[QUOTE]The plan was set, the product of a 30-minute players meeting.

The Warriors were going to go through pre-game warm-ups and take part in the national anthem and starting line-up introductions. They were going to take the floor for the jump ball, dapping up the Clippers players as is customary before games.

Then once the ball was in the air, they were just going to walk off. All 15 of them.

If that happened :eek: :eek:

:applause: :applause:

[Bobcats2013]

What a load of BS. :roll:

[EricGordon23]

I would stop watching basketball if that happened

[PejaNowitzki]

Bullshit. Now that its clear that he's being banned, everyone is bucking up and talking shit. Get the **** out of here with that crap. All these guys are trying to one up each other with these fairy tales. "Man, I wouldn't even step foot in that racist arena, I'd go to TJ instead." If the NBA hadn't done anything, they would have suited up and played just like they did on Sunday.


This shit sounds like old people talking about how they used to walk to school 5 miles up hill in both directions.


They wouldn't have done a damn thing and they know it.

[qrich]

Sure they would have.

[JohnFreeman]

50k fine for each player

[EnoughSaid]

Don't their contracts state that they must play? I don't think a team could just walk off the court without any punishment

[Kblaze8855]

Would have been a 50 for 50 special on ESPN in 20 years.

[tmacattack33]

That's some ole BS. :oldlol:

Agreed.

[Beastmode88]

More media hype. They wouldn't have the balls to do it.

[inclinerator]

this is getting out of hand, like sterling is the new hitler or some sht

[Straight_Ballin]

One bitch aZZ one upper even threatened to go on national TV and make a statement that Jordan isn't GOAT if Sterling wasn't banned.

That would have to be the ballsiest move of all time!

[Derka]

Say that shit before 2pm and maybe I believe it.

You risk nothing by saying this shit hours later.

Its time for all of us to be done with this and just watch some f*cking basketball.

[RoseCity07]

Easy to say it after the fact. Empty threat. Why don't I just talk about how I was going to whoop someone's ass if the sun didn't rise this morning.

[STATUTORY]

all this canard about what players "would have" done, lol so easy to talk after the fact

[Miller for 3]

If they did that they should have been banned as well. Being racist to a racist is racist. I hope the NBA fines them for even suggesting this

[tmacattack33]

Also, Sterling is still the owner of the team.

The penalty was just (yes, for a billionare it is "just" 2.5 mill) a 2.5 million dollar fine and a threat by Silver to do whatever he can to make sure Sterling owns the team.

So the warriors could still do their protest if they really wanted.

If that happened :eek: :eek:


Would the players personally reimburse the cost of every purchased ticket?
