According to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, Cavs/Lakers to play on Christmas

[SabresRule]

Cleveland Cavaliers expected to open against Boston Celtics; face L.A. Lakers on Christmas - cleveland.com

HD, this is no surprise for me- when the Shaq trade became official, I actually predicted they'd play the Lakers on Christmas Day, saying that the starpower would be too much to ignore.

Now, will it be played at STAPLES or The Q?

BTW, I will make a bold prediction- this game will draw a double-digit rating.

Hopefully this will be an NBA Final Preview....

Also, just heard the Cavs opening game opponent....

Cleveland will host the Boston Celtics on Oct. 27 in a game set for TNT.

The bleeding will (hopefully) stop, starting October 27th. At least this city has the Cavs to look forward to. Come on NBA season, get here already!!!

Cleveland Cavaliers release Kinsey; schedule may open vs. Celtics, with Christmas in L.A. - cleveland.com

I'll be watching the Bolts/Titans game instead. That one should be a war, like it has been for the last few years.

Will Lebron walk out again when they lose at Staples?? Maybe this time he can hold hands with Shaq and do it together..

Hopefully this will be an NBA Final Preview....

LMAO..

I thought the headliner on Christmas was supposed to by the 2 Finalist....As seen, the network still gives little respect to the "other" team....

There's no written "rule" as to who plays on Christmas, keemosabi.

Lol. Maybe the Browns will be a pleasant surprise. You just never know with the NFL.

No there isn't but usually, it has been the two finalist. But since were are now all about Lebron when it comes to the NBA...well....that makes things better....?

BTW, Salsa, you're probably familiar with your teams playing on the 25th- after all, Miami played on XMas Day a lot.

I think Shaq vs. Kobe has a lot to do with it...it always has.

As the 2nd game...the one time they played as the main game was AFTER they won the NBA Championship....if I remember correctly.
