- Noon - Bulls @ Knicks - ESPN - Entertaining game between 2 playoff teams in the East... and there's always a chance Derrick Rose could throw up some historic numbers against that putrid Knicks defense...
- 2:30 - Celtics @ Magic - ABC - A helluva warm-up to the primetime game... Orlando is coming off a waxing of San Antonio, and look to be clicking a bit, but they haven't seen anything like the Celtics defense...
- 5:00 - Heat @ Lakers - ABC - Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Kobe, Gasol.... all in LA... this has been circled since the schedule came out, and should be very, very interesting... Kobe and Lebron both usually get up for these type of games, but the key IMO is whether Gasol can take full advantage of the sub-standard Heat front line...
- 8:00 Hour - Here's where the options diverge... Nuggets @ Thunder at 8:00 on ESPN is a nice game, but you may be NBA'd out by then... I won't be, but there are other options.... Cowboys @ Cardinals at 7:30 on NFL Network is a pretty putrid game, but chances are, if you have fantasy implications (cough, me) you'll be keeping an eye on it... and for some reason, if you are a college hoops head? Florida State/Baylor at 7:30 on ESPN2...
- Late night - 9:30 features Wazzu/Butler on ESPN2 which is a very nice game despite them being unranked... Butler looks much better lately, and Wazzu is an entertaining team these days... and 10:30 gives us Blazers @ Warriors on ESPN... This one gets knocked down a bit by the absence of Brandon Roy, but it looks like Stephen Curry will play, and that will get eyes to the TV....
Don't forget to check out the NFL Preview! Enjoy the games... and Merry Christmas!
