To clarify: There won't be NBA talks from FRI sundown to SAT sundown. So four days before regular-season cancellations start MON, not five

Owners and players not talking WEDS/THURS, knowing FRI sundown to SAT sundown is 24 hrs SURE to be quiet for Yom Kippur, unfathomable to me

My take on latest lockout talks: Sides have closed gap by more than 60 pct. 5 days left to make deal. That's a layup. http://t.co/jz8ZXSQ0

David Stern stopped just short of sending this song out to the players: http://t.co/LMa4OIy7

Tweeps are killing me. OK, it's a 12-slice pizza. We're splitting 4 slices, 50-50. The other 8 slices? Bruschetta. No sharing of bruschetta.

Owners are willing to do 50/50 split. Stern made that clear. Players are at 53 pct. Monday is the deadline to save the start of the season.

Example: Let's split a pizza. I'll split four slices with you, 50-50. The other 12 slices? Not pizza. Bruschetta. I keep the bruschetta.

@bomani_jones it was never about fair; just a matter of how big a hit players are willing to take

Stern said deal must be made by Monday in order to avoid cancellation of first 2 weeks of the season. So now we know when the 11th hour is.

***** there go that word again "@vgoodwill: 2 weeks of losses = 100s of millions of dollars. Stern: "The losses will be enormous""

Stern adamant that a 50-50 concept (not a formal offer) was brought to the players, who rejected it. Formal offer was at 47 percent.

FWIW: 50-50 BRI split sounds fair because splitting anything 50-50 sounds fair. In this case, it's 50-50 of what owners deem to share.

Stern now talking, said owners informally offered 50-50 split after formally offering 47 percent. Said players responded by leaving.

Maybe it's just coincidence, but checked NBATV for first time since I wrote my column yesterday. Access denied. Man, Stern is playing rough.
