LeBron James and the Cavaliers will start next season at the same place they ended last season: TD Banknorth Garden. The Celtics, who knocked off the Cavaliers in a second-round playoff series by defeating them in a deciding Game 7 in Boston, will host the Cavaliers in the NBA season opener Oct. 28. The Celtics will have their ring ceremony and raise their 17th championship banner before the game. "It's going to be great," said James. "Their atmosphere is one of the best that we have in our league. It's going to be a great night for that organization once again on ring night. "That's Game 1. It starts the season, I guess. You just get ready to play."

he will be ok as long as they win gold and he is not called Le Bronze again.

This is good for Lebron. Another motivation to bring up his game. It's his chance to ruin the night for the Celtics or get embarrassed.

Who cares if he's OK or not OK?? That's the schedule you've been handed out so just go and play ball.Jeez

As opposed to being not okay with it?

August 11, 2008  09:27 AM ET

I agree with all above comments...

So.......if he wasn'y okay with it......................they'd have postponed it or what?

Who gives a royal #@%*^! if the King thinks it's OK? Get a *%^#@!@ team and one day it will be you.

Why wouldn't he be okay with it? Aside from the fact he doesn't have a choice. The Celtics won the championship. That's the way it is.

Classy guy, classy statement !!!

August 11, 2008  01:12 PM ET

he cant change it even if he wasnt ok with it but he is giving the team sport image to the media and acting like its ok.

August 11, 2008  02:47 PM ET

I'm just happy that LeBron is OK with the NBA using the first game of the schedule as the start of the season...

August 11, 2008  04:00 PM ET

I didn't realize the Celtics who have 17 more championships than LeBron needed his approval.

Oh and betchboy, LeBron will drop 40 on those "fools" but those "fools" will win the game. Kinda like they won the championship last year? Where was LeBron when all this was happening. Last time I checked, it was about winning, not LeBron "droppin 40 on those fools"
