starts soon

Stern: Conference call will be tomorrow with labor relations committee. Hunter also declines to discuss details before sharing w/ players.

C'mon bitches, leak it. I want to know details.

 

[etiolate]

Tyreke didn't look overweight in that charity game just last week, but who knows until they weigh in.

 

[reilo]

Silver says deal will largely prevent the high-spending teams from competing in the free-agent market like they have in the past.

OOh.

 

[JohnDoe8865]

OOh.

Great success!

 

[Baby Milo]

The season should start every Christmas.... Fuck it... Run the season into august with some outdoor games .. Yup!

hmmmmm.....i like this

 

[peppermints]

Man, stream on NBA.com isn't working and nothing's on NBATV or ESPN.

 

[reilo]

Hunter: Once we present it (to players), we're confident they will support it.

Hope so.

 

[JohnDoe8865]

NBATV on now. Just talking heads so far..

 

[Nelo Ice]

Hope so.

Just make sure the Czzzz don't see it and we'll be good to go.

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

So.....ugh....NBA is back?

 

[Basileus777]

Celtics-Knicks, Heat-Mavs, Bulls-Lakers on Christmas day.

Heat get to watch the Mavs get their rings.

 

[reilo]

Hunter credits "ability of the parties to compromise. ... Rather than pursue this in court, it was in both of our interests to compromise."

I'm thinking owners called their bluff on the lawsuit and the union is going to take the deal presented to them a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Nori Chan]

I blew my twitter up with this news.

I came so much.

 

[obijkenobi]

If this doesn't happen, I'm going to get so depressingly drunk I might have to go into therapy.

 

[reilo]

How a deal was reached:

Amazing. Several of the NBA's Labor Relations Committee members went to bed believing there would be no deal after Kessler called into room.

Amateurs.

The lockout isn't over yet....both sides still have to vote on the proposed cba

Way to be a downer, Danny..

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Players should have worked it into the deal that Roundball Rock is the theme song for every NBA game no matter what network its on.

 

[Forceatowulf]

So... is this lockout bullshit almost over now? Are we gonna get our basketball back?

Please say yes. Kobe needs that 6'th.

nba gaf.
I'd like to get into NBA. Since I am in Europe it's kind of hard to find around here.
Any advice on where i can watch the games? also, any recommended information sources that will help me understand the game/season structures?

At last, the Derrick Williams RotY campaign begins.

 

[rc213]

They better get this shit done, I ain't shopping for a new HDTV for Football and Baseball is pretty far away.

 

[Basileus777]

Broussard:
Players got slightly more than 50% of BRI, but not quite 51, sources say....not sure if it's a band

 

[The M.O.B]

Right before I'm about to go to sleep........It's good to have real basketball back.

 

[pilonv1]

The season should start every Christmas.... Fuck it... Run the season into august with some outdoor games .. Yup!

No way, I need my hoops in November

thanks

 

[reilo]

thanks

Several international posters on here use it and they say it's great. It's your best bet.

I honestly wish I could pay for the equivalent and watch every NBA game (past games, too) and pay like < $150/season instead of the bullshit $80/mo for cable. Reason I don't is because they black out local games :-\

 

[Knux-Future]

Man I'm so hype but somewhere at the back of mind is the feeling that something will fuck this up.

Sleep time now tho.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Guys, I'm really excited for contract year Michael Beasley.

Is this the year you guys get rid of Iggy?

 

[Malleymal]

No bro...

Christmas!

Then the league will run into preseason NFL and the summer won't suck sports wise... The season ends and then baseball playoffs and football begins... College ball can do it's thing in nov and dec. Leggo

 

[ConradCervantes]

Congrats, NBA-GAF. Hopefully everyone won't play like total shit for too long.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

 

[methodman]

I loved that NBA irc channel. I'll definitely be back in that this season.

So hyped for warriors basketball! Wooot

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Luke Babbitt MIP Tour begins now.

Is he a bad enough dude to be Martell Webster good (see: below average)?

 

[masud]

Yes!!! The Knicks dynasty can finally begin!

So are they just gonna play the rest of the schedule or are they gonna redo it? I really wanna go to ny@den.

 

[Duki]

oh wow the moron owners finally agreed to 49-51, the logical fucking bri split

owners save a billion dollars, players get to not feel totally, completely, utterly emasculated

fucking jesus whyd that take so long

 

[Herpes Reasons]

shut down the season.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Yes!!! The Knicks dynasty can finally begin!

Redraw a 66 game schedule. Minor exception being the Christmas day games will remain the same.

 

[jobber]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

i don't feel like committing myself to watch games every night >_>

I had so much time to do other shit.

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

shut down the season.

God.

Fucking.

Damn it.

Can't you let me be happy for one hour?!

 

[Puddles]

We need that pic with the team logos and Best-GAF member allegiances for reilo's OP. Anyone have the template?
