FINALLY… After a five-month lockout the NBA is back!! NBA fans can watch five games slated to be on throughout the day.
With the NBA lockout over and the Christmas season in full swing, things are starting to seem regular again. The die-hard NBA fan can get it’s fix starting on Christmas day, what a present huh? Can’t wait, can’t wait(Bart Scott voice). The Christmas Day schedule is looking like it’s going to be something special. Right now the frantic fast paced free agent signing period has many fans on edge wondering what moves their teams are gonna make, and critiquing the moves already made. The New York Knicks, with the addition of Tyson Chandler, have formed a pretty formidable front line. The Dallas Mavericks will try to defend their crown with the addition of the reigning sixth man of the year Lamar Odom. [..]
Another letter from Dan Gilbert. Honestly, it seems as if the Cleveland Cavaliers’ owner is still reeling from LeBron James’ public exit last season and would like to force feed another franchise his thoughts on how basketball business should be handled. The only problem is that now instead of the New Orleans Hornets receiving something for Chris Paul’s departure, they would likely have to wait until he walks out on his own free will during next year’s free agency. Smart move Gilbert! Smart move. [..]
The most entertaining things about the lockout have not necessarily been the schedule release or the fact that the Christmas day games have officially be announced. Those things are great runner-ups but what has captured NBA fans’ attention the most is undoubtedly all of the hoopla surrounding some of these ridiculous trade rumors.
You know the ones that if you speak up enough, they seem more and more like the truth.
My hat goes off to the Los Angeles Lakers if they are able to land one of the most popular trade rumors to date as they are reportedly aiming to recruit both Chris Paul AND Dwight Howard from the New Orleans Hornets and the Orlando Magic. It would be a hell of a move that would balance the weight that both the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks have stacked their rosters with. [..]
