NEW YORK: NBA commissioner David Stern called off 121 more games of the 2011-2012 season as contract talks between club owners and locked-out players broke down, ending all hope of a full schedule. Stern had already wiped out the first 100 games of a season that was to have started next Tuesday. “It’s not practical, possible or prudent to have a full season now,” said Stern. “We’re going to have to recalculate how bad the damage is.”
