Did the NBA Get the Christmas Day Schedule RIGHT?
Episode Ep 3301 29 min 32s
The NBA has revealed its Christmas Day and Opening Week schedules, and Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize are handing out their first reviews. Did the league get its five-game Christmas showcase right with Spurs-Knicks, Heat-Celtics, 76ers-Lakers, Thunder-Timberwolves and Nuggets-Warriors? Which teams got snubbed, which matchups should be swapped and what does the schedule tell us about which teams and stars the NBA believes matter most? Then the guys go through what they like—and don't like—about Opening Week, including earlier start times and the NBA's continued insistence on putting major East Coast audiences through late-night Warriors-Lakers games. Finally, it's back to the Rotation Lab to tackle the LA Clippers. Assuming Kawhi Leonard ends up in Toronto, what does the Clippers' opening-night lineup look like, how deep is their rotation and what should their goals be without Kawhi?
