We all know how all of you missed the NBA so we will start the 2011-2012 season with a bang as BTV airs to awesome games on December 26.

BTV will start this season like how it ended last season as the Dallas Mavericks raise their banner then battle the Miami Heat at 3 am. This much awaited rematch of last season’s NBA Finals is definitely the best way to start of a whirlwind 66-game NBA season.

Although some familiar faces in the rivalry won’t be there anymore (JJ Barea and Tyson Chandler) other will surely add a new flavor to this head-to-head battle (Lamar Odom, Vince Carter, and Shane Battier).

After watching the Dallas Mavericks battle the Miami heat, get some shut eye and set you alarm clock to ring at 11:30 am to watch the debut of the retooled LA Clippers versus the always exciting Golden State Warriors.

We’ve all had a glimpse of what Lob City is capable of and on December 26, we will see just how good their acquisition of Chris Paul and Chauncey Billups is. The Warriors will surely put up a fight led by the high-scoring duo of Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry.

You’ve waited too long for this year’s NBA season to commence. It is but right that we start it of with a bang.
