Boycotts of game 5’s. Rightfully so, I don’t have a problem with it. I don’t know how much it’s going to help but the other thing here is the season in jeopardy? I’d say there is a growing chance we might already be done.

i pray that doesnt happen..watching the games help ease alot of people minds from all the craziness in the world right now..

just saw kenny smith walk off the tnt set in support of the players & black people across the nation….

the nba stands to lose their billion dollar deal for the post season..and terminate their contract with espn & turner sports and likely end the current collective bargaining agreement if the season is cancelled..

white supremacy is built into the fabic of america.. its been a part of this country since it was founded..
i’ve seen videos of cops talking to armed white militia members telling them the cops would lead the protesters to them so they could handle them and the cops will then leave……..some of my white friends said they were pissed after watching cops hand out water to white militia members ,deputize white men, allowing them to carry guns..and the cops not fear for their lives…not knowing exactly what the gun carrying mob has in their minds..while at the same time saying they fearing for their lives as the reason why killed unarmed black men for minor offenses…..

the police chief of kenosha added more fumes to the fire today with his comments,which seemed racist to me..he said if the protesters hadnt been out past curfew the killings wont have happened…..
wojo reported the bucks players talked to the govenor and attorney general..what was discussed hadnt been revealed yet……

do you have links to those videos? thanks bro!

its easily can be found on youtube..i have no reason to lie…..google kenosha protests or search for the 17 teen year old kid that killed 2 and injured 1 of those protesters, his name is kyle rittenhouse …rittenhouse didnt even live in the city or wisconsin..he came from a town in illinois…..

dont think you are lying at all bro- just want to see it. I watched all the angles of kyle and couldnt find it after 11 minutes.. just saw them giving them water.

in a players meeting tonight…..surprisingly the lakers and clippers voted to end the season..the other nba teams in the bubble voted to continue…i dont see what ending the season will accomplish…..the nba put so much effort into creating the site to continue games……so will the league continue withou them t? allow blazers and mavs to face each other in western semi finals?

The Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers have voted to boycott the rest of the playoffs. Every team besides Lakers and Clippers voted to continue playing.
Miami’s Udonis Haslem spoke and essentially told everyone in room that — without Lakers and Clippers, how will season continue? LeBron James walked out. Rest of Lakers and Clippers exited behind him.

Ending the season puts pressure on 30 of the richest, most well-connected people in America — the NBA owners — to demand change from the governors, attorney generals, mayors, senators, etc. who in many cases are their personal friends.

Will it work? Most of these owners bought NBA teams for the same reasons they bought giant-ass yachts. They enjoy owning them, and they’d be pissed if their property became essentially worthless. But I’m pretty sure they would all still be rich.

At any rate I respect the hell out of all the players right now.
