    looked like an accident, but morris's primary skill is thuggery, so, who knows.

    he shouldn't step on his father's foot that way, though.

    Adrian Wojnarowski

    Top NBA executives are outside of the Milwaukee locker room, but haven’t gone inside, per source.

    NBA is slowly killing itself. You can not protest injustice and support a communist country that still has concentration camps. You look like hypocrites when you do that and your respect becomes frivolous. Americans are tired of being blamed for atrocities of the few from the past and present. You aren't going to change anything if you say it's ok anywhere but in America.

    They’ll be no games today. If Milwaukee and other teams feels this is best at this time, I support them 100%.

    so NBA players should not be allowed to protest injustices taking place in their own backyards because of what's happening in another country?

    I think Sean Doolittle said it best back in July: sports are the rewards of a functioning society. A country where an unarmed black man gets shot in the back for opening his car door but a gun-toting white murder can walk right past the police is intolerable. And if the players want to make the point that if this is the world they have to wake up to, then we shouldn't get the privilege of sports, they're not wrong. I do think the season will continue, but not until the players feel like those of us watching at home appreciate the magnitude of this injustice.

    I like how the NBA said the games have been "rescheduled", as if what ills American society can be fixed in a couple of days. For the record, I also support what the players are doing.

    They have every right to do that, and I support them. But I'd like to know if this is temporary or is the season going to be cancelled now? Because I don't think much will be done/fixed instantly because they are protesting like this. I am just curious and I'll support any decision they make.

    My guess is that the season will resume, when the players feel that they are effectively using their platform to keep the public focused on this issue. They can't come out and set the standard that there will be no basketball in America until the injustice of systemic racial inequality in policing is resolved, since that would likely mean the end of basketball for at least a generation and likely beyond.

    yea, i think we are all sitting here wondering the same thing... obviously the boycott won't solve anything, but... maybe it will give doncic and porzingis time to heal up and knock off the clips...
