We finally get to play on Christmas!

[Dnice]

I'm sure that's the first game on a crowded slate. It's like a bone thrown. By night time  the early game is pushed aside, and the 1030 game  is for the fans of those teams mainly, as several has to go to work in tge morning. 

Still a good look.

I have this game on VHS, Cavs at Hawks. I remember having to tape it as a kid, and go to the movies to see, 

 

Look whose talking? 
 

I remember watching the first quarter live and Spud and Nique were doing it. No Rivers that game I think he was hurt.

 

Wow.. over 30 years..

Considering it's New York, it'll probably be a midday game. I'm not sure how the Christmas schedule works though. 

10am, it’ll be the kickoff game I’d assume.10am pacific time sorry im laying in the Pacific Ocean as I type this.

We choose the right media Giant to punch in the Mouth.  Had we beat Milwaukee in the first round instead of NY, we would not be on TV on Christmas day.

Like I said before... this is our New Rival. 

 

It can’t be they aren’t good enough.

Bucks/Sixers

Ooops nevermind, I was appx 21 months old then lol

I would have beaten you one on one then for sure. I was 12 and a half and a real bruiser in the paint.

I’m getting conflicting reports it was @marco102 who predicted this.

Must see TV.

Also, it’s cool that Woj is leading with Trae and the Hawks playing in the Garden.  Basically means the first game being announced for next season is with the Hawks.  The other Christmas games are foot notes

I hope it is respect, but I suspect it is merely an attempt to boost ratings since the "villain" storyline with Trae will be compelling to many national viewers. 

Grinch storylines practically write themselves here.

Might as well get ready for it.  It's gonna be insufferable.

As we were progressing through the playoffs, I advised folks to get ready for opposing fans to hate us even more than they already do.

I don't know about y'all but ...

Luka vs Trae on opening week

The NBA does such a great job of filling in offseason down time.

Finals, right in to the draft, right in to Summer League, now they are leaking key schedule dates.

It's like the gifts that keep on giving lol

I hate the ‘Celts way more, but Hawks/Knickerbockers is the rivalry we (and the NBA) has needed for a while
