Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and yours. As a special gift from - not us, but... - Adam Silver, we get a Brooklyn Nets vs. Los Angeles Lakers matchup.
Unfortunately, the Lakers stink-ish this year. LeBron James is trying to find his. rhythm this season, with Russell Westbrook doing Russell Westbrook things; meanwhile, Anthony Davis is injured because, well, it’s 2021. Darren Collison came out of retirement to sign with the Lakers because, well, it’s 2021.
For the Nets, they’ll have James Harden back in the lineup, but will be without Kevin Durant.
