Go Lockout!!

I have to selfishly admit that I hope a few more weeks of games are canceled before the NBA season starts.  Being a die hard fan of the very aged Celtics team, a shorter season wouldn't hurt.  With four of our five starters over 30 and considered "over the hump", not having a 82 game season would definitely help our chances.  Also being an advid fan of not watching Lebron James and the Miami Heat play, it helps me sleep at night to know that LBJ lost 20 games of his career he will never get back.  Other teams that could benefit from this scenario are the very old San Antonio Spurs and the reigning champs Dallas Mavericks.

More games cancelled

Last week the NBA Commissioner David Stern cancelled two more weeks of NBA games.  With no end to the negotiations in sight the commissioner had no choice but to cancel the games.  In my opinion I think that there will be a decision met very soon.  The players originally plan was to negotiate no lower than a 52% - 48% split in revenue, but the owners want a even 50/50 split.  With today being the 125th day of the lockout the players are not getting paid it is going to become difficult for the players not to crack.  While the top tier players making max contracts may be able to wait out the lockout, the smaller contract players need to get paid.  I foresee the NBA season starting pretty soon.
