Likely no Khris Middleton again for the Bucks, who have been trash on the road of late. Is it me or does the NBA holiday schedule blow chunks this year? Obviously doesn't help with so many injuries, etc. Here is what I think should happen: Adam Silver does like a Champions League-type pick a numbered ping-pong ball draw for the Christmas games but, you know, only with marquee teams as well. So we don't get Pistons-Kings or something. I realize some travel issues, etc., but that would be fun. Great, now I am thinking of Buckets ... and now curious what the CL version of Pistons-Kings would be. Lazio v Brighton?
