NBA 2011-2012 Lockout: does anyone care?

I'm very upset by the lockout. I'm huge fan of professional basketball. And in my opinion there is no need for such a lockout. Think of the rookies who are gonna be on the roster this year, their dream is to play NBA basketball and unfortunately they made not be able to because of the lockout. Me, personally, I'll be upset if any games will be lost.
