I have been saying all along I will be shocked if the NBA starts their season anytime before Christmas, and I wouldn't be shocked at all if there is no season next year. After reading an article from CelticsBlog and Yahoo today nothing in my mind has changed...
"The NBA has returned fire. Actually, it preempted some potential fire with the first shot. The league has filed two unfair labor practice claims against the NBA Players Association, charging it with what the NBAPA threatened to do to the NBA for months. The NBA thinks the NBAPA is being uncooperative in negotiations, and they've taken it up with the National Labor Relations Board in the form of two legal claims. And if you had any hope for the 2011-12 season to start on time, it's likely been blown to bits."
For the Celtics a short season I still think could be a good thing. The old players won't have to log in all those minutes, and the Celtics are usually nasty the 1st 1/2 of the year. Yet, if the whole season is missed it's going to be really sad. We won't be able to see KG and Allen make 1 more run with the Celtics, and most likely it will be a huge changeover for the team. The Celtics only have 3 players under contract after next season (Rondo, Pierce, Bradley). Maybe Ainge can pull another miracle and bring in some great FA's, or we could be back to being a terrible team.
