So far we only know of Pelicans- Heat Cavs-Warriors I hope rockets play on christmas day my guess is againsts clippers, spurs or thunder
Pelicans-Heat? Waste of a slot to be honest. I don't think the general NBA fanbase cares about that game.
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-....?
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.

This would be a complete waste of a Christmas game. TNT won't be happy. The NBA needs to stop worshiping 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.
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.
