Ask for the program! We’ll let you know what might be fun to follow in the 3 nightly NBA matches, but also what you can watch on TV while waiting for the hostilities to start.
What we’re going to watch before the NBA
If we want to warm up with sport, Paris – Barça in the Euroleague on L’Equipe at 9 p.m. will do the job. If, on the other hand, you prefer to disconnect a little before the NBA Cup final, “Mom I missed the plane” is broadcast on TF1 for the 1,674th time. And we risk watching it for the 1,674th time. It’s a nice marker of the fact that we are 10 days away from Christmas and meals as copious and indecent as the comments after 6 glasses of wine from Uncle Bernard, who will certainly outdo himself in terms of reactionary comments given the news of the last few months. There’s a bit of nostalgia in it, too. Did you also have this film on tape? When I explain to my daughter that before, to watch our favorite films, we had to insert a box into another box and that there was no Netflix, she seems to pity me as if I had experienced a precarious childhood 😅
By the way, “Home Alone” (the original title of the film), takes place in Chicago and we would be tempted to call for a parody with the Bulls in the title role: “Mom, I missed the season”, as Billy Donovan’s players disappoint us after starting with a bang…
The night’s program in the NBA
Spurs vs Knicks, NBA Cup final, 2:30 a.m.
There’s no need to look for too many reasons to get hyped for this match. The spirit of the final cup/cleaver match with a title at the end, whatever the value we give it, necessarily makes the poster between the Spurs and the Knicks interesting.
We still don’t know if in 20 years we will talk about the number of NBA Cup titles when discussing a player’s CV, but Victor Wembanyama has the opportunity to win his first trophy in the league, which is no small thing. Given the shattering side of his return against OKC, we can’t wait to see what he will give in this context.
The Knicks haven’t had the opportunity to celebrate any title since… 1973 and we won’t blame them for boasting a little if they are lucky enough to defeat the Spurs.
With the presence, even minimal in terms of playing time, of Guerschon Yabusele and his comrades Dadiet and Diawara, there will be at least one Frenchman titled this night.
