The NBA season was supposed to start today. Opening night would have seen the champion Dallas Mavericks host Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls, followed by Kevin Durantâ??s Thunder taking on the post-Phil Jackson Los Angeles Lakers. Instead, the lockout continues: The owners want to split â??basketball-related incomeâ? 50-50, the players want to keep 52.5 percent of it, and games have been canceled through November.
