    Stern: "Our economic situation gets worse and we have to begin to account for that."

    No new talks scheduled between the sides. For second time in Stern's tenure as commissioner, a lockout will cost regular season games.

    Sides talked syst only during last 2 days. Stern said gap is w/contract length, annual raises, tax on teams, etc.

    No new meetings scheduled. League will have to account for expected revenue loss when making next proposal, Stern said.

    Among most objectionable aspects of players' position, Stern said, was request for 10.5 and 9 pct for Bird players, 9 and 7 pct for others.

    Each side still officially at 53 percent. They're so far apart on revenues they haven't even talked about it last 2 days.

    Greedy fuckers. WTF were they doing from July to September? If they started negotiating then instead of bitching about each side to the media, maybe this deadline wouldn't have suddenly crept up on them and forced them to cancel games.

    It reflects so poorly on Stern too, to have two labor stoppages causing missed games in a 11 year period.

    How can Stern keep a straight face? The Owners never made ANY concessions. Their STARTING position was a MAJOR reduction on the existing system. The Players actually DID make major concessions.

    I'd like to see people like Buss lose his billion dollar TV deal. That would give him some motivation. Too many stupid owners would actually LIKE to cancel the season. Mull on that for a while: are these really people who deserve to own basketball teams?

    Sorry HCP: my money's on an entire season lost. Minimum.

    Fisher: begins by reminding fans that "a lockout is not a strike."




    In other words, "Hey it's not our fault!"

    hollinger........

    Glass half full: Toronto-Minnesota on Nov 5, with almost no camp and both on back-to-back, had worst-game-in-history potential. We're spared

    Another GM: "I think the best case scenario now is 50 games, but I can see the whole season gone."
