It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

THE NBA IS BACK!!!

I'm really looking forward to this compressed season of 66 games!

Yep the NBA lockout is over!

And the thunder are going to win the NBA finals! (You heard it here first!)

Hopefully I'm going to get to go to the Christmas Day game here in OKC, and hopefully Dwight Howard will still be with the Magic at that time. I think the Thunder have a legit shot at the title, but it's going to depend on how free agency shakes out, too. If Dallas loses Barea AND Chandler, that'll be a big hit on their chances to repeat.

I'll admit, even if the Lakers do pull off the miracle of landing both Howard and Paul, I'm not sure how well it would work out for them. At some point, Kobe's injuries are going to catch up to him, and I'd be a little wary of Paul's injury history. It could be a great team, but it could also be one bad ligament injury from disaster.

Go Heat! Look forward to the Mavs/Heat on opening day.

Maybe Lebron will STFU,do his job and win one this year.

I really hope the lakers get Howard but not Paul.

Bynum needs to go since he'll never be elite.

Orlando is LA's big man farm anyway (Shaq et al. 1996). But seriously, when is LA going to go through that rebuilding phase that just about every team has to inevitably go through? They've only missed the playoffs 4 times in the last 40 years.

Also, y'all can keep Bynum. Dude has been a "project" for 6 years and I don't like his injury history. He's good, but as you said, he's not as great as people have been wanting him to be.

For mostly selfish reasons I was hoping for the lockout to hold, or at most a 50-game season since my cRaptors were gonna suck bigtime anyways.

But with NBA basketball on the horizon, I'm actually glad. There's only so many hockey highlights I can take...gimme Court Cuts any day (courtesy of The Score)

Sixers still suck. I can't believe we didn't trade Andre Iguodala yet. Trade Elton Brand too while your at it.
