Oklahoma City will host Orlando before Blake Griffin and the Los Angeles Clippers visit Golden State on Christmas night, running the NBA's planned opening-day schedule to five games. Those games were added Friday to the three that already were set when the 2011-12 schedule was originally unveiled: Boston at New York, Miami at Dallas, and Chicago at the Los Angeles Lakers.
Now that the Lakers have acquired Chris Paul the world wants to see the matchup between him and Rose. Kobe will be there too.
Correction, CP3 isn't teaming up with the Lakers. Rose is going to dominate since nobody on the Lakers can stop him; however, Kobe will be working hard.
