Sky Sports' NBA 2022/23 Christmas Review: Five big talking points ... (Sky Sports)

From MVP conversations to teams tanking, the play-in spots hotting up and so much more, we review the season so far as Christmas looms, with plenty of ...

Though head coach Gregg Popovich swears they're in it to fight, it's very easy to see the prize - Victor Wembanyama - and get excited. The San Antonio Spurs seem to be in both categories. Couple that with Kevin Durant in MVP-reaching form and you have a team set to maintain their spot in the play-ins. And not just for the Warriors, but the Los Angeles Lakers too. A team-up of Wemby and SGA would be absolutely deadly. Both the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks will be looking to do the same in the post-Xmas stretch. Each of these teams boast the best players in the league, battling away in the MVP conversation, but unable to save their teams from capitulating. And the Dallas Mavericks. But the fact of the matter is, the Dubs are not inspiring hope that they'll make it to the play-ins. For the former, Joel Embiid has been in monstrous form, dominating the rim action, and transcendent in transitions. A torrid record on the road. Perhaps teams have become savvier on how to dismantle the Jayson-Tatum-led offence.
