Post your ideal Christmas day lineup

[Nero Christ]

Now that we know where all the major pieces will be, time to play commissioner and set up the X-mas day games. So 5 games and 10 teams.

Mine are:
Nets at Celtics - Kyrie's first game back
Rockets at GS - Houston's first game at new arena
Clippers vs Lakers - first battle for LA
Bucks vs Sixers - Giannis vs Embiid
Jazz vs Blazers

Clippers Lakers
Bucks 76ers

[Lootpack]

[El Coupeacabra]

Bucks @ Celtics - 12pm
Clippers @ Sixers - 3pm
Rockets @ Mavericks - 6pm
Warriors @ Lakers - 9:30pm

**Central time

That's too many west coast teams I know. The ragly ass Knicks or Bulls will prob get one instead of the Mavs

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Suns vs Grizzlies

 

[Auger]

Y'all know the Knicks are getting a matinee game right?

It's been damn near mandatory at this point.

and the Raps just won the chip, so NBA will throw Toronto a bone.

So I'm guessing Raptors @ Knicks 12pm EST.

 

[qnsfinest]

There’s no way the NBA is not gonna do both NY and LA teams against each other.

Nets at Knicks- 12pm
Sixers at bucks- 230pm
Warriors at rockets- 5pm
Lakers at clippers- 8pm
Celtics vs blazers- 1030pm

5 teams from each conference.

 

[Francium]

How I think it’ll go given the NBA usually misses on these.

Knicks v Heat
Raptors v Bucks
Rockets v Sixers
Lakers v Nets
Warriors v Clippers

 

[El Guapo]

Sixers at Raptors. Defending Champs usually get a Christmas game and the Raps should still be a good team. Sixers over the Bucks in this one because of the Sixers being a bigger market than the Bucks.
Pelicans at Knicks. Zion vs. RJ. Zion at the Garden. All Zion all the time!
Lakers at Clippers. Main event. LBJ and AD vs. Kawhi and PG.
Nuggets at Warriors. I put the Nuggets here as I think it would be a chance to see Jokic, Murray, and all their young guys in a big spotlight game against a team that's been the talk of the NBA for the last 5 years. Plus no KD and Klay means this might not be the ass kicking it was last year that one time.

 

[Maude]

We don't need to see the Knicks to ruin Christmas. They game should be local only

 

[smitty22]

[the cool]

Y’all some terrible schedulers

Knicks been getting the first game on christmas for like 10 years straight. So first game obviously is

Knicks vs Mavs.


No one gonna watch raptors bucks. Raptors is a lottery team next season ( yes I know last years champs always gets game).

Bucks sixers is second game.


Lakers clippers (obvious)

Warriors Houston


Pelicans vs portland. Late game. It’s either Portland or Utah that gets the late west coast game


Or you could switch pelicans and Mavs. Cac luka will play on Christmas one way or the other. NBA pushing him hard

 

[distinguishedNOW]

Battle of LA gonna be a lock for the 5pm ABC slot.

Ratings for that will be wild.

 

[BlackAchilles]

Nets at Celtics

Raptors at Sixers

Bucks at Pels

Dubs at Blazers

LA Derby
