A little poll from NBC Talk website:
How much of an NBA season do you think there will be?
They will solve it soon at have at least 70 games - 7%
About 60-65 games - 12%
They will solve it at the last minute and have 50 games - 28%
There will be no NBA season - 31%
The NBA is locked out? I was too busy watching football to notice - 22%
The last 2 are the most worrying!
Who are the biggest winners of the NBA lockout?
The NFL!

Nah, I think NCAA Ball will be a bigger winner of an extended lockout. NFL is going to succeed NBA or no NBA NCAA is probably on the verge of one of the best college seasons in awhile. Several lottery prospects have choosen to remain in school (H Barnes, J Sullinger, T Jones) plus a good freshmen class coming up (A Davis & A Rivers etc.) Many NBA viewers will turn to NCAA. NHL could grow in popularity as well after last years successful stanley cup series.
And BTW I still reckon there will be an NBA season. It seems like the two parties are finally getting their act together and are seriously negotiating atm.
I can't see the players staying united through Dec/Jan as opposed to the owners who have pre prepared for this lockout and either do not need NBA income or are actually saving money from not having team expenses.
