Hopefully they can get a deal done in the next month or two so we don't have to miss any games.

I doubt it though... this looks like it can get ugly.

Idk who "won" back in 98, but I doubt there will be a winner in this scenario. People don't much like the idea of rich people fighting with even richer people over who gets more of billions of dollars while also trying to screw the other side over (not that I don't expect that to happen because that's just how business works unfortunately). I'm calling no season while hoping I'm dead wrong. Time to find a new sport to watch...:(

if a good portion of the NBA season is lost, I'll just focus more on NCAA ball

It's a sad, sorry state of affairs when millionaires are bickering with billionaires in both the NFL and NBA. Meanwhile fans who follow these asshats (on both sides of each lockout.) are losing their jobs and struggling to pay the bills, put food on the table, etc.:smh:

Hockey is a wonderful thing my friend. C'mon down....you're more than welcome!!

I think the NHL might actually benefit from the NFL and NBA lockouts.

I really don't blame the owners much, here. The NBA isn't like the NFL, where everyone is making truckloads of money and they just have to figure out how to divide it up. 22 teams in the league are losing money. When two-thirds of the franchises are in the red, something is broken and needs to be fixed. I know, I know, some of you will say the owners did this to themselves with their out of control spending, and I don't necessarily disagree with you. But what's done is done, and they need to find a better way to go forward if the league is going to survive and prosper.
