WORST NBA Christmas Day Games

WORST NBA Christmas Day Games

Ladies and gentlemen welcome in to some of the worst NBA games in recent memory you know when you’re a kid you watch all the NBA games we know how they do it starting at noon the second game is at 2:30 the third game is at 5:00 and then

8:30 and then 10:30 something like that and I don’t know with the NBA I’ve kind of fallen out of love with it it is what it is but certainly when I was younger I did like watching the Christmas Day games and there were some games because

Remember they’ve got a fit in five Prime Time spots including the 10:30 window some of these teams are just not very good and I thought I would just go back through the past 10 years and take a look at maybe like one game per year that was just not good starting I mean

You’ve always got the Knicks on Christmas I saw this year they’re doing Nicks bucks on Christmas it’s just it is what it is but the Knicks coming into this game this was a few years ago at 14- 18 against the Atlanta Hawks and this one the Knicks actually won at 100

1 to 87 I don’t even think Trey young played in this game but you can see John yeah there’s no way Trey young played in this game if John Collins has 18 field goal attempts Julius Randle 25 and 12 during a breakout year I remember that kemell Walker was that his last Good

Year 12 assists one turnover and 40 minutes it was a nice win for the Knicks but the Knicks always play that noon game to start normally it’s not very good oh this was from 2020 so you remember how they did it in 2020 where the season gets postponed in early March

They resume it they have the bubble thing the Mickey Mouse thing that you know the the Lakers end up winning and then they Kickstart the season right near Christmas this was like the second game of the season for both of these teams there’s no one in the stands I

Just can’t take this seriously I’m sorry and it’s like this for every sport for me like the 2020 Seasons with no fans it’s just hard to really you know this is supposed to be a Christmas Day game and there’s just no atmosphere here and on paper this was a good matchup but the

Warriors ever since they had their 73- win season they would have a lot of games like this during the regular season where they would just get blown out against really good teams certainly I mean when they went 73 and N they were winning every game but after that Steph

Curry struggles James wisman the number two overall pick I mean he’ll take the eight rebounds certainly he’ll take eight rebounds giv up 138 points and then for the bucks you did have Chris Middleton go off 31 points 10 of 15 Giannis with 13 rebounds this game was not competitive the Warriors at a

Certain point I mean look at these teams records they were 0 and2 this was their second game because the season started late because of the postponement of the 2019 season or or was that considered the 2020 season I don’t know the NBA is annoying because it’s like it’s the

20192020 season it got postponed they had to have the bubble and they started this season late but that was just a bad that whole Christmas was bad let’s just call it what it is how about this the Utah Jazz on a Christmas Day game what a

Rare site this is this is got to be their only time they’ve been on a Christmas game probably in the last decade but this was the Damen Lillard Damen Lillard CJ McCollum team going up against Utah Donan Mitchell Rudy goar Utah came into this game right around

500 so was Portland it this is just a filler game let’s call it what it is they needed somebody to fill the 10:30 Eastern window and and these two Pacific teams did the Utah Jaz end up easily winning in a blowout 117 to 96 you did have Donovan Mitchell I mean really no

One had great numbers in this game I think this was the game Rudy goar had seven blocks or something because when I was researching to look it up they were like oh he had seven blocks this is just a completely this is just meaningless basketball here no it’s it’s not the

These teams are okay but still whenever you see the Utah Jazz appear on Christmas it’s it’s just a it’s a strange s this game this is back from like 2014 2015 I can tell from the scoreboard Spurs versus bulls the bulls had so many bad games man Dwayne Wade on the Chicago

Bulls little guest appearance there oh LaMarcus Aldridge went crazy this game 33 points this was a blowout really uh I mean it was close at half I guess but just another crappy game there were a lot of crappy games involving the Bulls and then there’s this one this is the

Lakers Clippers this I believe this was Kobe’s last year so that’s why this game was on but the Lakers were just getting demolished this would have been I believe the 10:30 window game and it wasn’t close even with the Clippers scoring nine points in the fourth

Quarter they still win by 10 low scoring the Lakers fall to five and 25 yeah this had to have been Kobe’s last year why else would they be on Chrisi at 5 and 25 D’Angelo Russell congratulations 16 points Julius Randa when he was on the Lakers he had eight rebounds DeAndre

Jordan the oh they had Blake Griffin at that point and Chris Paul that was probably the FI one of the final years those three were together moving on how about this rare game on TNT this only happened one time recently where TNT had two games on Christmas and honestly it

Just doesn’t look right it puts a bad taste in my mouth this was the Lakers versus the Bulls the Lakers end up getting trounced 113 to 93 palas goes for 23 and 13 who’s on the Lakers at this point why are they on Christmas they’re 9 and 20 it’s it’s like who is

That Ed Davis with 14 rebounds the big fella I mean you’ll take that seven offensive rebounds that’s impressive but they get crushed just a bad bad basketball game and that was when the Bulls still had a good team uh the next one it is the Bulls vers the Nets kind

Of a close game throughout much of this one but in the fourth quarter the Nets just couldn’t score or in all of the the second half the Nets just couldn’t score final in this one 95- 78 this is back in 2014 or 20 2013 I want to say actually

Uh but you can see Taj Gibson with a big game Darren Williams for the Nets the Nets are such a weird weird team with the talent that they’ve had they tried building around the washed big three back in like 2012 and then they end up getting a new big three and still can’t

Win but yeah this game was just a complete crap show 11 and 16 versus 9-9 both teams under 100 points the Nets can’t even get to 80 points in that game and if you actually look at the 2015 2016 Christ this would have been Christmas Day 2015 look at these scores

This would never happen nowadays pretty much every team outside of the Bulls under a 100 points the Pelicans played on Christmas wow they beat the heat so the Knicks weren’t on Christmas back in 2015 but 94 score to 88 in overtime the Bulls barely score 100 the Cavs Warriors

There were a lot of lower scoring Cavs Warriors matchups from like 2015 to 2017 in that era 89 to 83 rocket Spurs low scoring all of those games were just crazy low scoring I I I was looking at that and I was like there was no way

With how uptempo they play that would never happen and then here’s just another crappy Christmas Day game this is when the Knicks were 9 and 25 this is another noon game taken on Giannis and the Bucks like three years ago this is the game that’s going to be happening

This year and the Bucks end up winning easily it’s just a I mean you go into a game like this knowing there’s an 80% chance the Bucks are going to pull away and win in the second half Kevin Knox goes for 21 wow Giannis goes for 30 and

14 Emanuel moodier I remember when Emanuel moodier he he committed to like SMU and then decided to go to glog and Dong China to play Emanuel Moody A a Trailblazer for all this what what do the kids do now g-league the g-league ignite or something that’s what it is

But moodier couldn’t do that he had to go to freaking glog andong you got to feel bad for him but either way guys those are just some random crappy Christmas Day games that’s going to do it for this video make sure you’re following me on X link to that’s always in the description
