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 also means a new collective bargaining agreement with drastically cut down salary caps which 90% of the players cannot afford to lose.

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.

The season was never in danger of not completing no matter what was said/happened yesterday. It wasn't in danger pre-bubble, right now and it won't be in a week. It's just way too much money involved in all of this. If season was to be canceled that means players would get 20-30% less money next season because of the tv/sponsorship deals. It also means a new collective bargaining agreement with drastically cut down salary caps which 90% of the players cannot afford to lose.

NBA boycott, live updates: Players agree to resume playoffs, per report; league eyeing Friday or Saturday

Quote

After holding a meeting Thursday morning, NBA players have reportedly agreed to resuming the 2020 playoffs, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. There's still a lot to be discussed. Thursday's game have been postponed, but the league plans to resume games either Friday or Saturday, according to NBA Executive Vice President Mike Bass:

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.

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.

I do not get people who say this will not fix anything and they should continue, well playing the games will not solve it neither, at least this way they are putting forward a message and that is a lot more important than your precious moments when you watch a game and relax. You are at home sipping a beer and having fun while black people out there getting killed. You think NBA stars are out of this discussion?

There has been NBA players who got tazed, hell Thabo got his LEG BROKEN, black people in america suffered long enough, white people do the same thing and get away with it but when a black person does it and gets shot it is always "he should have followed cops instructions" well I am sorry but whites carried their guns into a government building and chanted slurs at a governor and nobody even stopped them because "MUH RIGHTS" whereas a dude was asked to surrender but instead went into his own vehicle and was shot 7!SEVEN! times for some reason, not even once, right in front of his three kids because ... he didn't comply?

If every person who didn't comply with cops were to get shot, there would be a whoooole lot of people dead. So, stop caring about your entertainment and understand why players want to go on a strike.

Why you mad?!
It doesn't mean we don't care.
We support the strike they did now and we understand the reasons behind it.
I support all the social messages they wear in game and even outside.

Don't justify people just because they want entertainment. What do you want us to do? Cry in a dark corner feeling sorry for everything that is happening every day?
That won't solve anything too.
Entertainment is difficult to get now because of Covid and the sad treatment of black people. There should always be some light in the darkness to balance everything. We cannot just stay in the dark as always.

Think about kids watching the game too. How much happiness and hope it will give them looking at NBA icons doing their thing.

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.

Agree. They should still do what they can to entertain people.
This issue of racism is already a bad event. The very least they could do is offer their skills to make people happy while there are bad things happening out there.
Pandemic and divided country.
Where else could they get a positive approach if they will stop this? Somehow NBA is still giving hope. Players in the NBA are black and white and they can show peace even with what color they have.

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

This is just bullshit, pure and simple. Why punish NBA, fans and all other people which livelihood depends on the season going on because of something that is out of their hands. So much effort was put to continue the season, and everything went really well, and now this..

They really think that canceling a season will magically solve all of those issue? They might as well stop all professional sports for 10 years, if they wanna put focus on those issues.

As a side note I wonder how this will affect viewership of professional sports. Aside from social issues people have been getting fed up with some of the prima dona stuff these athletes now exist with. Miss the old days of nba when each team hated each other team. The 80s and 90s nba between the bulls/knicks/celts/detroit/pacers..those teams hated each other. Made the sport more fun the watch at least for me.

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.

Bad news for Trail Blazers fans there, as this guy absence is a huge cut on their offense. So it looks like, if the game continues right away, we won't be able to see Portland star player on the court.

I don't know if this was just an agenda by the NBA itself or it is from the players alone but I think they don't have to be that affected at all when they don't know what would happen if that man get some weapon from that car. If they can play for Kobe and not leave the game why not play for Jacob Blake as well?

Every live matters but for God's sake they can't stop it if they'll just boycotting a game. They dedicate sometimes before from George Floyd wearing T-shirts but does it have an impact? No, the incident still happens again.

Agree with you, if they will make this every time there's an incident like this involving the black, I guess it's a threat to the NBA organization.

I know most of the NBA players are black the owners are just supporting, but this kind of protest IMO is not effective, this hasn't affect the fans in certain countries but all over the world, we love NBA and yet suddenly it will be stop.

Hopefully these guys will calm down and realize that the world is not fair, any race can be discriminated but we can do it the right way, not stopping a league that everyone wants to be happy, I doubt they'll get support from doing that.

Not really good for us fans, NBA has fans worldwide, not in the US only, so they also have to consider what we feel when they will dictate to cancel the season. Man, what would happen to my future bet that might likely to win, it will be cancelled, right?

Seriously, they should find another way to protest, not by stopping the season that organization have successfully resume.

James as the King of the NBA, he should show some good example, be pro NBA as NBA is what make you a star.

Just seen this... after the release of #NBAPlayoffs 3FG Made lists look how Lebron James and Klay Thompson exchanged humurous thoughts on Instagram.
Though I am also looking forward for Klay to pass Lebron in the 2021 playoffs. This will be fun to watch friendly rivalry. Cool

I've got mixed emotions regarding LeBron's decisions and actions but I'm pretty sure those were not the right ones to do. They can do something better than that. This may send some message to other people but this will also provide some negative signals to the other folks around the globe. Honestly, if they'll cancel the remaining season because of this, all of the efforts by the players, management, organizers and everyone who's involved will just go to waste.

They can't do that, they have to act professional, why would they make such decision without considering the effort of the organizers just to make it possible to resume the NBA season? now, they are making it hard for the NBA management? It looks like they are making their own judgement now, they forget that they are paid to play, I understand how they feel, but they have to trust the law of the land to take care of it, be professional and do the job, that's what I'll tell to them.

NBA is for everyone, fans deserve to be treated fairly too, otherwise we would also do the same protest not watching the NBA.

They can't just do things base on their limited knowledge and using their fame for the wrong reasons. I mean, everything is doing fine right now. They are winning their games well, although the fans are not around the games are intense no different than watching the normal playoff games. so what on the Earth is the reason for stoping this season? we are few games away from the finals. If they don't want to play, then be it. the NBA can step forward with them or without them.

I think the same reason they made a protest prior to the resumption of the season, it was George Floyd, that's why we are seeing the logo black lives matter, and now it happen again, so they got really affected and they can't do the protest outside as they are in the bubble, so probably their way of protesting is stop the season. Don't know, let's just follow this controversy carefully.
