Jazz get a Christmas Day game!

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I know that, but why would teams want to play on christmas day? If I were a player, that would be a day I would not want to play and just stay home with my family.

I'm not from the US, is there something about playing on Christmas day that makes it important?

Because nearly everyone is off work on Christmas and they will watch NBA games. So it's the most exposure you can get in the regular season.

Looks like the first nationally televised game will be Oct 19 at home against GSW.

I only know that from Christmas Vacation.

I'm so excited about this. I saw this news on the sportscenter ticker last night and I was stunned.

Why is a Christmas day game so important?

It just gets our team more recognition and attention. National tv games are always good.

I remember Donovan tweeted on Christmas Day last year “Christmas game in Utah sometime...”

I guess he just makes things happen.

Someone go look and see if he predicted when we will win the championship.

Unprecedented. Unorthodox. The Saint's of Salt Lake will have a Christmas day miracle. I'm seeing sounds. I'm hearing colors.

Wow, this is Archie at his best.

I love that this is the kind of **** Gordwad thought he had to go to a large market team and go play tummysticks with his college coach in order to get.

Turns out you just have to be really good and have a personality and all that **** comes to you.

I think the Jazz's arena renovations are helping their perception with media like ESPN. It's a really nice arena that looks good on TV.

The last Christmas game in Utah was in 1988.

The last Christmas game in Utah was in 1988.

Actually it was 97 against the Rockettes.
