The Outlook of the Season
First, let me remind myself and everybody else about the teams I am committed to write about. Cibona and Partizan from Croatia and Serbia respectively; Boston Celtics, arguably the most famed NBA team (LA Lakers come as very close second); BC Eagles and Harvard Crimson for college basketball; and Belmont Maruaders for high school basketball. This year I am adding the Maine Red Claws NBDL team, associated with the Boston Celtics and the Charlotte Bobcats.
Why did I chose exactly these teams. Either because they are geographically close to where I live, so I am more likely to watch live games, or because of the memories from years ago (I used to watch Partizan in the late-eighties and Cibona in the mid-nineties).

NBA Video Rulebook Released
I’ve been waiting for this for a long time, and I suspect there are quite a few people like me out there. NBA has put together a section on their website dedicated to explaining rules – this time backed up by videos from real games. Of course, the have a rulebook in PDF format, they’ve had it forever, but this is different. At least for me. Now I know exactly when a player committed defensive three second violation.
Once again, here’s the link: http://www.nba.com/videorulebook/.
