Let The Games Begin

Finally. The NBA Lockout is over! The players and the owners have reached a tentative agreement and plan to open Training Camp on December 9th, with games planning to start on December 25th-Christmas Day. What a fantastic Christmas present that will be! The planned match-ups for Christmas was the Finals rematch between Dallas and Miami and Derrick Rose and the Bulls against Kobe and the Lakers. Dang...I can't wait!

The fans are finally being able to watch these superstar athletes play their hearts out for at least a partial season. We are lucky. It's better than nothing. Could you imagine having no NBA season this year? I know that thought had crossed my mind a few times, but now I'm extremely thankful we get to see "Where Amazing Happens" this year. Are you?

----Oh, and by the way, the whole league better watch out. Lebron and Wade down in South Beach are ready to play. Ready to take home that trophy. Bring it. Game on.

NBA Lockout

Empty arenas. No long lines at the door. No excessive honking after a win. No popcorn being thrown in the air. No loud chants of "BEAT L.A!" No jaw-dropping dunks. No awe-inspiring three-pointers at the buzzer. No wicked crossovers. No No. 6 out on the court breaking ankles. Welcome to the "who knows what day" of the NBA lockout.

It's the 2nd of November. The time where NBA fanatics should be prepping for another great NBA season. But no. We are experiencing a lockout because the owners and players can't compromise. Both sides are just being absurd. They are losing millions of dollars every single day players aren't out on that court. They are losing the support of millions of fans worldwide. They are causing thousands to be unemployed. They are just being ridiculous. End of story.

I don't even care that there isn't an NBA team in Seattle. I just want to see where AMAZING happens! I want to see the heated rivalry games between the Celtics and the Lakers.  I want to see Lebron go flying through the air and dunk in Kobe's face. I want to see Ray Allen make almost every three-pointer he attempts. I want to hear the crowd's reaction to a blown call by the refs or the sound of the crowd at the end of a Game 7 in the Finals.

Not only do I want it, but millions of other do too. #letamazinghappen
