Hope you all had a Merry Christmas. I sure did hanging out with family and friends and having a good time. So did many fans watching the first NBA games of the season.
The start of the NBA Season was the gift to the sports world as five games were played on Christmas day. A special gift went to the Dallas Mavericks as they were finally able to put up their first championship banner. Pity that Dallas' Christmas party was crashed by the same team the Mavs beat to get the banner: the Miami Heat. The Heat would win this one, 105-94. King James had 37 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists while his teammate, Dwayne Wade, didn't do too bad himself with 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists. Good showing by the Heat.
Other games included the Knicks barely edging out the Celtics in MSG, 106-104. The celebs came out to see their Knicks play and got to see Carmelo Anthony put up 37 points in the win. In LA, the Bulls managed to pull off a win against the Lakers, 88-87, thanks to a great shot by Derrick Rose near the end. Looks like the MVP is already showing why he deserved that extended contract. Also featured were the Thunder defeating the Orlando Magic, 97-89, and the LA Clippers beating the Golden State Warriors, 105-86, with Chris Paul making his Clips debut.
A fair day of basketball to start off the season and to celebrate Christmas. As for my 2012 NBA Season prediction, why bother? I thought there wouldn't be a season to speak of. So much for the Vacancies winning the title this year.
