    Sometimes I feel bad for the reporters who have to stake out these big shots at these odd hours.

    Then I remember they get paid to do this at a five star hotel, and stop feeling so bad for them.

    Word out of NY is NBA owners/David Stern refuse comment on talks, per agreement w/union. Union head Billy Hunter says meeting Monday at 2 pm

    Better that NBA negotiators are reconvening Mon than not, but if a deal was close, wouldn't they just keep going tonight?

    There was NO discussion of split of the BRI at Sunday night's meeting, according to a source briefed on the talks. System only.

    It takes 4 seconds to say, "53" and then say, "No, 50." I'm taking no progress in 5 hours to mean, basically, they said that 4500 times.

    My guess is before if they had agreed on the BRI split, there still would have been a lot to work out. Now I am guessing if they do eventually agree on that number, there will be much less that could hit a possible snag.

    Hopefully by the end of the day tomorrow, everything will be done but about 4 % points. Then two weeks later it will get down to the 51-52 % split in favor of the players.

    Without framework of an agreement on Monday, Stern has insisted he will cancel the first two weeks of regular season.

    Key detail tonight is that sides didn't talk about the BRI split. So the biggest remaining hurdle waits until the final day.

    Though Mon is Stern's deadline for cancellations, Fisher mentioned possibility of meeting into middle of next week. Please, God no.

    In '98, NBA & union had one meeting before games were canceled. Today will be their 6th meeting in 11 days. Effort at least
