A month ago I opened up an article trying to explain the NBA lockout by saying:
“While the matter at hand is complicated, the reason for the lockout is simple: The owners are reporting that they are annually losing in excess of 300 million dollars.”
On Monday, upon news that the NBA Player’s Union has disbanded in an effort to be able to sue the National Basketball Association, I’m reminded that no matter this large can ever be simple.
In the aftermath, in the face of what is increasingly likely a lost season, one question keeps coming up: What side do you blame? My answer is easy:
Everyone. I’m mad at literally every single person involved in this entire process.

With the NBA announcing the cancellation of the first two weeks of the season, there’s been an increase in interest on the state of the NBA and why there is a lockout. The following is a cliff notes version of the NBA lockout, written by an idiot, including links and quotes from people who are in fact, quite intelligent.

Because it’s been light posting, slow news, and because there’s nothing much on the release calendar I’m looking forward to. Here’s my 10 favorite albums of 2011.
