Gawd Damn these Christmas match ups are garbage :scust:

[Osmosis]

the NBA is kinda in general right now

outside of the Warriors, Spurs, Thunder & Cavs its straight status:

speak for your bulls.. fans of most of the other eastern conference teams are having the most fun in awhile

 

[The God Poster]

I will say it's been a pleasure watching tyreke play very well since coming back from injury

 

[Smoking With Cigarettes]

dont think the league thought the pelicans and bulls would be struggling the way they are....i mean, if chi was playing good, that matchup against the thunder would be good....the same goes for the pelicans vs heat...that had potential to be a good game....

as for the lakers, it's kobe's farewell tour, so of course they gonna put him on tv...probably picked the clips since they in la too and they have a couple stars....probably wouldve gone with the spurs, but were probably scared pop would pull some shyt and 'rest' the starters/stars lol.....

They shoulda put Lakers vs Heat at noon, have Cavs vs Dubs at that final slot(assuming dubs are at home) then pelicans vs clippers at that 5 pm slot

Edit: Forget that. Clips/Thunder then Pels/Bulls. Woulda been a nice slow build

 

[Big Boss]

becoming unwatchable

 

[Sauce Dab]

Yeah the NBA took an L with these matchups. That's what they get for guessing.
I don't care that this is Kobe's going away season. The fact they keep throwing them on TV is . I mean it's not even enjoyable watching that team. They should've done Cavs/Heat like the old days.
Spurs/Warriors
And maybe OKC/Wizards for fukkery purposes

 

[Tide Run This]

Too many games should be 3 max 2 for ABC and one on ESPN or TNT depending on the date Christmas falls. Don't need to see no struggle ass teams like New Orleans getting Christmas slot and enough is enough with the fukking Lakers getting Christmas slot every year.

Best matchups for this season

Cavs/Warriors
Spurs/Clippers
Thunder/Heat or Thunder/Bulls

 

[pete clemenza]

Theirs no parity , theirs a lot more middle of the road teams

yeah parity

They put the best game on at 5pm because that's when people are eating in front of the TV. By the time it's 8pm and after, people are getting ready for the next day.

Cant put Lakers on at Noon because people in California are still sleeping at this time. They're also awful. They have the biggest fanbase though so the league buries them in the latest slot so they wont get complaints about the most popular team not having a Xmas game

 

[GoldenGlove]

to be honest, this nba season as a whole has been

maybe cause its still early but god damn, every game has been zzzz status.

[Romey Rome]

Knicks at home vs lakers
Okc at home vs pacers or clippers
Clippers at home vs Spurs
Bulls at home vs heat
Warriors at home vs cavs
I'd watch every game if this was the schedule.

 

[fifth column]

Shoulda put Pacers/Heat andThunder/Spurs

Good point

 

[Primetime21]

At least they didn't put the Knicks on

 

[DonKnock]

Man I don't think so. I'm loving the nba right now. But yeah there's only 2 elite teams

Yea, I find myself enjoying Hornets games

Who would've thought that last season

 

[Dilltastic VolWon(derful)]

Honestly they should try to push the rookies from the past few drafts and make those the matchups (Bucks, Wolves) (Knicks, Lakers) and then just have the NBA finals rematchup to close it out.
