Hey Basketball, WHAT THE FUCK?

I watched a top ten last night with like 4 fucking soccer highlights. I normally love soccer highlights, but these were fucking weak. It had to have been the worst top ten that I've ever seen. I didn't know what was going on, but I knew that I did not enjoy it. I just realized that without basketball, and with baseball ending very soon, I am going to be watching perhaps hockey, but more likely I will watch no sports at all until college basketball fires up. I was just accepting the NBA as a good league again. Lots of young, incredible talent. Some parody going on in the league. Defense being played somewhat, though it still sickens me how slanted the rules are to promote offense. They shit on a lot of goodwill and momentum building from last season. I don't understand how any player can sit out for a year. A 50/50 split between owners is a shitload better than it should be. Where's some compromising to get things rolling? Why are the players fine with throwing away an entire season? Why is this a good time to strike, AGAIN? Basketball has 12 guys on a team, not 25 like baseball, or 53 (though it's blurry) with football. Sign the current deal to a one-year extension and fight this out during the season and next offseason. Don't throw away everything earned by normal people giving a shit about you again.
