The NBA has officially released schedules for the 2008-2009 NBA season.

And of course, the Lakers are once again playing on national tv on Christmas. The opponent? The 2007-2008 NBA Champions Boston Celtics. Bring on the Celtics!

With my boy Bynum back, Pau, The Goods, Fish, and the Black Mamba himself, I feel confident showing the Celtics that we had them last year if we had been healthy.
