    First of all, you are not nice to everyone on here. Secondly, No one hates Mrs HCP. In fact I believe if you took a poll no one would give her less than a B for her efforts on road trips

    I am very pro worker and generally pro union. In this case however, I agree with you. Paul Allen lost $100 million dollars in a single season. How many players have lost money playing basketball? The owners take all the risk. The players are so out of touch and have such a sense of entitlement it's sickening. I can't wait for one of them to say they make a lot of money because they spend a lot of money.

    Are you being serious? :) If the players don't like making tens of millions of dollars for playing basketball, my local Baskin 'n Robbins is hiring. Or maybe they could play for free. I play for free every week at the YMCA -- well actually I pay to play. Maybe they could do that. I mean, it's all about the game, right? ;)

    Wow, many players are getting trolled.

    I wonder if they sense who a lot of fans are siding with?

    If I knew how to twit, or facebook, or whatever the fuck it is this week, I'd be trolling them too.

    Right or wrong, the owners have been far better creating support through the media and fans

    Woj......

    Stern could call for "postponement" of 1st two weeks of regular season - not a cancellation - if progress warrants more talks, source says.

    Reports of meeting over were incorrect. But fear not, I've been assured it's expected to end tonight.

    League officials inform reporters they will let us know when executives are on their way.
