And just in the nick of time, enough BRK Nets players clear protocol to play the Lakers on Christmas Day.

It's a Christmas miracle!

Rudy Gobert is defensive player of the year. He stopped his team from getting COVID-19 :lol:

The Lakers last game in The Forum came against the Spurs in 1999.

The Lakers last game in "The Staples Center" comes against the Spurs as well

PIstons only have 1 starter (Bey) available to play tonight. They aren't good with their starters to that 73 point blowout record could be in play tonight. Miami also likely mad they let Detroit beat them a few days ago. Should/could get real ugly tonight.

Watching Harris on the 76ers and I think he's becoming the worst contract in the league. Anyone know why he has fallen off this season? Was Ben critical for getting this guy shots?

The Sixers fans really have lost their patience with the team. They were booing the team out of the build in the first quarter and it looks like the Sixers heard to message loud and clear and responded in the 2nd quarter. Sixers should end up winning this game by double digits especially with no Capela, Huerter and Trae.

Brandon truly could be great. The guy is special. I would not be surprised to see him as a lead scorer on a top team ala Booker. He tends to flake out at the end of games, and his defense is still questionable. But the guy is so so good.

Another game and another day of Ingram showing the dude is so damn good and is getting wasted away down in NO. Take away the time he was getting over his hip injury, the dude has been so freaking good this year.

Someone trade for this guy.
