NBA Lockout / Day 143

A look at the NBA lockout through Thursday:

* Games lost Thursday: 8.

* Total games missed: 123.

* Negotiations: The sides will hold a formal bargaining session today.

* Today’s best canceled game: Knicks at Clippers. On what was to be the Clippers’ only appearance on national TV, viewers would have had a chance to see No. 1 draft pick Michael Olowokandi while also hearing transplanted New Yorkers drown out the Clipper faithful.
