The 2015 NBA season is about 3 months away from tipping off and reports have already surfaced on the NBA package of 2015 Christmas Day games. It has become a tradition for the NBA’s biggest and brightest stars to be showcased on Christmas Day and that theme will continue this.
Although the full schedule will drop later on this week, we now know three of the five games to be featured on ESPN and ABC. The New Orleans Pelicans will face the Miami Heat, the Los Angeles Lakers will face the Los Angeles Clippers and Stephen Curry and Lebron James will meet in a 2015 NBA finals rematch as the Golden State Warriors will face the Cleveland Cavs.
According to yahoo.com,
The full 2015-16 NBA schedule has yet to be released, but according to several early reports, the league’s calendar-makers have already three matchups as part of the league’s annual Christmas Day showcase.
Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reported Wednesday that “a tentative schedule that has been circulating around the league” includes the Miami Heat hosting the New Orleans Pelicans in the 12 p.m. ET kickoff of the 2015 Christmas marathon. ESPN.com’s Marc Stein followed that up on Thursday, reporting that “LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are tentatively scheduled to visit Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors” in a rematch of the 2015 NBA Finals, which the Warriors won in six games, “as a headliner of its annual Christmas Day slate.” Then came Friday’s report from Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times that the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers will both be staying home for the holidays, squaring off at Staples Center “in a Laker home game.” (Bresnahan also has the Lakers suiting up at home on New Year’s Day against the Philadelphia 76ers.)
Looks like the NBA has a nice gift prepared for their fans. Stay tuned to HHS1987 for all your NBA news.
