Has the rose fallen off the bloom that is the Boston Celtics – Los Angeles Lakers rivalry? Not if you ask The Ringer’s Michael Pina. Per the Ringer NBA analyst, “every time the two winningest franchises in NBA history square off, it’s meaningful.” “Both sides are coming off a conference finals appearance, aspire to win this year’s title, and feature superstars who deserve a shout in the early-season MVP conversation,” writes Pina of the two ancient rivals set to collide again on this Christmas Day 2023. “When the Celtics and Lakers clash on Christmas Day, dramatic tension will fuse with history, stakes, and a fascinating contrast in style.” With both ball clubs set to compete for an NBA record eighteenth title this season, the mid-season meetup certainly does have more sauce than a matchup that is always a saucy one.

But Monday’s tilt between the Lakers and the Celtics most certainly will be anything but boring.
