2011: A Lockout Odyssey



“We do not come in peace.  Meet our demands or you will feel our wrath.  Your forces are no match for us.  All your BRI are belonged to us!” – hostile extraterrestrial labour negotiator David Stern.
Players have until 5pm today to ‘meet the owner’s demands’ which they have  voted unanimously against.  Optimism abounds that talks will resume before the deadline, and the implementation of the 'doomsday' rollback offer.  The threat made by SternCo is real, and unless the players accept the current offer (the best they will see), a deal will not be brokered. 
Taking the Kent Brockman approach, I for one welcome our new BRI overlords, as resistance is futile.  Thirteen games on tap tonight so regardless of the outcome I will be nice and blatto.

Wednesday's Games (13)
CHA @ BOS / LAC @ TOR / DAL @ NJN (White Russian): All these games are one part good, and one part bad.
CLE @ SAC / HOU @ PHI / IND @ MIL (Budweiser):  It’s the owners of these truly mid-market teams that will cause the cancellation of the season.
NYK @ ATL / SAS @ LAL / DET @ GSW (Lowenbrau): I feel like I should be hyped for these games, but I’m just not.
PHO @ MIN / POR @ DEN / UTA @ ORL (El Dorado 5 year): A few years ago these matchups would have been marquee, but not today.
MIA @ NOH (Hypnotiq):  Drinking the tasty teal drink that shares his uniform’s colour, CP3 would’ve easily had 23/15/11 in this matchup.
