No Basketball

The playing starts each October in the fall. But alas, this year there is no basketball. Another season should have started for the NBA. However, fans will not see their teams play. From the Knickerbockers in New York, to the Lakers in LA, will this competition start? Nobody can say. As we approach winter, there is increasing doubt. The owners have gotten together and locked the players out. We will not see free throws or slam dunks today. It appears there will be no playoffs in May. With no basketball to see, where shall we go? Perhaps a blizzard will come, and we will shovel snow. For Francine's Winter Couplet contest (a winter sport (watching or participating) category chosen).
