NBA LOCKOUT / Day 185
A look at the NBA lockout through Thursday:
* Games lost Thursday: 1.
* Total days of season missed: 59.
* Total games lost: 402.
* Earliest estimated date season can start: Feb. 1
* Negotiations: Nothing scheduled. The union has drawn up a “final” offer but has not yet given it to the owners.
* Projected player salary losses (through Feb. 1): More than $500 million.
* Today’s best canceled game: Seattle at Minnesota. A rematch of one of last year’s best first-round playoff matchups when the SuperSonics beat the Timberwolves, 3-2.
* Quote of the day: “They refused to meet with us, so we’re not giving it to them. That’s no way to negotiate. We’ll sit on this until Jan. 7 if we have to.”--Union attorney Jeffrey Kessler after the sides could not agree on how the players’ new proposal would be delivered to the owners.
