The main part of the 2009-10 season hasn’t started yet. This was, of course, planned this way and we’re definitely looking forward to it. But one of the things that I’m kind of disappointed about, still, is that we might not get to see our favorite referees on the court when the season opens on Tuesday. Joe Crawford, Tony Brown, Leroy Richardson. Where have all my refs gone?? They are still on lockout at least until later today. The possibility exists that they will be back in time. In fact, they signed a tentative deal with David Stern and others this week that might get ratified today. That would mean that our buddies will be in training camp over the weekend and then be ready to go next week. Hopefully this happens. I’m sure the temporary replacement referees are good, but these guys are stars!
