Seriously, doesn't Stern think this game would get a lot of ratings after their playoff series last season. Instead, he has the Clippers and Nuggets. Nothing against Denver, but it's kind of a random game LAC vs DEN
Why are the Grizzlies and Clippers not playing on Christmas?

Probably not that simple. I've always been against Christmas day games anyway, let them spend time with their family rather than force matchups just for ratings.

So, they're not going to change EVERY game the whole season just to play that game. Yeah thy had a good playoff series, but they couldnt predict what they were gonna be like this year.Yes I'm aware of that.

Pretty much what Panthers said, Why can't NBA players spend Christmas with their families?

David Stern doesn't believe in family.

Christmas isnt a "magical" day or anything. Players can spend time with their families on most off days. And the NBA didnt have any games on thanksgiving, for that purpose.
Instead of focusing all the happiness and family love for 1 special day out of the year, people should wake up and realize they can spend time and can have a special evening with their families whenever they want. Happiness isnt reserved to a couple of man made holidays.

Wouldn't be surprised if TNT got it for some random Thursday night. It happens.

Basically what @ said, the Grizzlies are hibernating. Back to the whole Clippers-Grizzlies thing though, it's not really about the playoff series. Boston and Miami had one of the greatest playoff series of all time, yet they don't play Christmas day. The Celtics are playing the Nets though, which should be a great game nonetheless. Anyways, Christmas games have nothing to do with former playoff series, just scheduling. The Clippers and Nuggets should be a great game either way!
HNL Boston Celtics: 30-31

I lol'd, because, you know, actually we all know, that the Knicks aren't going to be making the ECF this season. I just don't see them getting too deep into the playoffs just yet. They'll be good, but not good enough. Playoff Experience > Regular Season record. Celtics and Heat meet up again in the ECF, mark my words.Yo, probskN i'ma let you finish, but uhh, the Knicks and Heat will have the best series of all time this year in the ECF.
