The Christmas holiday is a busy time for NBA teams. Yesterday, there were several marquis holiday games played around the league, including the amazing Boston Celtics playing on the road in Los Angeles against the Lakers.

This year’s Celtics team may be better than last year's world championship team. We talk about it along with some other issues with free lance NBA writer, Darryl Howerton. 

Darryl tells us about the Celtics unsung hero. He also talks about the Cleveland Cavaliers who may be Boston's biggest challenger in the east. 

Fewer teams are offering major dollars to "superstar" talents—Darryl tells us why it’s a good strategy. He also talks about controversial Knicks guard Stephon Marbury. Even though Marbury is on the Knicks roster the team refuses to play him and he’s become an unwanted commodity. They’ve tried to trade him, but around the NBA there are no takers.

Tip off the weekend with Sports Spectrum Today and a conversation on the NBA.
