08:10 AM ET 07.27 | This coming season's Christmas slate will feature pretty much wall-to-wall action, with five games scheduled, beginning with the Celtics and Nets, followed by Knicks-Lakers. The biggest Christmas question mark, by far, is the Rockets/Bulls match-up, as 2011 MVP Derrick Rose is not expected to play as he recovers from a knee injury. That leaves Houston's Jeremy Lin as the headliner, unless you were really intrigued by Omer Asik's restricted free agency move from Chicago to Houston. The nigthcap between the Nuggets and Clippers figures to be an alley-oop spectacular, with Ty Lawson and Andre Miller looking to find newly re-signed center JaVale McGee while Chris Paul will try to hook up Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.

Man I'm so sick of all this talk about the very marginal J. Love headlining somethin on xmas day. If thats the event of the day, a J. Love moment, most of us will have moved on somethin else like opening gifts or maybe going out to dinner. Houston with all of Asik and J. Love are gonna hold someone's attention for 3 hours on xmas........"You have got to be kidding me".
With the Jeremy Love egoatics out there, I'll probably get a barrage of anti Apple comments....bank on it.

All about the Apple

I think that Rose might be forever diminished after this, you take away any of his explosion then what are you really left with? And I really like the way the kid plays but reality sucks sometimes.
