    Adams owns Capela in the Offensive Rebounding category. A good combination of Nene will help

    Here are the 6 color people for the games: Chauncey Billups, Doris Burke, Hubie Brown, Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson and P.J. Carlesimo.
    https://frntofficesport.com/espn-christmas-day-slate/

    In order of importance....
    Guessing JVG+Jackson for GSW/LAL as the prime game
    PHILA/Boston: likely Hubie
    HOU/OKC: Guessing Burke
    NYK/MIL: Guessing Billups
    PDX/Jazz: Guessing Carlesimo. He is at the bottom.

    HA, on further research, looks like I called it

    https://espnmediazone.com/us/press-...or-a-full-day-of-nba-action-on-christmas-day/
    The Christmas Day slate tips off exclusively on ESPN at noon ET with a Madison Square Garden tradition as the New York Knicks and Kevin Knox hosts the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo. This marks Milwaukee’s first Christmas Day game since 1977. Ryan Ruocco will provide commentary with analyst Chauncey Billups and reporter Tom Rinaldi.

    Christmas action continues as reigning NBA MVP James Harden and the Houston Rockets hosts 2017 NBA MVP Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder at 3 p.m. Dave Pasch and analyst Doris Burke will call the game live from Houston. Following the battle of MVPs, Mark Jones will provide commentary with analyst Hubie Brown and reporter Israel Gutierrez at 5:30 p.m. for the ABC Eastern Conference matchup, as Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers visits Kyrie Irving and the Boston Celtics.

    The prime-time game will feature the highly anticipated showdown between the defending NBA Champion Golden State Warriors, led by Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry and the Los Angeles Lakers, led by LeBron James. The game airs at 8 p.m. on ESPN and ABC, and marks the Lakers’ 20th consecutive Christmas Day game. Mike Breen will provide play-by-play with analysts Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson live from Oracle Arena, with reporter Lisa Salters.

    The five-game lineup concludes when Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers visits Donovan Mitchell and the Utah Jazz at 10:30 p.m. on ESPN. Adam Amin and P.J. Carlesimo will call the action with reporter Jorge Sedano.

    Wow, that was an impressive prediction.

    As long as we didn’t get Hubie, I was good with all of them.

    I am a pretty big Dorris Burke fan.....but just remember, Doris really likes her some Westbrook.

    Thunder are unfortunately just a better team this season. Expecting a loss tomorrow, but hopefully the squad to can step up on Christmas. We shall see. We need a win like this.

    Are we just going to ignore that Westbrook is averaging a triple double?

    Are we going to ignore that Westbrook is averaging 20ppg while shooting 60% in FTs and 24% in 3pt percentage?

    How in the world are Rockets favoured? That’s awfully generous no?
