    Labor talks have indeed ended. Chris Paul told Bloomberg News on way to car, "We just couldn't reach an agreement."

    Talks are, indeed, done for today. Union to speak in a few minutes...

    Jeff Kessler just rushed through the lobby. No joke.

    If players were willing to accept 52% of BRI, that means they came down .5% from last week's meeting.

    Right on cue, Jeffrey Kessler hustles through lobby looking like a guy who just missed his train. Talks have broken up.

    Another source says BRI was only "partly" of breakdown in talks.

    Talks broke before union attorney Kessler even arrived. He just got to hotel from airport and took elevator up.

    Parties will speak with media in hotel lobby. No jovial press conferences today.

    Source says that two sides also "couldn't agree on final pieces of system." No new sessions scheduled. Kaboom.

    According to Bloomberg News, Paul said "hope so" when asked if there will be another meeting this weekend.

    The two sides had come too far to just walk away from table for long. Would be shocked if they don't regroup and get right back to work.

    No future meetings scheduled and more cancellations will be announced soon. We're basically back where we started.

    My hopes were up yesterday, but when I started reading about this not completing until Saturday I started to get suspicious. :(

    There will be an agreement soon if they are so close. Not sweating it. If they need a day or two away from each other to get some fresh air, so be it. But walking away when there is a deal right there is pathetic.
