the best news of this month of December? The simple fact of writing “preview of the NBA evening”

So it’s tonight. Tonight, or rather tonight, but you will no doubt have understood the nuance in the vocabulary. Pre-season perhaps, but in the pre-season there is a season, and as the expression does not say: when you love, you don’t grumble. Anyway, meet at 1am for the shot, in mode fast life.

Five games, five first games to warm up, with what it takes new faces, superstars, ghosts and / or Frenchies to satisfy us and make us wake up in a compulso-compulsive manner. A start of blue-white-red programs that will take us crescendo to the West, even if some of your favorite All-Stars may well decide to take it easy and jog tonight. Come on, little program in TéléPoche mode, but without the sorry horoscope.

1h : Hawks – Magic : it took two to start, and it will be on one side one of the most extensive teams of this recovery and on the other it will not be the Hawks. Evan Fournier should be present on the Orlando side, while for Atlanta Onyeka Okongwu is preparing in the time room and Rajon Rondo, Kris Dunn and Clint Capela could also be missing. A shot at every shoot in Trae Young’s parking lot, and everyone busted an hour later?

1h : Pistons – Knicks : perhaps THE rendezvous of the night for French fans, no offense to the shine from California (see below). The return of Blake Griffin, the great debut of Obi Topp…. stooooooooooooooooooop! Stop it all oh: Killian Hayes is coming into your lives with Sekou Doumbouya by his side and Frank Ntilikina in front, so don’t even come talk to us about Elfrid Payton or Jerami Grant, we have absolutely nothing to shake. Long live France, long live the Camembert de Pays, at the table and sing together the most beautiful hits of Charles Trénet.

2h : Bulls – Rockets : a team that plays in red against another that plays in red as well, yay. The main info of the evening? John Wall should not be in uniform, the official reason being that the Rockets staff are still working with Jeannot for a return to mega-form, and the unofficial reason rather being that he is currently roaming the streets of Houston and across the country. to find James Harden. A James Harden who, from an official source, is currently undergoing multiple tests for COVID but who, unofficially, is rather undergoing multiple paternity tests. In short, a team in red against another team in red, with Adam Mokoka on the Chicago side, Camembert, Charles Trénet, all that.

4h : Lakers – Clippers : we move on to serious matters, finally in appearance. As for the reigning champions, no absence to be deplored, but if we will probably discover the future best sixth and seventh men of the season (Dennis Schroder and Montrezl Harrell), LeBron James and Anthony Davis should for their part stay in the boxes to hit a Monopoly with the money from their new contract. Transition all found, suspense as to the presence this evening of Kawhi Leonard and especially Paul George, who at the last news would not even manage to put one foot in front of the other so much his pockets are full since yesterday. In any case, we are going on a good little Angelino family derby, rehearsal for the next opening night, between a legendary and often victorious franchise and… its exact opposite.

4h30 : Blazers – Kings : the fireworks of this first evening will take us to the North-West of the country, it will therefore take us to Le Havre. Blazers – Kings but not Damian Lillard, out according to rotoworld, but at the same time what’s the point of playing every night, since scoring 60 points per game every two games is enough to turn… well at 30 points per game. Not quite that we agree but very lacking inspiration for the moment, so we count on De’Aaron Fox, Marvin Bagley III and the little new Tyrese Haliburton to offer the Blazers and the replacement Melo a nice end opposition by night.

Five matches, food and drink, green and unripe. We go on a hell of a night because it’s the first, usual excitement of the recovery, and we meet around 1am with a smile and a nice buffet all ready. Deal?
