Robbed of warriors vs kings
>76ers@Heat
👀
Lakers and Celtics sign me up
Well my Christmas is already ruined
fuuuuuuuuuuck boston
Warriors @ Nuggets is going to fucking rule
I’m surprise they actually doing Celtics/Lakers for Christmas.
Noice lineup
Luka gets his chance to own the Suns again
All good games
LETS FUCKING GO CELTICS AT LAKERS
Nobody cares about the mid Knicks
Celtics get kind of screwed having to spend Christmas on the other side of the country. Nice matchups all around though
The 8 teams that made the second round plus the Mavs and Bucks. Seems reasonable.
So the Kings just did all that last year to not have a Christmas game ???
Warriors vs Kings would’ve been nice
Mavericks v Suns are gonna be must watch games all season long. Luka + Kyrie vs KD + Book. So many storylines and obviously great players. Their regular season game last year was amazing.
Mavs Suns should be fun and not toxic
Nice schedule but the NFL is going to hurt the NBA Christmas Day ratings this year.
Warriors with the last game of the night, I’ll have to juggle that and the 49ers ravens game
Celtics/Lakers 🔥🔥🔥
Bucks at Knicks is weird lol
Should’ve been bucks and heat
Kings robbed
Mavs @ Suns!
Knicks back
Versus the best team in the west opening night then the best team in the east on Christmas smh
Celtics Vs Lakers let’s go!
Based on the NFL games in the same markets, im gonna guess the game times are this:
12:00 ET MIL @ NY
2:30 ET PHI @ MIA
5:00 ET GS @ DEN
8:00 ET BOS @ LAL
10:30 ET DAL @ PHX
Just let the Nuggets play before 8:30 man we always get the late game
The Athletic @ Stadium should be a good one 🎄
Boo, we want Det v Hou
Should be Kings/Warriors the only good playoff series this year.
i find it hilarious that we’re the only team here that didn’t make the playoffs or playin..luka and kyrie move the needle
Give us Kings and Warriors you cowards
Wait Lakers actually get a good Christmas game again? Fuck yeah.
Thank you Santa Silver for some father son time to show us the true meaning of Christmas!
Why the fuck do the Mavs get a Christmas Day game for missing the playoffs
First 2 games are boring
Not having a Kings v Warriors rematch is a failure in scheduling
It would be better if it was:
Curry (GSW) vs LeBron (LAL)
MVP (76ers) vs FMVP (DEN)
Heat vs Celtics
Then leave the rest.
Warriors @ Nuggets? This reminded me that the Warriors still don’t have a decent big man in the team
This sucks. How do they really mess this up? At the very least it should’ve been Celtics vs Heat (come on this was an obvious choice how did they mess this up, they’ve played each other in like the last 3/4 conference finals to game 7 like almost every time). The Celtics vs lakers rivalry means nothing these days like it used to, they’re trying too hard to force it. Thought Celtics Heat game was a lock at this point considering that.
Also Knicks literally could play any other team and it would be better, bucks and knicks literally have no rivalry. I think 76ers should be removed and Cavs Knicks would be a good game. Especially considering harden is leaving Philly. Have lakers play bucks.
Ideal would be:
Celtics vs Heat
Lakers vs bucks
Knicks vs Cavs
Suns vs Mavericks
Nuggets vs Warriors
Or instead Lakers Vs warriors (curry vs Lebron) and Nuggets vs bucks (battle of the 2 best players in the league).
Somehow they managed to mess 60% of the games up.
