A very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone who frequents this space. Enjoy the NBA games today, but, more importantly, enjoy your time with family and friends. This humble blogger is sitting out Saturday's showdown in Orlando because of a very special 18-month-old who's set to experience her first real Christmas. That said, the Forsberg household will undoubtedly have the Celtics-Magic game on and we'll have some thoughts and analysis later in the day. Hope Santa brings everyone what they want this Christmas morning.

Bradley has tears in left shoulder compromising the structure. Can't risk further injury. Hopes to be ready for training camp in October.

Poor Keyon Dooling. The Reverend gets drilled in the kisser when Thad Young saves the ball. Then the Philly fans flex on the baseline.
