It’s the long weekend, I’m leaving for Europe (for two weeks) in 4 and a half days, and quite honestly, I’m not feeling motivated to blog or be creative right now.

So, I’m taking the easy route and letting somebody else do the work for me!

The Associated Press compiled a list of key dates in the NBA this season and I figured this may be useful for many of you hoops junkies out there. 

So, again, thanks to the fine folks at AP, here’s a quick look at the 2008-2009 NBA Calendar:
