Christmas Day games this year are kinda blah, except the Finals rematch.

Celtics/Knicks
Bulls/Spurs
T Wolves/Thunder
Clips/Lakers

RW is going to get the MVP this year. I think he deserves it even if LBJ is the vastly superior player.

What do the metrics say about the top players (I don't know, just wondering)

It's only 210.5 which seems really low and so I'm not going to bet it.

Not that they are the best scoring teams but I just feel a good majority of this game is going to be all-star game like with minimal defense a huge high flying highlights.

I hope Westbrook puts on a damn show.

I thought the Lakers might have a chance against the Clips, without CP3 and Blake. But that was one of the worst defensive performances I've seen. Somehow, no idea how, they are only down 4.

Welp...Lakers up 16 nearing the end of the 3rd. 28-9 scoring lead for the Lakers in the 3rd so far. And doing it on the defensive end.

Lakers were fun to watch early in the season when they were rolling. Was good to see Swaggy back to an NBA player as well.
