Merry Christmas! Along with the trees, decorations, and big guy in the red suit, there is one other tradition. Â Christmas Day basketball! Â The first game of the day is a new rivalry between the Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets. Â The last time these two teams met, it got ugly. Â 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. Â Â Both of these teams are desperate for a win. Â Paul Pierce thinks this could be the game to start turning things around. Â 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. Â I think the Celtics will take this one, but not by much. Â Christmas Game 1, Nets vs. Celtics, who you takin?
