NBA Dead Ball

Maybe you haven't noticed...

but the only competition going on in the NBA right now...

is between the owners and the players.

The most court play we've seen as spectators is in the court of law.

Because the players could not come to an agreement with the owners

on recent points....

the players threw up a full court press defense.

Any hope of either side finding a common ground was blocked...

making an agreement far from a layup.

Alas, the NBA LOCKOUT continues.

There was hope for an outside shot...

with maybe an ally oop at the buzzer....

but with the players currently disbanding the union and heading to court...

a compromise is not a slam dunk.

Anywhooooooo............

There has been too much goal tending on both sides.

Everyone is guarding

their own interests without working on an assist to help end the lockout.

They should all stop the dribble....

and meet in the middle...with a jump ball.

Even though both the players and the owners are aggressively busy

transitioning

between offense and defense in a court of law...

fans are still hoping a turnover might be possible.

As far as I see it...

both the owners and players are in foul trouble with their fans.

I'm not really sure what is preventing both sides to rebound

and move forward from the backcourt,

but I'm sure it involves $$$.

I say, end the impasse...

with a give and go

before the entire basketball season is lost.

If I could...

I would give both the players and owners Technicals...

and give the fans

a couple of Free Throws at them both.
