Christmas is cancelled. Santa just got arrested

I'm excited about this game and this road trip. For this Raptors team, there aren't a lot of measuring stick stretches between early January and the beginning of the playoffs. Breaking even would be fine but not really showing them as making the next step yet. 4-2 with a couple competitive losses would show them as maybe taking a step towards eliteness, and anything better than that cements them in that elite class. But that hinges on a win tonight. This is probably the most 'could go either way' game of the trip, and if they lose then they're going to be chasing +.500 the whole trip; a win sets them up great.

Yeah quite a few Christmas songs lyrics are actually creepy.

Really interested to see how this all time great offensive team matchup against a really good defensive team like the Jazz.

Underneath the mistletoe that night...

Maybe mistletoe is representative of something else?

I forgot to mention, this is not Vegas respect. Sharps and public money moved line from +1 Raps to -2.0 Raps.

I'm going be a Christmas pessimist and predict a loss by 8.
