NBA needs to stop being afraid of contraction...

 

[kevin cleveland]

I honestly can't say I disagree with the owners.
I tend to not agree with billionaire owners, myself.

The owners are at fault for some, but not all of this. The economy in general is definitely a factor, but their incompetence in giving silly deals to players who don't deserve them are of their own doing and now they're trying to recoup for some of their stupidity.

Sad day, I don't believe there will be basketball until after the new year which is sad because the NBA just got back a TON of fans these last few years and unlike the NFL which popularity seems to be infinite, this will hurt them in the long term.

If this lasts as long the '99 lockout then that's really going to hurt the older contenders. Playing 5 games in 7 days and such Smh. And the ratings were its highest since the Jordan days. This is bad timing all around

Millionaires arguing against Billionaires means we the fan get screwed over



Nice way to follow up one the best years in NBA history

I pray that it doesn't last as long as 99. If we see a prolonged lockout as we did in 99, all the fans that tuned in a record numbers this past season will dwindle down once again.

So the owners should continually lose money, because they're billionaires?

Flawed logic.

Alright posters with knowledge about this.... If you had to put a % on these certain things, what would it be?

1. NBA having games in the YEAR 2011.
2. NBA having a 2011/2012 season at all
3. 2012 NBA draft order...? Do they even have one?
