Yet another lockout update...when will this end

(AP)

If you've been paying attention to the NBA lockout for the past few months, you've probably realized that there's a painful pattern developing between the union and owners.

They schedule a meeting.

They meet.

They discuss all the topics, realize that they can't agree on anything, exchange barbs through the media, and don't schedule another meeting for weeks at a time.

It's a maddeningly slow and grueling process for the fans, and as more games get cancelled,  people will undoubtedly turn their attention elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Chris Sheridan wrote an article detailing the current status of the issues. It's a good, detailed read and it'll give you a sense of where things stand at the moment.

As of right now, no more meetings have been scheduled (shocking), and even though there have been rumors of a secret 82 game schedule in the works, it's becoming increasingly unlikley. In fact, it's believed that tomorrow will bring about the next round of cancellations, presumably an additional two weeks.

Hopefully they can get back to the bargaining table soon, and for the love of God, just bring us basketball again.

Something tells me this NBA world tour will not satisfy fans for long.
