Christmas was many things to many folks – as always – but for yours truly, one of those things was the first day of the NBA season.
What a day it was. The Knicks actually played defense for the 1st and 4th quarters, which was enough to beat the Celtics 106-104. Dallas saw the raising of their first championship banner; then the Heat thumped them by 11, and it wasn’t really that close! The Lakers choked a home game to Chicago, then saw the other LA team stomp Golden State (welcome to Hollywood, Chris Paul, enjoy your stay). Now the Lakers are looking up at the Clippers – a rare and painful view for Laker fans.
All on day one! Imagine what the rest of the season will bring.
