'Til the players agree to lower salaries. The owners who are losing money know they won't be making money by having a season, so have ZERO incentive to change their stance...

Mad skilz! I didn't even know it was possible to do this sort of stuff with clothes on.

You left your clothes on? Pssshh rookie, the lock out on the door was in full affect and trust me the "comish" was thoroughly beat during the lock out.

Or was that Moe's Jeopardy video answer to which the answering question would be what is what NBA players will be watching during the lock out?


Seriously though, that is impressive, although not sure how I'm going to explain the twenty $1 bills stuck to my LCD.
 
It sounds like the players are playing hardball, but just wait until paychecks are missed. Their hardball tactics could turn into softballs and they could crumble quick...I hope.
 
No games missed, it's all posturing until real money is at stake. These clowns have been through this before, they know a ratings hit of 30% for the next 5 years would sink them far worse than being on the slightly worse side of a CBA contract.

...your assuming that these same clowns who can't remember plays, force shot after shot, and are generally uncoachable with bodies loaded with tattoo's from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet....and going to figure out that they need to take the owners offer NOW and keep the checks coming to pay the bills! Not going to happen.

Why is this funny? He is probably right. Players have much more to lose than the owners by a lockout. Under the current system owners were losing money. Under a lockout they don't lose money. Just the players do.

...well, here again we have Stephen A. assuming these clowns have brains enough to figure out what is in there best interest. But as we all know, they don't! They think they are entitled individuals who should be paid more than they are getting now!
