Lakers will face the Heat on Christmas Day

[RobToxin]

This isnt about if the Lakers can keep up with the Heat, its about the LA market that will give the NBA the good ratings.

But if the NBA was smart, the bigger matchup would be Lakers vs Rockets. Do you know how much drama there would be leading up to that game with Howard returning?

There isnt a matchup that would top it

This is why the Dallas Cowboys, despite just one playoff win in 17 years, get the most prime time marquee games of anyone.

Because more people watch the Cowboys, no matter if they are good or shitty.

Dress the entire Charlotte Bobcats or Hornets or whatever they are called in Laker uniforms ....

and people will watch.

These are matchups for basketball fans who want to see how these teams will matchup later.

This is for story lines.

This would just be a hard fought game coming down to the wire.

The NBA always went for the drama on christmas day matchups, I'm disapointed. Give me Lakers/Rockets with Dwight Howard returning into that madhouse

Typical Laker fan...thinks the world revolves round them. Outside of LA and Houston along with national Lakers fans, no one would care.....Lebron brings the rest of America to watch and hence why god TV. Heat v. lakers has been a huge draw!

I disagree with this. The Lakers are like the cowboys & yankees of the NFL & MLB. The Lakers will always draw big ratings especially when they're at home

Well, if this was for the LA market, then why not put the Clippers on?
