Thread: NBA 2011-2012 Season

Now that we have "a Christmas miracle", an NBA season this year...let's get this going! The obvious, and quite frankly one of the most enjoyable aspects of just before training camps ....the crazy as hell free agent frenzy!

Goooo HEAT!

Now THIS is the NBA thread I've wanted to post in!

Opening Day will now be Christmas Day:

12:00pm ET- Celtics at Knicks (ESPN)
2:30pm ET- Heat at Mavericks (ABC)
5:00pm ET- Bulls at Lakers (ABC)


Another thing the lockout did was deprive the Mavs from having their day in the sun, with their
banner raising ceremony. Now it's Opening Day, Christmas Day, Finals rematch with LeBron and company in the house. All that AND a banner ceremony. WOW!

That will be wild AND crazy! I am wondering how much of the Mavs from last year will be with them? They had some very important cogs that were free agents like JJ Barea..the center(who's name escapes me now) and Stevenson who did a great job guarding Lebron...

not that i really care about the season but am eager to see the nba in 3d!

I am gonna see IF Howard stays in Orlando. I have a strange feeling he will take the Shaq route and head West to the Lakers in a blockbuster deal...more than likely involving a team or two.

If I understand the new deal correctly, that will be virtually impossible. Of course unlike other sports, it's seems like you need to be a Nobel economist to understand the NBA salary cap.

I still have no idea how the Celtics, Heat or Lakers are "under" the cap. It's a joke, If I were a Milwaukee Bucks fan, I would still not be satisfied with the "new" deal. It did nothing to address competitive balance.

I have a feeling that Big Baby Davis, Delonte West or both will be off the Celtics roster before Christmas Day.

Hoping my Knicks can kick the Celtics' behind. The Celtics AARP 3 won't be enough

i doubt he is staying but hopefully orlando will pull a trade and get some good players back.
