NBA

3-1 up (best of 7)

Ah thought this was only best of 5 at this stage.

I guess given it's happened in their home state and it is still going mad there they felt it wasn't the time to be playing a game.

Could be. I just don't know that there's enough overlap of people who aren't supportive of their agenda (not using that in a bad way) and platform for this to...make a statement I guess

Don't know what this accomplishes tbh. The thing they're actually boycotting is the game, not the nitwit cops who can't stop shooting people.

I think they're trying to use their platform to get people like you and me to take notice and take a stand.

Mavs went badly Everton last night, getting your hopes up only to put in that abortion of a performance

I doubt the NBA attracts people who aren't already noticing. I've been on their side.

Man..that performance from Jamal Murray..

Rockets and OKC will boycott too.

Apparently so too will the Lakers and Blazers.

This is true to an extent. I'm monitoring Fox to see if they pick it up. I genuinely think a lot of people will completely miss this if they choose to ignore it. Crazy times we live in.

If they will pick it up? No doubt they've been itching to tell those ungrateful "sons of bitches" what to do.

you'll never start a revolution if you expect the expected

They've said nothing so far

They probably haven't finished giving POTUS a blowy, but when they check their phones watch out

More that comes out, more it looks like a strike is incoming rather than just solely than a boycott

Don't forget, a lot of players did not want to play in the bubble because it would take attention off what was happening with the George Floyd aftermath. The NBA giving them approved messages to wear on their shirts was sort of a "are we good now?" type compromise – a lot of players wanted the NBA to do a lot more than they did

If they play basketball tonight, it takes some of the attention off what the headlines should be talking about. Power to the players
