Presumptuous? Probably. Oh well. Anyway, longtime friend of the show Michael Pina (@MichaelVPina) of a thousand different basketball websites joins Ben Epstein (@EppyBen) and Mike Prada (@MikePradaSBN) to preview the NBA's five-day Christmas slate.
1:50: Knicks-Celtics. Is there something wrong in Boston, or do the Celtics just need to get healthy? And let's talk about Kristaps, because that's fun.
13:53: Warriors-Cavs. Finals rematch! Are these teams going to show their hands to each other? Is there any reason to worry about some of Cleveland's recent wobbles? How much will Kevin Durant alter this rivalry? Who has more to prove?
24:05: Bulls-Spurs. Ugh, this game's gonna be bad, isn't it? Let's move on.
28:50: Timberwolves-Thunder. Mostly, we talk about whether the NBA made a mistake putting the Wolves on Christmas.
34:57: Clippers-Lakers. Blake Griffin's injuries are scary, aren't they? Have we seen the best of him already? What happens if the Clippers hang in there again with him out? Plus, what do we think of Brandon Ingram so far?
