They are continuing the playoffs

[Gohan]

B-ball fans rejoice. There might not be any games tonight but they will continue

[rawimpact]

Are there any BBall fans left?

Theyve politicized it

[Ghost1]

ESPN Sources: Several key members of Lakers -- and some peers around league -- stayed up until early AM hours talking through issues in The Bubble. Among key players in league heading into 11 AM meeting, there's optimism about a majority of players wanting to continue playoffs.

Well you are posting on a nba forum. If black athletes speaking out bothers you, you are free to quit watching. Sports are inherently political. Not many other events in society force you to stand as the national anthem plays. As long as they do that, don't get mad when athletes say what is on their mind.

Yaaaassssss!!!!

Why do you post on a basketball message board if you're not a fan? That's pretty pathetic tbh.

Basically that means the players only wanted to boycott some games to send a message. Cant believe LeBron was about to f*ck this up :facepalm

I don't know what was with all the reports of clippers/Lakers wanting to leave. Sounds like the "sources" inside the bubble are shit. A 1 or 2 day protest is fine, they at least didn't cancel the season.

What a stupid post, you’re up one game to an injured 7 seed

Not sure where Clipper fans’ arrogance comes from

Up 3-2 with no Beverly all series and Paul George playing like a d leaguer

Cancelling the season with all the effort and money put into it wouldve been more than terrible. Flat out ridiculous

Boycotting the season would 90% only hurt die hard fans. The ratings are at an all-time low so it wouldnt make THAT much of a difference.

However if they refuse to play for some days it will be noticed and send the message that they are not happy with what happened. No need to cancel the whole thing really

[Gohan]

Lol doc was literally trying to lose game 4 by not ever calling timeout when mavs was on a roll. Clippers could have easily won that game. Then Kawhi took a bad shot at the end of regulation. Mavs lucked up luka makes that team worse when he is on the court. He did have a good game 4 though

Losing game 4 and this 1 day postpone just gives Beverly a chance to be fully healthy for the close out game and rest of playoffs. 2nd best net rating player. It worked out for clippers nicely.

Agreed. Now are we going to get all 6 cancelled games on tomorrow? That would be cool

no ****ing shit, you think these nikkas were going to **** up their money? This is simply just a bs publicity stunts for attention, nothing will change, nothing really will be done but they can say on august 26th 2020, we boycotted. Clowns

Its better than nothing. The BLM ads might have gone unnoticed by people who dont watch bball.

But if an entire league stops for a moment for this matter, its definitely sending a message or at least being noticed

sending a message to whom exactly? The choir? Cause the only people paying attention to the NBA are the people who already know all this shit and if they're trying to reach the conservative types who don't give af, good luck. So they're either preaching to the choir or preaching to the deaf, either way, this had no impact other than getting social media likes. Thankfully i stopped using social media a while ago, so i am not bombarded with all this bs

[Gohan]

Y’all make sure y’all get out and vote

[tpols]

damn that was weak... less than 24 hours? i thought theyd keep it up for at least a week to build some pressure and doubt. seems theyre coming crawling back.

the list of things they achieved with the boycott has as many points as bran's 2019 playoff run

Relax, mavs just got but****ed by 45 points. Porzingis on a time restriction isn't going to change much, you act like he's Durant or something LOL

[KOBEtherealKing]

Just as I thought. Nowadays Everybody’s just being politically correct. Ppl were gonna be mad if they boycotted al together, ppl were gonna be mad if they didn’t do it Long enough. they just needed to show they tried

Correct. Posts contesting yours are dumb.

Of course we can nitpick. I still love basketball, just not the nba. They have chosen to strike at a time when they are paid millions/more than 99% of the world could ever earn in many lifetimes.

Whether you agree with the social side or not is irrelevant.

I hope many fans tune out of the nba. I will. I may check games sometimes eventually, but now no longer see the players as fellow human beings. They showed us all that they are not just in a bubble physically- but socially, politically, and psychologically.

Why watch when they might strike anytime.

[red1]

absolutely. no way in hell the players and board of governors would deny the raps (GOAT franchise) a chance at repeating.



NBA wins again

Wisconsin sports team in unity agreed to not play. I respect that.

lol And what do they think shutting down the NBA restart would accomplish? We're already used to no sports anyway with the months before. These nikkas are ****ing stupid...and that shouldn't surprise anyone. They play a children's game for a living. Not exactly a bunch Nuclear Physicist, no?

Just saying, they are out there for their prowess physically and not mentally. LeBron is the most embarrassing of all. Running his big mouth without knowing about anything. He barely has a hs education (you just know they were letting him slide), so what the **** does he know about anything? Dribble a ball and shut your ****ing mouth...or become a lot more intelligent and informed. I doubt you'll do the latter, so do what I said, boy.
