Christmas Lineup: Heat vs. Cavs, Lakers vs. Suns, Sonics vs. Blazers

Merry Christmas to everyone out there. I hope you all are enjoying the holidays and watching the classic "Christmas Vacation" at least once.

Right now the NBA's Christmas Day offering is looking a little weak. When the schedule makers were creating the match ups during the offseason I am sure that they were drooling with the thought of seeing LeBron vs. Wade, Kobe vs. Nash, and Durant vs. Oden.

Thanks to the Heat and Cavs struggling and Greg Oden being out for the season the Lakers vs. Suns game is the only one that is really generating any excitement. And really, the Mike D'Antoni vs. Phil Jackson angle is fueling most of the Lakers vs. Suns anticipation.

I am sure that all teams involved will bring their best effort, knowing that the national spotlight will be on them. Still, why couldn't we see another truly exciting rivalry like Mavs vs. Warriors? Or why not go old school and give us LA vs. Boston?

Maybe next year. Merry Christmas, check back tomorrow for more updates. And make sure to subscribe to the Unpossiblog using the link below!
