Lakers-Celtics on Xmas Day

I am going out on a limb because the bleachercoaches crowd is not an NBA crowd, but is anyone else annoyed that this game is on Christmas. If it weren't, it would be a must watch for me. However, I will be stuck at my wife's grandmother's house. Hopefully, the game will be on. As NBA regular season games go, this is as good as it gets. The Celtics-Hawks game the other night was great. This will be even better. I like the Lakers to win and for Kobe to take advantage of the spotlight game.

What time is the game? Im not especially keen on the Lakers, although Kobe is a hell of an athlete. Ill be rooting for those streaking Celtics on this day of our lord dear sweet baby jesus.

As a big Lakers fan who has only missed a couple of their games this season, they aren't playing their best ball right now. They have still found a way to win games. I don't think they are near as good as the Celtics right now. Kobe will have to score 30 and have at least 8 assists for them to beat the Celtics. If the Lakers can get their defense fixed, they have a really good shot at the championship. I say the Celtics win by 5.
