Welcome to the Recreation Thread. Veterans of the Recreation Thread know the way we do issues round right here, however for all you newbies now we have a couple of guidelines. Our group pointers apply and principally say be cool, no private assaults, don’t troll and don’t swear an excessive amount of.
It’s Christmas Day, and the primary order of enterprise after opening the presents is to activate the TV for the standard December 25 NBA slate of video games. First up is the San Antonio Spurs towards the New York Knicks in Madison Sq. Backyard. The Spurs are on the second sport of a 4 sport highway journey, which began off in an inauspicious vogue Monday towards the Philadelphia 76ers who took benefit of late miscues by the younger Spurs and gritted out a 11-106 win.
The Knicks are among the finest groups within the east, and so they have few weaknesses, with Jalen Brunson operating the purpose and Karl-Anthony Cities utilizing his offensive versatility to interrupt down defenses. Chris Paul’s veteran management is required tonight to keep away from the late sport meltdown that we noticed on Monday, whereas Wembanyama’s total elite abilities must be the largest benefit for the Silver and Black.
This sport will probably be simulcast on Disney+ with animated toons changing a few of the gamers, and that must be enjoyable to observe, however since I’m writing a recap I’ll most likely keep away from that, since I received’t actually know who to credit score Goofy’s baskets to on the Spurs roster. [Is he Sochan? He’s gotta be Sochan.]
Sit again and watch the sport at present, keep in mind that it’s OK to put on pajamas whereas watching the Spurs, except you’re within the enviornment, then it may very well be frowned upon. After tonight, the Spurs journey to Brooklyn to tackle the Nets on Friday. Simply go all the way down to Penn Station (beneath Madison Sq. Backyard) and take the two or 3 practice and get out on the Barclay Heart cease. It’s a couple of 25 minute journey, $3 for the fare, among the finest transportation bargains within the metropolis.

Recreation Prediction:
It will likely be stated that Tom Thibodeau’s coronary heart grew three sizes on today, after Wembanyama reveals him the true that means of Christmas, and he’ll play each participant on the Knicks roster tonight.
One last phrase:
Go Spurs GOOOOOO!!
