Merry Christmas. Still 59 minutes left here on the West Coast, and I can say that to y'all.

But as is tradition, we are going to take you through all five of the Christmas games for Dunkton Prime subscribers.

For those of y'all on the free feed, you're going to get the first two.

And I want to remind everyone before we get started, please sign up if you're listening on the free feed to our free mailing list, which has Dan Feldman's Daily Dunks.

You can get that twice a week.

Subscribers get it for five, but that will keep you up to date on everything that's happening in the NBA that day.

Good cap breakdowns, historical minutia, and a look at that day's important news.

So please sign up for that.

Link to that is in the show notes.

And I think we have to start with what took place in Chase Center today.

It's not as important as it used to be because it used to be for the highest of stakes, not even in that season,

but even historically, but LeBron versus Steph still brings the goods.

It does. And I mean, this game had a lot of ebbs and flows to it. I might as well just say

the final score at the outset, Lakers 115, Warriors 113. And I thought that the very beginning of the game

kind of followed, and I'll be interested to see, because you were in the building and I was not,

followed something that you and I have talked about a lot over the years. Of course, LeBron versus

the Warriors has taken a lot of cycles. But one of the things that really gets Stefan Curry kind of out of sorts offensively is a

reliable rim protector, especially in some ways if that player is more mobile.

I think that some ways, Steph has a little, he feels footsteps a little bit more.

And I thought that the first real swing in the game, the Lakers started out a little bit slow, but also Anthony Davis, unfortunately, turning his ankle.

I thought that that really kind of kicked things into gear for the warrior someone.

I wanted to see if it felt the same way in the building.
