NBA - 2011-2012 - Round 9 complete in the ring

A deal finally reached and thus saving the 2011-2012 basketball season.  As a big NBA fan I'm happy to see this go down for many reasons.  One big reason is if the season had been cancelled, some fans would have never forgiven the sport.  The problem is no fan can relate in any shape or form what either side is fighting for.  We're talking about billionaire owners fighting with millionaire NBA players over unimaginable amounts of money.  I'm curious to see how this season pans out for some of the markets.  I'm a season ticket holder for a team that is predicted to finish near the bottom of the league in a city where basketball is not the dominate sport.  I wonder if they will be able to fill the seats or if this season we are doomed to half filled games in a semi quiet arena.  I sure hope not.  That's it for today - nice and short - I'll keep you posted!
