The Bucks are boycotting today's game apparently. Looks like it's more than just talk.

 

Also, I think that's what Powell and FVV were getting at, entire teams boycotting a game to get their message out there. Not that I agree with it. The other foot dropped last night, video showing Blake assaulted/was fighting with the police and tazed several times, he had a knife with the two kids in the car. Not to mention his violent gun related charges from the past. These guys need to comply to the law, period.

If the Magic come to play and the Bucks boycott, do they give the game to the Magic?

 

Likely, but they'll just boycott too, and be done with it.

This is really interesting. The Magic did come to play and walked off just before tip. I guess they would take a butthurt of bad PR if they tried to squeeze a Win out of it. Has to be tempting down 3-1 and all

So season is probably done...

[Spanky99]

Chris Paul NBPA Leader, met with Westbrook in a meeting, players are now leaving the building, no game for them either. Boom! lol

[Spanky99]

Nah, just getting their message out. Vote, Police brutality, etc... to civilians and politicians alike.

[Ex Player]

I imagine all the other playoff teams will now follow suit

All NBA games cancelled tonight. Take your time boys - Lowry needs time to let his ankle heel up.

Not much point in boycotting one game only...

[TheHurl]

All games cancelled today. Tomorrow likely as well. Meeting in the bubble at 8. Lets try and keep this as sports related as possible

The number of addicted gamblers (a high proportion of white incels) this will piss off: More than zero.

Yeah I think there's a strong chance the NBA season is over. There's a lot of money on the line, not only for this season but also future seasons, but I don't see how they can boycott one game and then go back to normal after that. They have tripled down on their social activism after yesterday. I don't think they can turn back now.

[Carlos Danger]

Players have decided to play.

 

That didn't last long...

[glory]

All that just for each team to boycott one game?

They’ve already lost way too much time with Covid. Can’t really drag it out a week or two looking to get concessions from owners. Seems it was play or call it a season

Maybe they finally took the time to read the facts about this incident.

Since when do facts matter, in reality only money does.

[Dr. Dinger]

What channel is the game on?

[Abomination]

What channel is the game on?

 

Most of the TSN channels.

[Dr. Dinger]

Ahh okay, guess my cable provider has an outdated guide because of the postponements.

[saskjayfan]

Let's go Raptors!

[Abomination]

Refs are in fine form.

[BlueRocky]

How good are the Celtics this year? Haven’t paid any attention.

[Abomination]

Well, we've got some work to do.

[saskjayfan]

Well, we've got some work to do.

 

I thought I'd miss the start of the Jays game today.....I'm not so sure anymore..

[BlueRocky]

They always bounce back in game 2.

[Orgfiller]

The only silver lining to this awful game is the Raptors could not possibly be shooting any worse. Boston's defense is good but a lot of the misses have been from good looks, so hopefully they'll rebound closer to season averages going forward.

[dineke]

Boston is great at transition defense. Raps' halfcourt offensse was always mediocre at best, series not looking good right now.
