Good morning! Merry Christmas! A long slate of NBA games today begins with the Knicks hosting the Wizards. J.R. Smith is out and sad about it:
Iman Shumpert obviously isn't playing, but he got his shots up (and dunking?!). Here's who IS playing and starting:

There you go. If you dare watch the Knicks on this festive holiday, come on in here and comment along. Let's make "Cole in his stocking" jokes! Tip-off is at noon on ESPN, and Bullets Forever can be found here. Please don't post large photos, GIFs, or links to illegal streams in the thread. Even on Christmas.
New thread and a recap from MMiranda after the final buzzer, and I'm sure some of us will still be around to hang out throughout the afternoon and evening of games. Enjoy! Relax! Don't let the national broadcast get you down! Put some ping-pong balls in your stocking for good luck! That's how stockings work, right!?
