Hoping For A Long Lockout

[PosImpos]

Lockouts are bad for old teams.

The only thing a long lockout will bring us is a reprieve from hearing about / watching LeBron and the Heat wipe the floor with the rest of the league.

Are they really bad for old teams?

I haven't really looked too deep into the last shortened season but it looks like the Spurs were a pretty old team and they ended up winning it

I would rather watch a full season of Celtics basketball personally. Screw rooting for a lock out.

Many games crammed into a shorter schedule.  Lots of back to backs.

Apparently there were tales from the last lockout of players on a 10-day contract playing 8 games in that 10 day period.

A lockout would be BAD for the Celtics.

I know that in theory it could be bad but I find it hard to believe that it wouldn't help versus a full season.

Plus as I said the Spurs were a very old team and they won it that year (plus it looks like other old teams did well).

I know people are freaked out about back to backs but this is the first year where we struggled with him. The past few years we've been fine with them. I think it has more to do with fluke than with age. Kind of like our putrid home record a year ago.

Long lockout = good for Celtics.

We start off hot so say the season is only 3 months we will be peaking right before the playoffs lol 

Remember the last lockout the 8th seed Knicks made it all the way to the finals I say bring it on.  Short season could bring our old men the focus they need for the whole year since it will be short and most old guys (KG Ray) contracts will be up.

The longer the better as long as there is a season. 

Actually I take that back with a short season there are not only back to back but back to back to backs.

We are screwed

Maybe Doc would be forced to play his bench players.  Of course, injuries lead to things like Harangody first half action, so it might make people cringe.

The problem that a long lockout poses isn't the compressed regular season, it's the shortened preseason.  It makes it harder for improvement to the team to come from Jeff Green and Avery Bradley.

No..as a basketball fan, threads like drive me crazy.

I want my full season of basketball, not a half-a** season that begins in January!!
