The first game on Christmas Day will have the Chicago Bulls going up against the New York Knicks at 12:00 p.m. ET at the Madison Square Garden, New York, NY. The Bulls-Knicks game will be shown live on ESPN.The Bulls and Knicks have each improved dramatically over last season. Chicago's upgrades came in the form of Carlos Boozer and Tom Thibodeau. Boozer, who missed the first month of the season with a broken foot, has sung as the frontcourt scorer the Bulls have always needed. Boozer has averaged 19 points and eight rebounds this season, helping balance the court with star point guard Derrick Rose. Thibodeau, meanwhile, has turned the team's defense around. The Bulls are third in the league in defense, up from 11th last season.
The second game of the day will be an East Finals Rematch between the Boston Celtics versus the Orlando Magic at 2:30 p.m. ET. at the Amway Center, Orlando, Florida. The Magic have now had three games after the two big trades last weekend, and it seems as though things are coming together. Any time you can beat the Spurs is worth a high-five and double scotch, and Orlando knocked off San Antonio on Thursday night with all three of the high-profile newcomers -- Hedo Turkoglu, Jason Richardson and Gilbert Arenas -- playing pretty well.
Later in the day, the NBA Christmas holiday extravaganza will have the Miami Heat going up against the Los Angeles Lakers at 5 p.m. at the Staples Center, Los Angeles, California. The Heat-Lakers game will be live on ABC. As of posting, the Heat is riding on a 12-game winning streak, while the Lakers is on a five-straight winning run.The granddaddy of the them all! (Or something.) Don't forget that Heat-Lakers used to be a Christmas staple, back when Shaq joined Wade in Miami and feuded with Kobe Bryant. Those games were predicated much more on personal drama than compelling basketball or legit Finals previews. This edition is pure basketball candy: the Heat have been smokin' hot, and the Lakers have won the West three straight years. Assuming Wade plays, Kobe will be forced to take on a huge defensive challenge as Ron Artest shadows King James.
