I support their boycott. But its kind of hollow if u just resume with the next game. Boycott them all, bow out. Makes me think if they down 3-1, is this happening?

It's a good question but I think you're gonna see a united front on this. I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of this.

Houston and Oklahoma City officially boycotting as well.

Damn, I wanted to see that game but I guess they all have to bow out today.

I agree with everything else. This is a good thing, not a bad thing. Just curious how they are getting around the fact that one team wanted to play and one didnt.

They don't have to get around anything. If the nba gave the bucks a loss the media and others would be enraged. It's an easy business decision for them.

I understand the spirit of what you are saying. I am not even necessarily arguing against you or advocating anything. Just curious from a basic rules standpoint how if one team is there wanting to play and the other team refuses, how they can simply just push the game back and say its ok.

I agree with and am proud of the Bucks for starting this. My question has nothing to do with that.

Everyone should just go home then and resume the next season around halloween or christmas, which ever they prefer

Wonder what would happen if every team was like, "f**k it! We're all going home." That would be huge.

Lebron won't let that happen. He's getting his chip. He's still elite, obviously, but he's old. Not that many changes left and he cares about his legacy (rightfully so)

I don't know man, he's different than MJ. He's not afraid to speak his mind and act on it instead of being quiet and just playing ball. Leading the NBA players to a boycott of the playoffs would have a far bigger and more positive impact on his legacy than another ring.

I agree, but he's also cognizant of what's happening. He'll do something.

My question was answered.

I will give him props if he proves me wrong. He'll boycott the game today, but I don't think he'll walk away from the season as it's almost a guaranteed ring. He cares about his money more than social issues.

We'll see. It's Lebron though, he'll never have to worry about getting money from somewhere. I don't think one game is really gonna have an impact either but if they all agreed to just stop, then that would be huge.

A ring for his legacy is really important. Not saying he doesn't care about social issues, but I think he prioritizes money/legacy over it. He was a driving force behind coming back and playing, and the bubble started while the Floyd tragedy was fresh in everyone's mind.

This is great!! Good on the players!

Easily (and I'm going to go on something of a tangent, so my apologies ahead of time).

To TPTB this boycott is cute, but it won't move the needle anywhere. TPTB don't give a s**t about the little people or our troubles, plain and simple.

This boycott, while coming from a good place from good hearted people, is a joke to TPTB.

Change needs to happen, but TPTB are not about change or anything that affects their world. You're living in fantasyland if you think it matters to them.

They're too busy working on their exit strategy to care about the s**t that is coming, and will come down on the little people (all of us).

Our militarized police are essentially the muscle and do the bidding of TPTB. We'd have to go French Revolution on their asses to change anything.

NBA has stepped in.

Time for clippers to bench starters so I can cover Mavs +23.5

23.5 lol... what was the payout on that? $1 for every 5 grand?

I was live betting , so at the time it payed out almost double .

Ah, nice

Except I didn't cover

Yeah , the DK sports book app is SIK !!

So many bets and their odds are changing by the second depending on what is going on in the game . If you are
Clearly winning a bet , the app offers you a cash out option where you can take a percentage of what you would win if you decide to cash out before bet/game is over
