And they’re back!! After a lockout that threatened the 2011-2012 season, the NBA is back and we’re ready to hoop it up! The season will be shortened from 82 to 66 games (something that should maybe become a permanent change going forward,) and it looks like even with 16 games lopped off the schedule, this season will be more interesting than most.
