It was fun while it lasted. I'm declaring the undefeated Miami Heat NBA Champions. The Celtics and Raptors can be NBA Champions* if they'd like.

If it was an NFL team that might have an impact but the NBA audience is already down with the cause for the most part. The shit kickers HATE the NBA they are probably happy.

Re: NBA Thread
My prediction? They vote to continue to play after the owners agree to help fund certain initiatives. I could see the NBA allocating a certain percentage of the BRI to BLM and voting organizations or going forward to.

Idk. Owners have already committed to spending $300 million. Maybe you're right, but I'm not sure if promises of spending money will be enough right now. On the other hand, I'm also not at all sure what would be.Monkey_Driven wrote:My prediction? They vote to continue to play after the owners agree to help fund certain initiatives.

Last night was crazy with the reports coming in about what happened at the meeting. It's reported that LeBron and Kawhi were "adamant" about ending the season, but then Dame replied to a post with that report and said, "Where did they get this info?" So who knows.
