HOW THE HECK DO YOU MEET FOR 12 FREAKING HOURS AND GET NOTHING DONE?!?!?!?

How is that possible? What the heck do they do in there? For crying out loud...

I don't even care who wins anymore I just want basketball now.

 

[Chi-Town Brahma]

Wow, this is getting ridiculous. How do u meet for nearly 10hrs and come out with zero progress? They better get moving with this quickly again. Hammer the damn thing out. We're all tired of it..

 

[zack54attack]

We aren't getting a season. I'm giving up hope :/

 

[AE23]

yeah, were done for this year, i had that feeling it was gonna be worse than the NFL lock out cause of the NBA's guaranteed contracts and other issues.

 

[BNB]

They have been meeting for 5 hours today so far.

that makes it 17 hours total in 2 days.

If they don't come to an agreement today, then I'm gonna lose all hope.

But even if they don't agree today, people on TV and the radio are saying that the sides are close enough to get a deal done in time for at least a 50 game season.

 

[BNB]

so some guy Dave Checketts said that the NBA and the Union reached a deal.

Then 5 minutes later there were 5 reports saying that was false.

Way to get peoples hopes up

probably because neither of the two sides is willing to compromise that easily

its basically a stalemate....we can only hope that common ground is actually found

i've been hearing alot of optimistic reports..but they all appear to be false when i see what really is going on

i hope i'm wrong, but i doubt there being a 2011-2012 NBA season...

@HowardBeckNYT: Person involved in NBA talks: "Nothing has changed between last night and today."


That's nice. Maybe if they meet for another 50 hours they'll agree to 1 thing.

To start a new Base-ketball league.

I havent watched that in a while LOL... thanks for reminding me. It's a perfect representation of what's wrong with pro-sports.

bottom of the TV on NBATV.

"NBA Labor Update: Owners and players are meeting in New York City"

oh really? I was wondering what was going on

 

[BNB]

according to Rager Mason, a player involved with the meetings, they are "still a ways away."

That's exactly why we are all getting tired of it. Someone has to lose...hmm maybe the multi-millionaires/billionaires should help make this a bit easier. They already lost their casual fanbase...which neither side cares.

Code, we are the ones getting eff'd over the most & it's clear they don't care. Which is unfortunate, right? LoL

Though, all of us diehard Bball fans are just hopping they get it done soon. I guess I'll continue to keep my fingers crossed..
