Interesting that Bismarck has the scoop.

Given Fernandez and Coyne had to know what was going on, why give a vote of confidence in the paper? Maybe their plan is to play ABA teams the rest of the season to fill the dates.

It's true, the CBA is shutting down for the season.

Yes, word I'm getting is that the Cavs were already on their way to Albany when the decision was made. Tonight and tomorrow's games in Albany will conclude the CBA regular season schedule. The same two teams will play a three-game championship series, with all contests in Albany, on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday (if necessary).

Hey guys..!

Can I say? I told you so?

It was simple economics 101. At least they know when to cut their loses.
Now lets see what they do...go to the PBL or ABA.

Will the PBL take them? we know the JOJO con machine will.

This will really show what kind of brains they have in the former CBA

The Tribune has the scoop because Minot Skyrockets wonderboy Ops Coordinator and D-League groupie, DakotaWiz, always leaks inside CBA info to his buddies at the Wizards and the Tribune in his native Bismarck. He's thumping his own chest when he asked for a link.

At least they are finishing.




I think this is the end of the CBA. I wonder if any of the teams could be absorbed in the D-League?

Condolences?!? Hmmmmm. The CBA is cutting their season short. I don't recall reading that the CBA has folded. Have I missed something?

I guess it was have this or have a team fold and leave just three teams. Not a good sign.

I hope the UFL is watching this because the rumors are very high IF they kickoff it's just with four teams.

It's not worth it.
