The NBA season is approaching the home stretch. The trade deadline has passed, and the playoff field is becoming clearer. Tanking is also in full swing.
This year the Christian calendar has Lent aligned nicely with the NBA schedule. The religious observance began today -- Ash Wednesday -- and will run through Holy Thursday, April 13, the day after the NBA regular season ends. Playoff players have the next six weeks to fine-tune their game, while non-playoff players can start experimenting for next season.
We offer these eight players, teams, executives, fans and TV networks suggestions for what to give up during Lent.
