    Pelicans-Heat? Waste of a slot to be honest. I don't think the general NBA fanbase cares about that game.

    I wanna see Clippers at Mavs. Jordan get booed, then Cuban crying after the blowout loss.

    I think Rockets-Clippers and Spurs-Thunder are easy choices. I wouldn't think any other eastern team would be considered. Last spot maybe Grizzlies-....?

    I hope we play the Thunder, simply because I love hearing people talk about the Harden trade.

    The Clippers have played the Warriors the last few years for XMas so they will finally get a new opponent this year. My guess is that the Clippers play the Spurs on XMas since their first round series was the most competitive and well played series of the entire playoffs last year.

    Bulls will play on Christmas--too big a fan base to ignore them.

    I would like to see a Rockets-Spurs game on Christmas again. They always are really close games.

    This would be a complete waste of a Christmas game. TNT won't be happy.

    The NBA needs to stop worshiping the Lakers.

    the Lakers"

    Well, if it follows form, we will be on the road. We were vs. San Antonio, and we were vs. Chicago in past years.

    I don't care who the grizzlies play or when they play them, frankly.

    All I care about is hardware.

    Man, those alternate unis we wore for that Xmas game vs the Bulls a couple years ago were so nice. They were mostly silver with some red & white accents, if i remember correctly. One of the only spins on our current uni/logo set-up that I've really liked.

    Los Angeles is a huge market though. Apparently there are always high ratings for Laker Christmas games.

    Same with the Knicks.

    Rockets vs Mavs could be solid.
