Heat/Lakers To Play On Christmas

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Is it a for sure that 2 games will be played on Christmas this season? Isn't the NFL playing on Christmas this season. That might change some minds in the NBA office. And I think the Cowboys are one of those teams. Mavs and Spurs might both be at home on Christmas if the NBA is smart.

Damn right! The Cowboys are gonna kick the Eagles ass! That will be a personal Christmas gift from TO to Donovan.

I would think a Cleveland vs Miami game would be more popular now, with the whole Lebron vs D Wade thing.

I'd just as soon SA gets to stay home so the players can spend Christmas with their families.

Heat/Lakers is a waste. especially if its in Miami, cause kobe never played for the Heat.

Cleveland/detroit to start it off.

Dallas/SA to cap off the second double header. that would be perfect

I can start planning my Kobe vs. Shaq party!!!!

I can start taking bets on whether Kobe and Shaq hug, ignore, or kiss each other!!!!!!

What a great Christmas present!!!! Thanks Mr. Stern!

The Spurs aren't playing on Christmas Day this year. They play on New Year's Eve again, but they're at home this time.

Wait, is next season's schedule out or something? How do you guys know when these games will be?

[ponky]

Yep. I believe Thursday, to be exact.

YAY!!! I didn't think they were out this early but then again, I actually woke up this morning wondering when they would be out so I guess my subconscious remembered.

I heard Tuesday, but there are some rough draft schedules floating around.

IIRC, the NBA usually releases the regular season schedule the last Thursday of July. Or, at least they have in the past. It makes sense seeing that word of the Heat/Lakers game on Christmas was leaked.

That said, don't hold me to it. I have a tendency to look bad at times. Like, suggesting something that was already done.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be released on Tuesday, August 1. NBATV is doing a 1-hour special that evening.
