This could not be more perfect.

Firstly, thank God that we finally have a home game on Christmas instead of playing in Boston or New York or any other East Coast city. What a disgrace that we couldn’t watch the boys in the Wells Fargo Center because dads across the area were getting dragged to WFC so their daughters could see Tinker Bell skate around.

Secondly, this projects to be the marquee matchup in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics and Raptors took a step back. The Nets will be waiting in the weeds. It HAS to be the year for one of these two teams, they will never get a better chance at an NBA Finals Berth.

And lastly, the Bucks and Sixers being put into conversation together is fantastic because there is no bad time to remind people that the 2018-19 Sixers were better than the 2018-19 Bucks. I’ll stake my very small reputation on it. You can argue in the comments but I’m keeping this short and sweet: the Bucks were a one player, one dimensional team. They had the best player on the court. The Sixers had the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th.
