Another announcement will come today from commissioner David Stern, saying that at least two more weeks will be cancelled. It will be the third announcement of cancellations, and most likely not the last.

Three days in one week is a sign of progress, but those meetings have been the pinnacle of cooperation between the owners and the union. The two sides met twice the week before and twice before that in much less time than what was shown this past week.
In comparison, the NFL and the player’s union didn’t meet as many times or for as many hours as the NBA during their respective lockout, but actually made progress and kept scheduling future meetings to get a deal done. After last Thursday’s meeting of NBA owners and players, nothing has been scheduled between the two side...

Two more weeks of the 2011-12 NBA season were canceled yesterday because the owners and players are still so far apart in their current labor negotiations. I’m confused, though, because David Stern has already made so many empty threats that I can’t remember if this is another two weeks on top of the first two weeks that were canceled, or if this is two weeks after Christmas...
