With the first pick in the NBA Draft the New Orleans Hornets select.....  Well I think we all know that Anthony Davis is going number 1 overall.  However, the rest of the first round is really up in the air.  The draft is pretty deep this year and there are a lot guys with the same talent level.  This makes it difficult to predict how the first round will turn out after Davis is drafted by the Hornets.  Another factor that makes this draft hard to predict is the vast trade possibilities.

Heat vs. Thunder......  LeBron vs. Durant......  Wade vs. Harden......  Folks we got ourselves one heck of a talent filled Finals this year.  Game 1 of the 2012 NBA Finals kicks off tonight in Oklahoma City at 9:00 P.M. (ET) on ESPN ABC.  Before I get into some numbers and what I think they mean, here is a quick look at the schedule for the NBA Finals.

On June 30 the NBA decided to follow suit with the NFL and locked out their players.  Since the NFL is the most lucrative and popular of the four major sports, the media has been all over the NFL Lockout announcing even the most minute details like the color of tie that Roger Goodell wore to each "Secret Meeting".  Note to the media and the NFL:  If everyone knows about the meeting it just slightly rips the meaning of secret right out of the concept.
