1st 2 weeks of NBA season canceled

Cancel it all.

 

Do you think owners have ever thrown money at players who turn out unmotivated? I can think of a couple...

 

The players are toast no matter what. It’s funny how basically only one scrub player realizes this:

But keep standing united when it's only going to hurt you more and more...

 

These greedy fockers are losing the fans.

 

I don't see this going anywhere

either we'll lose at least 2 months or the whole season gets cancelled

 

Here are the games during that stretch.

vs LA Clippers
@ New Orleans
vs New Jersey
vs Minnesota
vs Dallas
@ Minnesota
vs San Antonio
@ Detroit

The winnable games are in bold.

So the Rockets will miss 5 home games, and 2 or 3 away games.

By the way, December looks brutal. At least next year's draft class looks good.

 

Actually, those would be the first games if more weeks don't end up canceled. These are the canceled games so far:

Nov 1 @ Utah
Nov 2 @ Sacramento
Nov 5 vs Utah
Nov 8 @ Indiana
Nov 9 @ Philadelphia
Nov 12 vs Golden State

 

Anyone down to start Thabeet and tank a 40 game season? :grin:

Andre Drummond
6-11
250
Center
UCONN
Projected to go #2 in the 2012 draft.

3. Marcus Morris
4. Patrick Patterson
5. Andre Drummond

 

Because the CBA has already expired, the owners would ahve up to if i remember a year after the expiry before they'd be liable for anything, ie decertification isn't really plausible anymore.

 

Sign me up. I'm tired of finishing 16th and not making the playoffs.

 

players should have decertified 3 months ago.

 

wholeheartedly agree!

It's time for the NBA to start over, get rid of Stern, cancel the whole season and look honestly at the best way to handle the new league.

 

I really wish we could get a semi info blog on some common sense and/or legalities here, like why they can't decertify anymore, why forming a new league is impossible (potential lawsuits, that professional sporting leagues have monopoly exemption laws from the govt etc (it's why every sport consolidated into a single league))

 

Still sticking to my prediction, owners are going to have a decisive victory, and they are going to get everything they want.

 

This is one of those times I wish I was not right.

I knew the last 2 days were just a dog and pony show. Owners want to negotiate with the players while they are under deres.


I hope the labor board rules in their favor.

 

After stabbing his hometown fans' collective heart, this is a touching sentiment.

 

I read somewhere that the owners get their TV money this year, but in the form of a loan. So if they cancel the season then they will actually lose 2 seasons of TV revenue because the earnings for the following season (assuming they have one) would basically go to paying off the loan from this missed season. If that's true, then that's not a good look for them.

 

Who's fault is that? Still the GM's fault.

 

so the cap is 70 and I am not even 1 M over. What is the problem ?
