    Yes or No. Will the season start as scheduled?

    Stern is a complete jerk, he will not budge, but the owners might over rule him. I think the season is about to be lost and they will start working on next season, both sides are going lose a ton of money.

    The owners seem to want the players to lose game checks before they start to really negotiate with them.

    I would love to be wrong, but the season won't start until after Thanksgiving at the earliest.

    No way the owners overrule Stern. He's a massive bully, but they have made a lot of money letting him be the jackass.

    Yeah, that's what David Aldridge said today:

    While there are no signs of it, my gut says it will happen.

    Speak for yourself unless you are a big hockey fan.

    Honestly they should start the season in December/January any ways but that's another topic. It's looking like they will not get anything done until money starts going down the drain.

    Like they said, owners want players to lose games so there will be no deal, at least by Monday, on purpose.

    Sorry for that, just so pissed at this lockout. It's really making me bitter and act irrational.

    Eff you Stern! I want my Rockets!

    I can agree with that sentiment. Plus the Texans seem poised to do real damage this season if we don't get "Kubiak-ed". Go Rockets AND Texans!

    With ratings being the best in a while, the NBA can't afford to miss games. I think a deal might get done
