Now that the NBA is set to return this Christmas, how will they start off with a bang?

Many fans are excited for the return, especially each city that has a franchise. With every day passing with the lockout, countless dollars were lost. Not just the owners & the players but also the local economies. With excitement, there are also many disgruntled fans as well. This was 149 days of hell!

How will franchises get the excitement back with the season already cut in half? The season is only going to be four months long( for teams that do not make the playoffs).

I couldn't have been too excited myself once the lockout was ended. Coming December 25th we will get the chance to finally cheer our teams on (Go Blazers!).

Last year was the hype over the much overrated Miami Heat. This year is very much up in the air.

The New York Knicks will be taking on the Boston Celtics. Should be an exciting game.

Merry Christmas NBA fans!!!!
