    We had a rather easy opening schedule. I could see us winning all of those.

    Are you sure that they wouldn't just re-do the scheduling? Because some teams will play more games than others in this 2 week period.

    6 or 7 huh ... I'm thinking more like 30 or 40 lost "wins" when it's all said and done. This thing is gonna go until after Christmas or not at all and I'd put the odds of either happening at 50%

    Yes, but Oden will have more time to be ready.

    Can't wait until the homers claim this was all part of a master plan by the NBA to screw Portland

    Anyone still think the players will cave in time to save the season?

    Cooler heads will prevail at some point.....You'd think anyway? At some point whoever "wins" will still come out worse in the end because of the ammount of lost games. Most likely it will be the players who lose the most. The recesion has hit everyone in the NBA hard except the players. Time to give a back

    It will be similar to 1999. The season will be shortened, but it will still happen. Perfect opportunity for the Blazers imo.

    Looks like 6 or 7 games Oden won't get injured in.

    6 or 7 more nights Kobe has the opportunity to rape someone

    6 or 7 more games Lebron can't choke in the 4th quarter

    6 or 7 more games D-whistle won't travel 40 times without it being called

    6 or 7 more games Nate won't get out coached

    Meh, I prefer to avoid regular season trash talk. Talk to me when you get deep into the playoffs.

    I will. You can respond when your team gets there without committing collusion.

    By the time January comes around they will have lost more money than what they are arguing over

    What was the main issue in the last lockout, and what ultimately ended it?
