I've been going into withdrawal. NBA is the only sport I watch religiously. I'll watch a little bit of baseball, but not much. Just a sprinkling of Formula 1 highlights. Nothing else.
I'm rather peeved to have missed 20 games of the season. And very disappointed that they didn't televise tape delayed Euro League games during the lock out.
And 74comet, the players didn't go to the owners and ask for more money. The owners asked the players to give up $3 billion from what they are making now. And remember, this is a unique business. The owners produce nothing. They have no skill of any kind that the public cares about. All the value of the league is in the players. Nobody give a hoot in hell about watching some random bunch of Joe's play basketball just because Mark Cuban signs their pay check. They want to watch them because they are the best basketball players on the planet. Period.
