Lots of talk about canceling the season now. LeBron storming out of a meeting while the Lakers & Clippers both agree to cancel the season is bad news. I understand not wanting to continue providing an unappreciative community with your craft, but as a fan I’m extremely disappointed. They feel ownership isn’t doing enough to address problems in the community though and perhaps think that withholding their contribution to society is their only recourse.

Before, I thought that it's just for this day's game but it's crazy to think that the petition wants it for the whole season, that's just nuts.

From the updates that I've read, there will be a voting system and so far the majority wants to play. It is unofficial but I'm looking closely to the news.

Yeah! Apparently, it was these two LA team (Lakers and Clippers) who was against the idea of finishing the playoffs. Read more here. Dunno what differences they would make from cancelling the whole game into this issue except from voicing out again Undecided

. And it seems it will last even longer because almost all of them are in favor of this boycott stuff.

There is the difference that they can make from doing that and as you can see it has moved a lot of games and feelings of the NBA fans and even the management.

It's official, games are postponed today, we will see if games would really resume on Saturday.

By the way, we have some good news for the Rockets fans, Russ is coming back in game 5, they need him to win this important game.

Russell Westbrook expected to return to Rockets lineup for Game 5

All games in the NBA are postponed due to the players boycotting from all the distress caused in Wisconsin.
When I first heard about this I thought it was just the Bucks players doing this since Milwaukee is in this state of the US.
But it now seems all games today are being suspended until further notice.

Did a quick search about it and came up with this so it might affect the Raptors playoffs too since it is reported from the toronto star? Embarrassed

https://www.thestar.com/news/world/us/2020/08/26/bucks-players-dont-take-the-court-for-nba-playoff-game.html

What an unfortunate news, I read the article you shared and find out this again part of their crusade about "Black Lives Matter".
Respect to the players and the NBA for protesting social injustice, now, I think we have to patiently wait until the NBA resume, hope it won't last for days.

They say they will continue the games either today or tomorrow being Saturday.
I was watching a sports channel update on it and one of the announcers mentioned the NBA are losing a billion a day in revenue by them not playing in the playoffs.
So the players will bargain and pay the league 2 billion for missing just two days? Undecided

I don't think so, they they want to get paid too. Because it all comes down to satisfying the advertisers and the playoff vibe they have every year that pays them to be in the position they are in now.
If they don't play then the league might as well fold because they are losing money everyday they don't play.

It looks like all games would resume where they left off from today on forward. Which means games that was postponed first day will be today and games that should have played yesterday will be tomorrow and from then out it would be all like that, just continue without disruption.

I would say it wasn't really that much of a big deal considering they just didn't play for 2 days. I can't say that an NBA strike was a good idea or not, I thought it was a great idea, but I can say that doing it for only 2 days wasn't really a huge deal, if they cancelled the whole season and you suddenly see all the players at bubble suddenly turn up in protests all over the country, leading people in these protests, I would say that it would have made a lot more contribution. Let's see, maybe they will have something special planned when they come back, something extra, that would actually make a lot of sense.

What team will play tomorrow? I'm excited to see the game of Lakers vs Blazers but there is still no final date when the game will return. I'm gonna beat in lakers and the standing will 4-1 for sure. But I'm a bit concerned on Liliards health because he need to leave the bubble to have better examination on his right knee sprain. They did great in the series but their power is not enough. I also respect the decision of Lebron and some NBA players towards what happen on shooting incidents. They have the right to not play in a game because it is a sign of protest and respect.

It will be the same games that were postponed.
Yeah, Lakers vs Blazers will be on that list.
Including Orlando vs Bucks and Rockets vs Thunder.

Anyway, since the decision to resume the NBA game, does the bucks and orlando had started already? It was supposed to be these team match before the postpone?

Orlando vs Bucks will play tomorrow based on schedule, I don't see the word "postponed", so we can assume that finally the game 5 will be played and Orlando can rest if they lose against the Bucks in this game. Grin

Games will resume tomorrow after the 2 days of not playing the games as per report.

Well, I know how the players are feeling at that time especially those who are at risk right now. We know how huge NBA is and I hope that these shooting incidents of these black people will be stopped at one moment or at least now after the recent incident that happened.

I stand pro their movement of NBA players to delay the play offs until that problem is solved and to be honest I'm glad NHL followed and they delayed the games too. However, I do hope I will see some NBA in weekend as the last games were phenomenal to watch , especially Luka Doncic with that 3 points clutch.

Of course, when something bad happens outside they will all feel like its not working.
That, I disagree. It's working but not that fast. Some of those racists before may have changed the way they look at things now.

Honestly I don't think that racists change their view so quickly..

