Seems they have resolved the NBA lockout overnight and will play a 66 game schedule starting on Christmas Day.

Is it true that the players had a better deal in August?  Hard to feel sorry for them.

Owners. It was always gonna be that way.

Christmas Day line up looks good,  Knicks V Celtics, Mavs V Heat i think Lakers V Bulls aswell!  Hopefully they stick with this!
Happy to see it back, now if the Knicks can get a Big man somewhere i would be really happy.

Will we have our Christmas dinner in the garden this year carmen?

[Carmen Stateside]

Cant see any reason why not!

Chargers 10-7 up at HT but the crowd turning on Rivers. He hasn't done much wrong - sacked once - but unadventurous. Seems like he just wants one game without an interception.

Raiders woeful in the red zone. Hope that doesn't haunt them. Especially with the no score 4th quarter problem looming.

Win for the raiders now will put the Falcons in with a great shot at the playoffs. Hate having to be depending on the Raiders though.

Raiders woeful in the red zone.

And again, janikowski 6 FG's gets the record though

[tyroneman]

Fcuks sake. Penalties to a minimum and we give 1 up on a TD play. What is going on with the red zone drought 

[Puckoon]

Nervous O'Neill?

Nervous O'Neill?

Well, at 13-13, Rivers has 90 seconds to prevent the season ending right here.

[ONeill]

Overtime - Denver win toss.

Disaster.
