Another NBA season is upon us and it'll will be one to remember. Why? Its inevitable that a lockout will be happening in 2011-12 so you might as well remember as much of this season as possible to get you through those hoop-less months next year. Here's a few reasons:
1) Owners want to cut players salaries by 1/3 and pocket that money for themselves. Can you blame them? Player salaries have gone out of control and the owners want a hard salary cap to swing things back in their favor. I guess it only takes contracts like Eddy Curry's $11 million per season to make them realize this.
2) Players are telling the owners to go eff themselves. A lot of NBA players grew up in poverty and disadvantaged circumstances and now make more money then they ever dreamed of. And you expect them to just give that up? Its like watching TV in HD on a flatscreen and trying to rip that away and replace it with a TV with bunny ear antennas.
But regardless of what happens in 12 months from now, this upcoming season will be one to remember. The talent is at an all time high. So many story lines (did you hear what happened in Miami?). So many questions with no answers...yet.
Will the Lakers 3-peat?
How will the Big 3 in Miami on in its inaugural season together?
Can the Celtics drag Shaq to the Finals for his 5th ring?
Will Kevin Durant supplant LBJ for the MVP?
Will Blake Griffin or John Wall win the ROY?
Will Jay Triano be completely bald by the end of the season from the dreadful upcoming Raptors season?
We'll have our answers soon enough. Here is a divisional preview for the 2010-11 NBA season.
