"We want to play basketball," Commissioner David Stern said.
Come Christmas Day, they should be.
The sides reached a tentative agreement early Saturday to end the 149-day lockout and hope to begin the delayed season with a marquee tripleheader Dec. 25. Most of a season that seemed in jeopardy of being lost entirely will be salvaged if both sides approve the handshake deal.

Who cares ?
I was hoping for a break from the NBA this year.
Can’t stand basketball.
You and me both.
I was hoping to miss it entirely.
75% of the NBA players should be white. We need AA in the NBA. Where is the ACLU and the EEOC?
I suspect the folks working concessions care a whole lot. I don’t suppose anyone is going to make them whole....?
Have they finished the last 11 and a half month NBA season yet?
NB-what? Basket-what? the dopeheads must have been running low on pot money and behind on child support payments to all the baby mommas..
I’d like basketball because it helps the economy of the city where I live. Look at it from the standpoint of helping bars, stores and arena-workers make a living.
I’m with you. I no longer watch the NBA. Have not for over 20 years. Just another group of thugs. I have zero interest in the NBA. I am glad since it is Oscuma’s favorite mob.
Ditto - they've destroyed the sport.
Bird, Dr. J, Ice Man, Havlichek, Elvin Hayes - damn those were great days.....
This is too bad, I was hoping for alternate programming. The sport has been turned into something that sucks. All it is now is two guys playing keep-away from one guy with 7 other people standing around. It’s BORING.
I agree. I haven’t watched the NBA in years because of the “content of the character” of the current players.
“Im with you. I no longer watch the NBA. Have not for over 20 years. Just another group of thugs. I have zero interest in the NBA”
Not only thugs and wanna be gangsters, but boring to watch. Wouldn’t watch the Finals if they were being played in my living room.
Sports have gone to the dogs.
Maybe if we built them a new stadium they would be good and fun to watch. Yeah, that’s it.
I was roped into going to a Timberwolves game a few years ago. I’m still wondering where the exciting part was. They looked like they didn’t care if they won or not. BORING!!!!!!!!!
“NBA, Players Reach Tentative Deal”
Oh thank God. I was suffering withdrawals. Wait, no I wasn’t. It’s basketball and I’m not a 15 year old gangbanger.
