Basketball: Regular Season In Grave Danger

Tuesday was billed as a very important day in the NBA CBA negotiations. Kind of do or die. It ended with glum faces all round, putting the start of the regular season in major doubt.

If a deal hasn't been struck by Monday, Commissioner David Stern will be forced to start cancelling portions of the schedule. The season is slated to start on November 1 with the champion Dallas Mavericks facing the Chicago Bulls but hope of that game taking place as planned has faded fast.

All signs point to talks dragging on throughout the month, meaning that a shortened season is far and away the likeliest outcome. Stay tuned for updates.
