TORONTO - It is getting very close to the first third of the season in coach Brett Brown's season calendar, as he breaks it down from the beginning of the season to Christmas, Christmas to the All-Star break and from after the break to the end of the season. When Christmas comes his team will have played 31 games and may still just have the lone win they picked up against the Lakers at home back on the first day of December.
Those 31 games, for the most part, will be almost a complete waste of time as far seeing this process moving forward, however.
