So the NBA has canceled the first two weeks of the season, and by all indications, a lot more games — if not the whole year — will follow.

My reaction when I heard about this was, "Oh, well."

I'll be the first to admit I'm a baseball/football guy. I even like the NHL as much, if not more, than the NBA. But I know a lot of sports fans who probably won't lose a moment's sleep if there's no NBA this season.

The NFL dominates our sports minds from the beginning of September through the end of January. By the time the Super Bowl ends, the college basketball season is heating up and pitchers and catchers are reporting for MLB spring training. Most people probably don't care about the NBA until the playoffs roll around in the spring.

For the NBA's sake, I hope they can work through their differences and salvage part of their season. But come December or January, when a decision on the NBA season would need to be announced, I think most fans will be more interested in whether the Giants or Jets make the playoffs or what free agent moves the Yankees or Mets have made.
