AboveLegit Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 BREAKING: Owners have informed players they are locking out.http://twitter.com/#!/KBerg_CBS/status/86511902804545537 Luckily the union won't decertify like the NFL did, so hopefully they can still come to a mutual agreement. How long do you think this lasts? My guess is over 100 days, the NFL is around that mark now, and considering the amount of teams losing money, I can see this one lasting longer.

Dash Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Gut feeling is that the NBA lockout will last much longer than the NFL's. If I had to take a guess when it would end...probably by winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Everything I have read suggests that the NBA situation is much, much, much worse than the NFL's. So this might be painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Anyone within the organization (coaches, GM's, etc). Damn that sucks. As a Rockets fan I was really looking forward to McHale having the whole summer to work with our bigs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regime Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I was listening to the SVP Show on the radio the other day and Ric Bucher said that the best case scenerio is that the NBA has a 50 game season. Obviously no NBA fan wants a shortened season to any extent, but just think how competitive things would get if that did happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously no NBA fan wants a shortened season to any extent, but just think how competitive things would get if that did happen.That would suck for players, there would be a ton of back to back games. But as a fan, it's better than not having a season at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Aww man, was looking forward to October, hopefully NBA 2K12 tides things over till something happens. 2K12 is also gonna have a lock out in the game. So when you're playing season mode, you only get to play 50 games instead of the full 82. It's already been said be 2K Sports. Players in the game will all have very bad attitudes due to the lock out..... In all reality though, it does suck that there is a lock out but it was expected. It'll probably last longer than the NFL one....hopefully not though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

?QuestionMark? Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Aw man this is gonna suck. Either we have to start liking the WNBA or get used to a long time without basketball. I'm going to need a new hobby until college basketball starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
