Sixers Will Surprise Heat in First Game, Lose by only 20

Kate Fagan of Philly.com is reporting on her "Deep Sixer" blog the Sixers will take on Superteam Heat in their first game of the season. So much for starting 1-0.

This hasn't been officially announced however. The NBA has only released its' holiday game schedules thus far. For some reason they're breaking up the release of the 2010-2011 season into parts –- which is dumb. The release of the NBA schedule isn’t something people really care about. It’s not like the NFL. There really isn't any need to make a big spectacle of it, but hey, what do I know?

As Fagan notes, it seems all of the Heat’s games are being leaked, so while this is a rumor, it’s more than likely true. The full schedule is released next week.

If you want to take anything good from this, Miami’s first game will be the night before against the Celtics. Getting the Heat after playing on back to back nights (especially against a team that should be able to contend against them) is about the best case scenario for the Sixers opener against them... I guess. Maybe Bosh will still have some Shaq residue on him.

In other news, Lebrons' Ego bought Obama a birthday gift.

And quit putting bologna slices on the man’s car.