Problems there are too deep to be solved by players cancelling the professional leagues, issues simply won't be solved in a few months with players tweeting and talking about it in the social media. They didn't start overnight, and it won't be solved overnight. As i said, they might as well stop all sports for a few years until situation gets better, but I am glad to hear that rean prevail and season will continue, and if Clippers&Lakers don't want to finish, let them be.

I was a bit worried when Lebron and the Clippers does not support to continue the season, good thing I don't listen a lot to the hype of the media and now we hear some good news. So this is really it? can we see games tomorrow?

Gotta look for a better news outlet. Grin

A lot of fake news and hypes out there.
They will create anything for scoop, views or just attention. Social media is such a strong platform right now.

I still don't see any open bets for NBA. So I guess we just need to wait.
I saw google post schedules but there is still no accurate time. All are at 12:00 tomorrow.

"Why does it always have to get to the point where we see the guns firing?" LeBron James asked Monday night. He'd just won a playoff game, but couldn't enjoy it.

"My emotions are all over the place," he said, as if an apology was necessary.

We all know one of the reason they(huge chunk of players) agreed to play in the bubble is NBA as a good platform to express their support in this fight against racism and inequality.

People are reading their social messages, speeches and watching sportsmanship white or black.
They are listening, we are listening.

They judge right away, that's the problem when you judge by your emotion right away without waiting for the result of the investigation, sometimes you will also get one sided information because that hatred is already in your heart.

I though the guy was dead but good news he is still alive but this news came out which looks like the family are not happy with how Jacob's treated by the police in the hospital.

NBA players have decided to resume the playoffs, a source tells ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Source: www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29752941/nba-players-decide-resume-playoffs%3fplatform=amp

Maybe by Friday as per source says. I'm glad they came into this decision as they still have loads of way to address the issue, and wearing those "Black Lives Matter" shirt is one thing of those many ways. But cancelling the whole game is kind of different, and wouldn't be a best course of action to do so.

The postponement of most games within a couple days should be credited to NBA. They have handled well the protest of those teams that didn't went through their matches due to the incident. At least, NBA is with them and gave them the chance to get into their feeling but what's next is that they have also to respect the management as to how they have handled and respected them as their players. NBA is just starting to recover from the long pause due to the pandemic.

You are right. They give the players the right to speak up about their feelings allowing this situation being talked.

Now, it's the players who needed to listen and continue this season, it's really a matter of doing the right decision now and
while standing with what you think is right from both sides.

They have to because they are all tied up to their contract with them. Nothing wrong expressing their feelings and thoughts as the world is also with them and the victim but business is business and they know about it. They were given the consideration of postponing the games for a few days and the time is up and games will be back again. There's no need for us to be disappointed this time, games will be back as per news by tomorrow, hopefully.

Hopefully everything will be back to normal and this both teams will show up tomorrow and continue the series.
There's should be no delayed now, players and managements should realized that the game should proceed as fans are waiting to
have some good enjoyment while this pandemic still present. The incidents should continue be discussed outside NBA.

I always love to see the NBA, so anything that would stop it, I am against to it even if players are protecting for a cause because I believe it's not right to sacrifice the NBA when there are other ways to do it. I'm happy now that they already made a decision to resume playing, and hopefully there will be no more interruption going forward.

Wow, thanks for the update. I will be watching again the live playoff series especially that matches are in game 4 already to which it is almost done in some team that has 3-0 score records.

I can't wait also to see on what team will going to get the estern and western conference and then played in a championship game. This is really a good news especially to the NBA fans.

The first statement that came into their mind was due to the rising emotion, but maybe later realize the consequences they'll face if they'll cancel the season, so we have some good news today.

Same. Being carried away with their emotions so they decided quickly.

Fortunately, those votes came from Lakers and Clippers is I believed just a Poll and not an actual decision.

I know the issue is serious and sensitive but they should think of another reform for a change that won't jeopardized the playoffs.

It's good that the NBA would finally resume, and I think even if the same thing happen, there's no stopping the NBA now.
The playoffs will resume and Lakers or Clippers could probably take the NBA championship this season.

Instead of doing the negative one, they can be positive to resume the season and offer their success to the victims of social injustice as we call it.

Lebron as the most popular NBA player now should show the love for the NBA, so fans will continue to love the NBA as well.
Protesting is Okay but stopping the playoffs, hmmmmm... no, never okay.

Great analysis, yeah, they can't afford to lose money like this, so you are right they will come back soon and we have some news already that are coming out that supports your analysis, so everything is good, nothing to worry and we will be back in betting, just a short break though.

Yeah. If NBA management has to do it, they'll do it.
