Night Falls On NBA Christmas: Your Magic-Thunder And Clippers-Warriors Open Thread

Oh man, we're sleepy. Aren't you? So much food. So many bûches de nöels. So much nog. Way too much nog. Anyway, basketball! Get psyched.

Magic at Thunder, 8 p.m., ESPN: Well, why not. Neither team has changed much—both are still primed to lose early-round playoff series. We hope watching basketball on Christmas won't be too tough on the good, god-fearin' people of Oklahoma City. This is presumably a foreign experience.

Clippers at Warriors, 10:30 p.m., ESPN: Lob City and Fog City. These teams battled over DeAndre Jordan earlier this month, which probably means a lot to basketball bloggers. But the Clips won that war, which means, whatever it is that DeAndre Jordan does, he's gonna do it while playing for the Clippers. For some strange reason, Chauncey Billups is also prominently involved in this game.
