Press conference on ESPN right now. Oh well, after January I guess I will READ on sundays LOL

The funny thing is, the players *think* they have all this leverage, but they really don't.

Truth be told, the NBA overall isn't profitable. Too many teams lose money....

The 76ers can't survive in this town right now with the phillies, Flyers, and Eagles all being winning franchises.

Agreed

The NBA is overrated anyhow!

With no year of LeButthead playing, the better he'll NEVER win a ring!

I'm upset about this because i love the NBA. I blame the players for this lockout with their money hungry selfish asses. They ought to be happy with the salaries they're getting because if they didn't play basketball, they couldn't get a job because they're uneducated and ignorant. I know the fans are mad at the players about this. Cleveland Cavs is another team that's losing money because they're gonna be sorry for a long time hahahahahaha. I wish Lebron would've stayed with Cleveland but i guess he got frustrated because he couldn't win championships with them. He needs to understand that getting a championship is hard and there's lots of great players before him that never got a championship.

Heard about this yesterday, and hoped that the spirit of greed would leave their hearts, and this would be resolved. Whatever. Didn't think it was possible, but i lost even more respect for many of the players. NBA Cares?? Ya'll sure got a funny way of showing it. i'm sure some of you care, but many obviously don't. if they did, they'd realize that most families already can't afford ticket prices, get your wish and nobody will be able to enjoy games with their family. Thanks for caring NBA. :rolleyes:

I agree with you. NBA players are selfish and money hungry. They don't give a damn about the fans because whether they realize it or not, the fans are the reason why they're wealthy.

Exactly!! And sadly, this can be said for athletes in most sports today. The whole NBA Cares campaign is mostly a facade to try and cover up most of the players greed. It's disgraceful IMO.

You're right about the NBA Cares campaign being a joke. They care alright about poor people hahahahahahahahahahaha. All they care about is making their pockets fat with money and buying nice cars, nice houses, jewelry, nice clothes, nice shoes, spending money on hot women hahahahahahahahaha.

I survived in 1998-99 with a short NBA season so I guess I can do it in 2011

Ha ha ha, very good point, and very true. Couldn't have said it any better myself!!

Brad Russ, did you read the article somebody on here posted about NBA players are broke after 5 years of retirement? Isn't that pathetic?

Naah, didn't catch that. Send me a link, and i'll check it out. Very sad. Doesn't surprise me though. Many players come from nothing, and so when they come in to money, they go nuts.

After this season the fans will come up with a slogan of their own, "Who Cares" That's certainly how i feel now. They don't care about me who complains less then them on less then minimum wage, why should i care about them?

LOL@you said the fans are gonna have a slogan saying who cares about the NBA hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. You're probably right. I got 2 jobs as a janitor and i don't complain about the money i make. So if i can live comfortable on my salaries, why can't the players be happy with the millions they're getting? F*cking as*holes.

The NBA players sure aren't very bright considering a precedent has been set when the NHL lost a year to a lockout. I do believe the NFL learned from that and that's a big reason why the NFL was settled.

It's not until the NBA players start missing their paycheques that the reality will sink in.

You're right that reality will set in when they start missing paychecks. That's why some NBA players are gonna play overseas until the lockout is done so they can get paid. They shouldn't have to go overseas because they should already have a lot of money saved when situations like this happen. But that tells how stupid they are.

I feel that people cared about the NHL being locked-out than the NBA being locked-out...since Hockey is Canada's Pastime.

And I won't be surprised that the entire NBA Season won't be played this year.

I survived in 1998-99 with a short NBA season so I guess I can do it in 2011 me too

Well i just found out that more games are gonna be cancelled until December 15th. I'm really upset at the players for this. They're some greedy bas*ards. There's usually a couple of NBA games on for thanksgiving but that won't be happening this year.

The NBA's seasonal game hype is usually Christmas, but I highly doubt we'll see a basketball game this Christmas.

Cleveland Cavs will never be any good hahahahahahahahahahahaha. They had their chances of competing for a championship when Lebron was there and now that he's gone, they won't be good for a long time.

Nba no basketball anymore! Yay! You never saw good ole Wilt or Majic act like these disgusting circus freaks.good riddance.

I got a question here.

How much coverage is the NBA lockout getting in the US?

I'm guessing since there are other sports going on, the NBA lockout isn't dominating the sports news.

Also, what are the chances the entire season could be lost?

It's high, but unlike the NHL Lockout of 2004-2005...it seems no one really gives a ****.
