NBA Christmas Day 2012 Schedule: Game-by-Game Preview and Analysis | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

I guess this game has a few storylines. Both the Celtics and Nets have vastly improved this summer and will be looking to be the Eastern elite.

Then there's the whole ordeal about this being the Nets' first season in Brooklyn, so if you're looking to find Jay-Z on Christmas, this is probably going to be the place to look.

But what I'm most looking forward to—and don't get me wrong, I completely undersold the first two tidbits—is the point guard play.

Rajon Rondo is a triple-double threat every time he steps on the court, especially on the big stage (or so it seems). Deron Williams, one of the most dynamic point guards in the league, is a near lock for 20 and 10 every time out. Plus, now he finally has a legitimate backcourt mate in Joe Johnson to take away a good deal of pressure off the star PG's shoulders.

To be clear, these are two stacked teams playing on the biggest stage, but don't be surprised if the floor generals steal the show.
