The NBA will open the 2011-12 season on Christmas, but not with the triple-header that David Stern himself said during the end-of-the-lockout press conference. Instead, there will be a five-game set with one on TNT, two on ABC and two on ESPN, according to the New York Times. 

Times, all Eastern, would be noon, 2:30, 5:00, 8:00 and 10:30.  

Last season the NBA had five games on Christmas with pretty much that exact same setup. Originally, the schedule this season was to feature a triple-header with the Celtics at the Knicks, the Heat at the Mavericks and the Bulls at the Lakers. 

I’d assume those games would remain, but the league would bring in two more marquee teams to play. Maybe theThunder against the Grizzlies in a Western semifinal rematch? Or the Clippers at the Magic? Blake Griffin versus Dwight Howard would certainly draw interest, I’d think. 

Look for the full, revised NBA schedule to come out sometime next week.
