Nope, you haven't missed anything. I went through each team's site and couldn't find a schedule that was updated. On Albany's site, I see they have games scheduled against ABA teams, but the games against Pittsburgh are still there.

Well, for me it's go to my local bar at about 7pm, play competitive team trivia from 730 to 930, walk out with the $50 prize (cause I'm just THAT DARN GOOD), go home, watch the episode of Fringe that I DVR'd, check OSC a couple of times, and conk out for the evening.
What other schedule might you be referring to?

We should start a pool as to which ABA teams do not show. The ABA made the announcement, teams say opening night is this weekend, but we do not know who is playing who. Hey Chuck, forget about it. Just worry about selling your J. Moon pictures and hanging out at the Armory

Don't worry about what I do or don't do.
BTW, I did all right with my J-Moon pictures, just ask Ted Turner.

You told me what you do. You gave me a schedule. Now if you could run up the Armory stairs like a good boy and see if there is a schedule, it would be appreciated.

Enough sniping. If you have something to say to Chuck, take it to PMs or emails.

(Removed by moderator--Sounds childish) Now, is there a schedule of the when and which ABA teams will be playing the CBA teams? I think opening night is Friday. Opening nights are supposed to be pushed to sellout crowds, hard to push this night. Standards have been lowered again

Agreed. It's telling that the CBA league office, which normally issues a release for any schedule changes, has not said anything about the ABA games as of yet, and it's now just two days before the first one! That probably means that they're having a difficult time actually getting these games scheduled.
And speaking of the schedule, it brings another question(at least for me), why did the league include the Xplosion and promise me that the X would return, if nothing has been heard from the team? There are probably no answers, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

IMO, they did it to keep from hurting you / ticking you off. Not that it is right, but your passion for the X is palpable and I don't think the league wanted to turn such a fervent fan into instant bad press by telling you that your team was toast, so they didn't. And while five teams is still sad, five teams is better than four.

Hang in there. I think its just a matter of time before Pittsburgh gets an ABA team.
LM, I appreciate your observations on it, but I still feel mislead by the CBA so I don't care if they go under, despite my memories of good times.
Wellington, the Xplosion had their best season in the ABA, before switching leagues, so maybe getting another(under improved ownership) would be better! Despite the reputation of the league, the X were among the better teams.
