[Ditty]

NBA spokesman says mediator has "asked both sides to refrain from making public comments." Neither side will talk to media tonight.

[Ditty]

The NBA, NBPA and mediator will be back at 10 AM to continue talks. NBA owners in town for Board of Governors

derek fisher slumped on a bench in the hotel lobby, looking like he went three overtimes on a back-to-back.

"See you tomorrow," Fisher says. He means, "See you later today."

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Fisher is in over his head.

Like I said, this is probably about as good of news as we could've hoped for tonight. As long as they are still hammering things out and willing to continue meeting, that means that neither side has dug in completely, and that's what we need to get this ended.

Stern threatening to cancel Christmas games if players don't fold tomorrow in 3, 2, 1...

[timtonymanu]

16 hour meeting and still at "very little." Granted, it's a long process but Jesus.

[Duncan2177]

If it didnt go good they wouldnt meet tomrrrow

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Meeting in separate rooms like children, grown millionaires/billionaires acting like spoiled brats screaming in aisle 7 because they can't have their favorite candy bar.

[Ditty]

When asked if sides had closed any gaps, source in meeting tells Y!; "On small stuff. Hard to see where this is going."

[timtonymanu]

I guess we'll see later on. Personally, I think we'll see Stern cancel games tomorrow.

[Duncan2177]

so...basically they sat and argued for 16 hours and made no progress and scheduled more negotiation

[Ryvin1]

After Stern threatening to cancel Christmas, he plans on canceling player's birthdays and magazine subscriptions.

Fisher is in over his head.

he needs to give a sad story to stern, like the one he gave to utah to get out of that contract.

^Never work:::Miller was a Christian...Stern ain't.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Stern is an admitted satanist.

Spurs gave season ticket holders an option to hold our money and earn a 5 percent credit for playoffs or next season. Or we could begin to receive money back with one percent interest. I opted to start receiving money back. Maybe with us season ticket holders asking for refunds the owners will feel more inclined to start season.

at this point getting basketball in january at the earliest is what you are looking at.

If the players sue then the season more than likely is gone. If they are to sue then it is most likely to happen after these mediator negotiations.

So much for being hopeful about the 16 hour meeting. Can't imagine why they are resuming talks today if 'little' got done yesterday.
