It's "baby mama." The phrase is both singular AND plural.

May they all, players and owners, rot in hell while they choke on their own greed.

Has the NBA thought about bringing in replacement players? Bring in European, Asian, and Latin players. I would much rather watch that style of basketball than the street ball that the NBA produces year after year.

There are a group of owners that understand that the NBA is quickly becoming a 5 or 6 city league. This group understands that the overall product has suffered and interest has waned because most teams don't have a realistic chance of winning when the season starts. The ultimate solution is a hard cap with league contraction. Deep down, all of the owners know this.


If you want a scapegoat for this lost season, it's LeBron James. Last summer, James, through his exit to Miami, boldly announced that the inmates were running the asylum. The guys that own NBA franchises didn't get there by letting the inmates run the asylum.
At some point, the question was asked: why be a Cleveland (or fill in non-cosmopolitan city here) fan when any great players you draft are going to bolt for warmer climes before their prime? Maybe this question was asked while someone was watching Green Bay win the Super Bowl. The players are well compensated chattel. The NFL gets it, and I think the NBA finally gets it as well.

greedy punks, Im sure they can find people to play for a lot cheaper. It must be hard making only 10 to 20 million a year. Call me I'll play for 40,000 a year. The players are nothing but a bunch of spoiled brats. Arguing about money over something they used to do for free growing up just cause it was fun to play, now its all about the benjamins, a whole lot of benjamins

What disgusted me most was last Friday..... The way these N***** Black & White were arguing for millions a years more and for if they got hurt during a 1 play season. It disgsted me even more yesterday. When I went out of town and was speaking to a man a didn't even know.

These WhoEvers are fighting for some money on Friday / VETERAN DAY while still those that are done with their serving and have served their time in WARS and Peace times. Our US Men & Women not getting anything while these players are fightin for more Money, Glory, Fame, Flash time, to be looked up at like heros to those children to be looked up to.

Just saying it those Black men & women that still can't get a job today to look at themselves an tell all those NBA Players thankx for showing them your respect and how each of you NBA Players don't give a damn. It's a Shame & a Fact...

Let's see. You get to pay over $100 per seat, $8.50 per hot dog and $12.00 per beer for what?

So 30 multi-millionaires can make sure they don't loose money on their toys. And, so you can watch a bunch of athletically-gifted narcissists jog around for 57 minutes and hustle the last 3 (only if the game is close.)

They can cancel the next 10 seasons as far as I'm concerned.

But some people do care (not just the fans, but all the people who depend on sports events for their living, like the people who sell you the hot dogs and beer).

Also, your mistaking the length of a basketball game for 60 minutes does kind of reveal you not to be much of a basketball fan, so of course they can cancel the games as far as you're concerned.
