The NBA players and owners seemed to pull a complete 180 and agree to a new collective bargaining agreement a few weeks ago. And now, the NBA will have a packed 66 game season that will begin on Christmas day and conclude in late June. With that said, here’s what I’m excited about this NBA season.

I was late to the Twitter party, try 5 years late, but honestly, it’s better late than never. I didn’t get it until last spring because I didn’t understand the purpose of it. I also didn’t know how to do it so I held back; a perfect example of how lazy our generation is. But no worries, it only takes a little bit of snooping to figure it out, and once you do you will not be disappointed.

The focus of this week’s Armchair Athlete is the Boys Basketball team and their new season, and what is on the Ram’s schedule this week.
Boys Basketball
This year’s team looks to bounce back from last’s years dissapointing season in which they went 4-15 in their CIAC League and 5-15 overall, and were outscored by 167 points, giving up a total of 1198 points overall. However, it wasn’t all bad as the season included two dominating wins over Darien, and then-Captain Chris Rama earning a spot on the All-FCIAC East 1st Team. This years squad, captained by seniors Nick Depuy and Connor KIlbane, now looks to improve their record and build around their young talent, and make a run at their first state title since 1962.
