The NBA is a huge business and their games on Christmas day are an integral part of their overall entertainment package.

And so we have come to the end. The end of the regular season, anyway, which also means we’re almost at the beginning of the good stuff.
On Friday afternoon (NZT) the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks agreed to a 5-player plus additives trade that sent Rajon Rondo to Dallas. It just so happens that our very own Wildcard is a passionate Mavs fan, so we let him loose. Apologies for any distasteful bias that may ensue.
Steph Curry is phenomenal.
First off I have an apology to make. I didn’t meet my deadline last week for this column. It wasn’t my fault, I swear, you just gotta believe me! I TRIED SO HARD!
Two games to go. Two more chances. It’s what players play for, coaches coach for and fans, um, fan (?) for… the chance to compete for a championship.
For a few short hours on Sunday the Breakers slipped from first place. Then they beat Melbourne in Melbourne and hahahahaha!
The Grizzles seem to be the team that is quietly doing extremely well, not many people seem to talk about them but they sit a close 2nd in the West to the exciting Warriors.
That’s more like it. Still not a clinical night of shooting but easily better than last week’s travesty.
Basketball’s a tricky game. Sure, most nights you get away with it. You throw up some airballs, you don’t bother rebounding, maybe throw the odd pass into the crowd. But every now and then you have one of those awful nights, when it all goes wrong.
The win streak is over for the Breakers, after they went down in Sydney.
More of the same for this weeks MVP rankings, with Pelicans big man Anthony Davis still holding the top spot for me.
Four weeks to go. Four more games for each team, four more chances to prove themselves. To extend their season and achieve what they set out to achieve. To make it to the offseason and still be able to sleep at night without nightmares of the missed opportunities.
Recently, we've witnessed our sporting leaders do what they do best and lead admirably through adversity. We've also been given a fantastic example of how not to lead by the head hauncho of the NFL, Roger Goodell.
