    No kneeling! Even though the NBA has rules against it, I really thought there would be something. They honored our veterans and with the Hayward injury and how the teams handled that, they gained a lot more respect.

    How exactly does kneeling disrespect vets?

    How much does each team receive from the Dept of Defense for their paid patriotism?

    Hey Mike,

    are you going to walk out of the arena or switch off your TV if the Rox will take a kneel in their home opener this weekend?

    Especially when it was a Green Beret that convinced Kaepernick to kneel instead of sit, because that was a sign of respect in the military.

    I am respecting the NBA a little more these days.

    Even though parity is still a huge issue, there are a couple teams that could give GS a run for its money.
    Changes to the game are being made to make it more enjoyable; Fouling in the last two minutes, offense plays getting called for the ridiculous intentional contact, All Star game changes, draft changes and possible restructure the amount of games and play offs.

    Oh and they are not dragging politics into the sport. Kudos to the NBA.

    I must have missed it. Was there a tribute to Veteran’s on Opening Night?
