Well we can start this off by officially railing against the NBA owners for vetoing the Chris Paul trade. This was a travesty that should never have happened. Honestly, I forgive LeBron for leaving Cleveland now. I wouldn't want to work for Dan Gilbert if I could avoid it.

And now Brandon Roy is retiring. Thats a shame for him. He was so good, just didn't have the body for it.

Huh? What now? What is this "En-Bee-Aye" thing you speak of? And who is a "Chris Paul"? Also, you might want to update your spellchecker, you misspelled "LeBaron".

Yep. Regular season tips off Christmas Day.

meh.

I guess since the rigging scandal, and just over-all crappy officiating; I just can't really care about basketball much anymore.

Aaaaand looks like Oden's already out for the season. Feels bad, man.

I didn't realize how screwed up the NBA was until I read about the strike. Over 2/3 of the franchises are operating in the red? Holy crap.

Eh probably not really. This is an article showing how teams can make losses seem a lot worse than they are (or even make it look like a loss when they made money).
