Sunday is Christmas, which means the NBA season really starts for all those who have been paying too much attention to other sports. To help you folks catch up, we dialed our friend Michael Pina of a zillion websites to preview the five-game slate.
Among the topics discussed:
- Celtics-Knicks! Is everything alright with Boston, or did they just get derailed by early injuries? Plus, happy Kristaps Porzingis talk and a rude interruption by Pina’s doorbell.
- Warriors-Cavs! Does either team have anything to prove? Is there any reason to worry about the Cavs after J.R. Smith’s injury and their so-so defense? How will Kevin Durant’s presence alter this rivalry? Can these teams please give us a clue about NBA Finals strategy instead of holding back?
- Bulls-Spurs! Eh let’s move on.
- Timberwolves-Thunder! Did the NBA make a mistake putting the Wolves on Christmas Day before they proved anything?
- Clippers-Lakers! What happens to Blake Griffin after this latest injury? Is it time to wonder if we’ve seen the best of him? How good is Brandon Ingram?
