What games are featured in the NBA Christmas Day preview?
Ho, ho, ho, and Merry Christmas to all of our NBA Daily listeners. I'm your guest host, Andrew Schleck, today. We're going to preview the NBA games on Christmas Day along for this sleigh ride with me. That's probably too much. Dave DeFore.
Hey. Hey.
Merry Christmas.
Santa's little helper. Happy holidays.
Happy holidays. Very important because there's a lot of holidays right now.
Absolutely.
Happy holidays, everybody.
It's true. We are previewing the Christmas Day games here. To help us, thanks to the NBA, they sent us this red box, which if you're watching on YouTube, I recommend you watch this on YouTube. You can listen to it We'll do our best to tell you everything that's going on here. But this is very much a YouTube-y show. So be sure to tune in on our YouTube channel. Subscribe to our YouTube channel as well. We are going to use this box. I don't even quite know what's in it. And so I teased this on social. I'm very curious to open this box to see what's going on here because it's going to help us preview the slate of NBA games here. So... I'm going to open this up. I'm excited. Shout out to the NBA. And see what's in here.
Thank you, NBA. Oh, okay. So first thing we have here. Oh, okay. I'm going to use this for our... After our break, we're going to use these photos. Okay, so I am unwrapping this. And oh my goodness. Okay, first thing that I see in here are a bunch of hats.
I believe Andrew is... being drafted right now.
I'm being drafted by so many teams. Okay. So we've got hats for, looks like all the Christmas day games here. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Sweet.
It does look like all of the draft hats, by the way.
It does. Yeah. Pretty sweet. Okay. Oh, that Nick's hat. That's nice. Okay. So I will bring these hats back out. Oh, we got a thunder dad hat. Nice. Check it out. Okay.
That feels like pandering. That is pandering a little bit.
Yeah, they know me way too well.
And what's the Spurs hat look like? The Spurs hat. Clear anti-Spurs bias here.
What unique items are unboxed to symbolize the Christmas Day games?
I don't think so.
What do you mean?
Oh, it's fine. Okay. That's a nice hat.
You weren't excited about it.
I'm not going to lie. The Knicks hat looks the best if you're watching on YouTube.
That's 100 percent. Yeah. The Cavs hat doesn't look too good. Similar to the team. OK. All right. So what I have in here, I believe, are ornaments. OK, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to open these ornaments and then we will discuss what these ornaments mean. OK, so it's going to give us a hint toward a Christmas Day game. So the very first ornament I'm opening. Let's see. Oh, can you see this? Is that a Grinch? No, it's not a Grinch. Let me see it not shiny on here.
Oh, it's an alien in a spaceship.
It's a little alien in that. Who are we previewing for the little alien? Of course, Victor Wembanyama. Victor Wembanyama against the Oklahoma City Thunder at 2.30 Eastern time here in OKC. I will be there. So... If you're there, we'd love to see you. I would love to wish you a Merry Christmas in person. What are we looking for, guys, in this Thunder Spurs matchup? It's become more heated thanks to the Cup. Oh, yeah. And I am really looking forward to it. So we'll start with you, Dave. What are the things you're most looking forward to seeing on Christmas Day here in OKC?
Well, we we dug into this a little bit on the show the other day where we talked about how this this rivalry is growing out of that one game from the cup. It'll be nice to see this again at full strength. You know, they play the other night and no Wemby. So we didn't get to see a full fledged rematch. But I'm excited to see what it looks like in OKC. In front of that crowd, I mean, that arena is fantastic. Oh, yeah. As a viewer at home, it's great, but in the building, it's even better. To watch them see a team that they know can beat the Thunder. I'm excited for that. What does the crowd feel like? Are they on edge the entire time? We know what these teams are going to be like. The Thunder resting guys, getting them ready for this Christmas Day game, and really for both games.
And the Spurs probably still feeling like they need to prove themselves quite a bit, even though they're the two seed.
