Finally, the 149 day lockout(The second longest lockout ever) of the NBA has settled and an agreement has been made. The nuclear winter of the NBA is over.
A 15 hour session of negotiating between the NBA and the players took place in New York City on Black Friday and lasted until early Saturday morning at around 3 AM. Usually the season starts around 30 days from the date of the agreement.
The 2011-2012 season will begin on Christmas Day and will consist of 66 games. Training camps and the free agency will both start simultaneously on December 9th. This gives teams only a couple weeks to prepare for the season.
The three Christmas games that are to take place are - Miami Heat at the Dallas Mavericks; Chicago Bulls at the Los Angeles Lakers; as well as the Boston Celtics at the New York Knicks. This should be a great start to the season!
