Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Bargaining Agreement Discussion

lol @ the notion that people hate the players because we're jealous of them.

I hate the players because they're pompous idiots who have to be brought down a peg or sixteen. They've acted bigger than the game for years now, and it's only getting worse and worse. Three year plans to meet up in one city while trying to keep the facade of their options being open and this and that. NBA players are the fakest of all.

THATS why I hate the players. And the fact that they have no leverage and are acting like douches every minute of every day pisses me off even more.

NBAPA meeting is today. They need at least a day to fly all the parties into NY.

Takes a while for lawyers to clear schedules and all convene on the same locale.

But my guess is the "weekend" will include Friday as well.

Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Bargaining Agreement Discussion

Ok, gotcha. Didn't remember the PA meeting today...

Hopefully we'll get a deal done, and maybe the 78 game schedule can still be saved... more games the better.

I said it earlier. I fell like this is the REAL last chance. If the NBA is forced to pay the networks back for ad revenue from the missed Christmas games, the offer will go from 50% all the way back to 43%. That will essentially blow up the season.

Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Bargaining Agreement Discussion

As disgusted as I am by this whole thing, I can't turn away. There is nothing to be gained by prolonging the lockout, so hopefully they can get the deal done now.

Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Bargaining Agreement Discussion

Agree completely with your assessment. It's do or die time for the NBA season. I just don't see the players not realizing it finally... and conceding the owners demands and have a season. The role players and mid tier guys are starting to feel the pressure I'm sure, and unity is about to go out the window.
