3D
There are a few things that stood out to me on the ESPN 3D Schedule. 1. The Thunder have arrived as a national team thanks to Kevin Durant. They will appear twice, the same amount as other heavyweights like the Heat Knicks and Lakers. (poor Seattle). 2. Carlos Boozer will probably not be seen on ESPN 3D even though the Bulls game is not slated to be played until March (just being honest, he will have some lagging injury -Jazz fan)
Here is the regular season schedule:
