NBA and NHL(less)
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
The NBA kicked off its season last night. There are a lot of players on new teams this year, starting with Shaq in Miami. It'll be interesting to see how the trades pan out. The Heat gave up some good young players to get Shaq, but for a player of his caliber, you do whatever it takes. Not too many people are giving Kobe and the Lakers a chance, but I think they'll be a decent team with Lamar Odom and Caron Butler coming over from Miami.
Any hockey fans out there? The possibility of an end to the strike is looking slimmer every day. To be honest, I'm not much of a hockey fan (it's hard to be when you live in a state where the average temperature is 113...can't exactly find a place to play hockey down the street), but it seems like every few years one of the major sports goes on strike. I don't know of all the details in the NHL strike and I'm sure it's complicated, but it seems like they could've worked something out by now. I've got an idea for the hockey officials while they're negotiating: widen the nets! Those guys work too hard to score only one point a game!
