NBA lockout 2011

[Mortis]

I'm surprised no one has talked about this, yet.

Pre-season and almost the entire month of November will be void of the NBA.

Of course, it's all about money.

I think if they end up cancelling the christmas games then they will just cancel then season, its a huge mess already.....Money always causes problems

todays meeting sounds promising so far. the fact the it wasnt scheduled makes it just how the nfl began to make progress. fingers crossed

 

[NEWTDOG101]

Yeah I hope 2days meeting was a turn around!!! True, its always about the money just like this online gaming deal!

F*** the NBA, David Stern and the multi-millionaire and billionaire whining cry babies.

I don't think I can make it thru the winter without the NBA.

 

[lcid86]

I haven't missed the NBA. I enjoy seeing a game in person, but I really don't pay much attention until the playoffs. If they start in January with a 50 game schedule, I'd be ok.

I never went to a NBA, I would love to go the the MSG and watch my Knicks espically now that there playoff worthy but it will be sad to see the season cancelled. I wont lose any sleep over it but its just sad, they deserve to play the games. I hate owners of sports there all money hungry junkies

You should go down to Wall Street & protest them there bastids.

I was reading some nationwide poll and 75% of Americans in the poll didn't care about the lockout. I'd have to agree with that, I haven't seen as many people mad about this than the NFL lockout in July. Hopefully there eventually can be a season!

 

[Charzr]

The players got a revised offer from the owners, they [Players] will get together next week to discuss the offer. Heard on ESPN that if they accept this offer we will get a 72-game season starting Dec. 15

 

[TrueOC]

This is a shame that basketball cant be played. Finally when my Knicks start looking good and make the Playoffs we wont get to see it. I feel bad for the old veterans, I mean if this year is cancelled they will be 1 year older, Will they still have it in them to play?

byebye season

 

[cardriverx]

so sad. after probably the greatest nba season in my lifetime last year, they couldn't even do some 2-year temporary thing. horrible.

 

[PC69]

Meh.. So hell bent on people boycotting the NBA because there all nothing but a bunch of selfless money hungry sons of bitches. The paychecks they get and they do this to all the fans. To hurt the brand the way they are by missing a entire season... Seriously... Every players rep should be let go. Iam just a stupid frustrated fan. It really is a disappointment and Iam not happy as a fan with anyone involved.

 

[xdeucesx]

weee

i hope its shut down 4 lyfe

 

[TrueOC]

lol, im not gonna lose any sleep over a missed season. I could care less but its just so typical after the Knicks sign superstars to compete for a championship, this happens now a locked out season. oh well

Yep the whole entire collective bargaining talks broke down because of the knicks new acquisitions..... **** David Stern and the Players Association for holding all of us up because the knicks made a few moves. Typical......

This has to do with some selfish, greedy mofos. Thats what it comes down to.

 

[grilldoggy]

I think I'd rather see baseball cancelled than the NBA. It's more exciting, a little bit better than watching paint dry.

 

[TylerN]

i would rather watch lebron choke again

 

[TrueOC]

I would love to see lebron choke, but im over the hate for him after he choose not to come to new york. I really wished he came but im way happier with amare and carmelo.

 

[Cdub512]

And JR Smith wins the award for first nba player hurt overseas! Since he's playing in China anyway, he would've had to play their for the China league's whole season.

 

[naruto_miu]

I don't know why these players even do stuff like this, I mean don't they make way too much money as it stands? What exactly do they do (In all honesty, what exactly besides play a game for a living)? I mean yes they got talent (Wont take that away from them), but come on lets be real It's still a game in the end

 

[grilldoggy]

There's must be some underlying reason why the players and owners can't come to an agreement. Like they're so rich it doesn't even matter whether they ever work again.
