Merry Christmas! Along with the trees, decorations, and big guy in the red suit, there is one other tradition. Christmas Day basketball! The first game of the day is a new rivalry between the Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets. The last time these two teams met, it got ugly. We all remember the pushing fight between Rajon Rondo and Mr. Kim Kardashian, I mean Kris Humphries.
Boston comes to Brooklyn and is looking to end a five road game losing streak and they have already lost to Brooklyn in both match-ups. Both of these teams are desperate for a win. Paul Pierce thinks this could be the game to start turning things around. Kris Humphries is also looking to get things going for himself as he was replaced in the starting line up on Sunday by Keith Bogans.
I cannot imagine Brooklyn sweeping the Celtics this year and the Celtics are much better in big game situations. I think the Celtics will take this one, but not by much. Christmas Game 1, Nets vs. Celtics, who you takin?
