NBA Trick or Treat?

Since it is Halloween, I thought I would get into the spirit. The NBA premiered yesterday, and the question is, was it a trick or treat? The answer is really simple, its was a treat. After several months without basketball, any basketball fan must have been thrilled yesterday, especially with the double header we were treated with.  The Boston Celtics @ The Miami Heat, and The Dallas Mavericks @ The Los Angeles Lakers. Although I didn't get to watch the Lakers game because it was a school night, i was very pleased with the Miami, Boston game. This game had all the elements of a good exciting game. Miami was receiving there championship rings, coming off of last years victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ray Allen playing his former team the Boston Celtics, and it was obvious that some of the players (Kevin Garnett) were very angry at him. Of course, there was also that long Eastern Conference rivalry the teams have had for the past couple of years. All this was a recipe for success. The game overall was very exciting, you could see both teams improved with the trades they acquired in the off season and players individually improved on their own game. It was a tight game through the first three quarters; this quickly changed in the fourth when LeBron James and the Miami Heat went on a big run. The final score being 120 Miami to 107 Boston.
