76ers front office need to come under the spotlight for those massive contracts too.

[Bovidae]

OKC win again.

[raznomore]

Shroeder and Lou will be fighting it out for that 6th man. Dennis came up large again today.

[raznomore]

@Bovidae yes. yes they did.

[ACT Crusader]

Great to see OKC fight it out.

Would be nice if the Blazers had one or two more defenders.

LAL deliver Portland a comprehensive beatdown. They jumped out fast and never let the Blazers into it. To make matters worse, Dame left the game with a knee problem. He is being worn down by the play in process and now having to face LA. LA should close this out in 5 now

Probably one for the BLM thread, but apparently several NBA teams are talking about sitting out the playoffs due to the latest police shootings. Fred Van Fleet was advocating for it.

Lots of twitter noise going LBJs way about Police being shot at earlier in the day in the same city...

Three Game 5s PPD after Bucks won't take floor

The NBA postponed all three playoff games set to take place on Wednesday after the Bucks decided to not take the court to protest the recent police shooting in Wisconsin.

Considering the overwhelming majority of the players in the league are black, they take the issue very seriously. And it happened in Wisconsin so the Bucks' home state. I guess by defaulting the game goes to the Magic? Lakers are due up later, will be interesting to see if they follow suit

[TeWaio]

The league has now cancelled all 3 games scheduled for today

No team takes a loss, I guess they aim for a reschedule but who knows?

NEW YORK– The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association today announced that in light of the Milwaukee Bucks’ decision to not take the floor today for Game 5 against the Orlando Magic, today’s three games – Bucks vs. Magic, Houston Rockets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers - have been postponed. Game 5 of each series will be rescheduled.

There goes my afternoon lockdown viewing plans....

I was just reading an article on ESPN about PG. His on-court struggles have been related to off-court issues dealing with the NBA bubble.

The Jet walked off TNT as well. He was visibly cut up and I think angry.

I know he could have just decided to not come in at all but it was poignant and powerful to do it on air, IMO.

[canefan]

Others can trivialise BLM but these players clearly feel there is still a big problem in the US. Inside all of the confusion and the bandwagon jumpers there is a real message in there

[raznomore]

@canefan I think you just need to separate the movement from the sentiment
