You may notice that something is a bit different this morning. In fact, if you peruse the entire SB Nation universe of NBA teams you will see that we have gone dark, to collectively note that today, November 1st, should have been opening day of the 2011-2012 season. Almost six months have passed since the Dallas Mavericks eliminated the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals on May 25th on the way to Dallas' first NBA championship, but here we are.
Taking a cue from CelticsBlog, Here are some things that you might recall from a year ago:
- Zorgon's Game One Recap: Thunder 106, Bulls 95
- Sherman's Game One Recap: Opening Night With the Bulls
- My 2010 Season Preview. Simply amazing how I completely nailed every aspect and nuance of what was to come.
- Russell Westbrook's first of what became many, many great dunks from the honey badger last season.
And now that I have effectively depressed you for the next 24 hours, here are some links!
