00:04 The NFL every year gives you the Lions and the Cowboys on Christmas.
00:12 Nobody ever complains about the Cowboys,
00:13 people don't want to get to get rid of Detroit for years.
00:17 But they stick to that tradition.
00:19 The NBA has five games to work with.
00:22 Christmas in at the garden, I think being a tradition for the NBA works.
00:28 But the problem is, they've not done it every year.
00:31 They've done it a lot in recent history, JY, but they've not done it every year.
00:37 Just let it be, it either needs to be a staple or not,
00:41 kind of is what I think you want to do.
00:44 Because, look, and that is your first game of the day, so you have to get it right.
00:49 Again, though, and I'm not gonna try and beat a dead horse here, but
00:54 I need Giannis Jokic, or I need Jokic and Bede.
00:59 For me, so Lakers Celtics is obviously fantastic,
01:05 but I remember every single year we were given Warriors Cavs.
01:10 Every year we were getting Warriors Cavs.
01:13 To me it was like, man, the final, right, and the idea is NBA Finals Preview.
01:20 That's what I like to see if they can offer us up on Christmas.
01:25 This past Christmas, what they gave us kind of in place of that,
01:29 we ended up getting the, they gave us the Warriors, I hated that, but
01:33 they gave us Celtics Bucks, right?
01:35 So they kind of did a conference, conference thing, but
01:39 JY, embrace the battle that is Embiid versus Jokic.
01:44 I thought, and we ended up missing out on the second game, but
01:47 the first go around here, right, when Embiid ended up going out there and
01:51 giving Jokic the business in Philly and they got that game,
01:53 that was a big turning point in the MVP conversation.
01:57 For me, some of these games, JY, they don't,
02:02 they're not sexy enough, is I think my problem.
02:05 I like inter-conference battles on a Christmas, at least a couple of them
02:10 there, I didn't, these are good games, I don't think they're great games.
02:17 >> No, I think the game in the middle, the Lakers-
02:22 >> Send Kyrie to the garden,
02:24 send Kyrie to the garden, and that would have done a ton for me.
02:30 And just take Milwaukee and put Milwaukee up against the Phoenix Suns, and
02:34 I like this slate ten times more.
