Cancel your plans for Christmas: Lakers play Heat at Staples Center


The NBA announced the TV schedule for opening week, Christmas and Martin Luther King's birthday on Tuesday, and, as expected, the Miami Heat will be playing the Lakers on Christmas Day, at Staples Center. Below are the four Lakers games announced on Tuesday:
Season Opener: Oct. 26 - Lakers vs. Houston at Staples Center, 7:30 p.m. on TNT. Lakers will receive their championship rings.
Oct. 29: Lakers at Phoenix, 7:30 p.m. on ESPN. Rematch of the Western Conference finals.
Chrristmas Day: Lakers vs. Miami at Staples Center, 2 p.m. on ABC. I don't know, did the Heat do something in the off-season to earn the Christmas Day slot? I can't remember if they made any moves or not.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Jan. 17): Lakers vs. Oklahoma City at Staples Center, 7:30 p.m. on TNT.
