How did they get their schedule before we did. But it will be super cool to watch the Magic game on Christmas day.

theres the respect that everyone b!tches about... a game on christmas day is big time publicity... good for the magic

Except the Magic organization being deeply Christian, will not and have not liked this in the past.

The Magic used to play in Christmas when Tmac was here.

I didn't say they didn't play, but thats ok. I can remember the organization complaining about this in the past. Even to the extent that they have attempted to have it changed.

I'm not Christian so I don't care. I was just making the statement because of how the Magic have responded to this in the past.

I hadn't heard anything about Devos being upset with Christmas games. IIRC, even before the T-Mac Christmas games, the Magic played on Christmas when Shaq was on the team. It would seem that the ownership is ok with it.

It is nice to see the Magic get such a prime spot. Now we can reasonably expect a decent number of nationally televised games throughout the season.

i'm going to bill this as the matchup of the two hottest young teams in each conference. it's probably a claim that i can't backup, but i will make it anyway.

Yeah the last Christmas game the Magic had was against the Cavs, Tmac vs Lebron that was one hell of a game

Looks like I will be leaving the family on Christmas Day to go watch that one lol. It said it will probably be a night game so early Christmas dinner and then go to the game. Sounds great.

At least we are finally going to get more exposure around the league and hopefully we have lots of games on national TV.

Ah, I was wondering how you found out if it was home or away, and then on a second reading realized that I'm an idiot and somehow just overlooked it.
