I'm sick and tired of a bunch of rich guys fighting over money. Some of these small market teams shouldn't be in the League anyway. It waters down the talent. Yet the owners are trying to make them happy.The players association is really representing the stars anyway. Basketball will soon look like the The World Wrestling Association. Maybe we need to talk about college Basketball or something. I can tell from some of the blogs we've ran out of things to say to each other because this lockout sucks.
Yeah I hate the greed but I miss the game, even if it has diminished into a bunch of reckless athletes with poor fundamentals. The Knicks are finally relevant again, and of course there's a f*cking lockout!
I'm just about holding on- I'd love to be able to just walk away from it all, but I won't for now. It's the owners who have really riled me- the greed, the fact that some of them will genuinely see the game ruined, just to plumpen the amount of money they make when they sell their team- those are the ones that really put me off being a fan. The poorer owners who genuinely want a bit of financial help, I can see where their coming from and even though I don't agree with them, they don't p*** me off as much as the Allen's and Sarver's.
If we lost a season, I don't think I'd be back and I don't think the quality of the game would be worth coming back for, to be honest- a year off would ruin a lot of players careers.
I'll forget about it all if they start playing soon, but I really doubt they will.
MAN, I not only love the game, I'm addicted to watching it. Sure, I will adapt to not having it but once the lock out is over,....DirecTV League Pass.
Prefer they strike a bargain and have remainder of season. It's pretty bleak having only football to watch this winter. And that's half over.
Let's go -- 51% it is and let's play.

If the meeting fails on Sat. We just may be kissing the season goodby.
I really hope they have a season. There are things I am sick of (i.e. seeing Melo tweet about sneakers and his wife's show when the labor situation seems dire). However, I also want to see Shump, Jorts and maybe Jordan get some run. I really missed the summer leagues and the exhibition games where you get to see these guys play. D'Antoni eased up a bit last year and gave some young guys run. I hope there is a season and these guys get to play.
I'm pretty disgusted by all this posturing. If there's no season I'll still miss it but only after football ends.

And the Giants are not doing as well as they should. Hope they can beat the Pats in the foxhole.
I'm not turned off by any of it because I'm not paying much attention. I stopped caring a couple of years ago.
The NBA is now listed below NASCAR and

I cannot believe this season may possibly go down the tubes.
I hate the players, I hate the owners and I hate the fact that all the smug basketball purists who think NCAA basketball is really all there is to "real" basketball, will have this greed-driven debacle to add to the Tim Donaghy fiasco.
I will have no defense.

I feel the same way. I haven't logged on here in months, thats how much I don't care anymore.
who wants a season? I mean really... missing watching 4-5 months of meaningless basketball to watch the no defense Melo led Knicks lose in the first round seems like a waste of time to me. I think Im better off without this season. They are doing me a favor
