Game Thread: Christmas Day Games

[bksballer89]

I think this is the best Christmas Day slate we had since they increased the games from 2 to 5.

All of these games are watchable if you're an NBA fan. The Lakers are the only "bad' team involved this year and they're usually very competitive so no issue there.

12 PM EST- Sixers at Knicks/ESPN
3 PM EST- Cavs at Warriors/ABC
530 PM EST- Wizards at Celtics/ABC
8 PM EST- Rockets at Thunder/ABC
1030 PM EST- Wolves at Lakers

You expecting upsets for all but one game?

Well Minnesota are favorites so more like 3 games.

But no CP3 and probably no Capela. Houston defense is trash without those 2. OKC probably going to come out the way they did vs the Warriors and try to make a statement.

Knicks/Sixers is a toss up. Same goes for Wizards/Celtics IMO.

I wouldn’t be surprised if all those went the opposite way either. Some good games

Yeah same here. As I said best set of games since they went to 5 games on Christmas.

I expect all 5 to be close entering the 4th.

Ball is gonna miss the Lakers game. Gotta bum shoulder. Ingram could be out as well (quad, missed the Portland game). That game just got a hell of a lot less fun

Hey man! Not cool.

Minnesota is the lock with the Lakers banged up.

I don't love that there are NFL games today. Going to have to choose between the Steelers/Texans game that will decide my 2 fantasy championships and the 2 best NBA games of the day (for me anyway).

No Christmas jerseys this year. Disappointing

Sixers up 2 at halftime

76ers, Dubs, Thunder, Celtics, Wolves.

Is Curry playing?

If not, I'm taking the Cavs.

Nope no Curry

Kanter balling.

Ron Baker is trash.

They need some upgrades.

Should take a flyer on a guy like Shabazz Muhammad.

Younger, less prolific, Beasley.
