It definitely does.

Looks like Thunder/Rockets is off too. Wonder when or if they decide to play next.

And there goes the season. Oh well.

Sure about this?

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.

What does the billboard say, come and play come and play, forget about the movement.

I just think multiple professional sports teams across multiple sports striking during already perilous seasons is going to have some effect..

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.

He said the NFL might have an impact.

Are the Bruins going to wear Blue Lives Matter patches tonight?

NBA should have just gone straight to a single game elimination tournament

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.

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.

Part of me wonders if the Lakers and Clippers voted that way to convince the owners that ending the season is a real possibility.

Gotta be Wiseman, right?

I certainly don't want a perimeter player who can't shoot or play defense like Edwards or Ball.

Is this a smokescreen?
