NBA has postponed Lakers/Clippers game Tuesday due to Kobe Bryant death

I made it very clear, no games postponed so half your reply is invalid. I don't think I would have an issue if Kobe were a current player. But you had guys like IT play with his sister dying and other examples like that.

It bothers me because 16 other teams were forced to play HOURS after the tragedy but Lakers get a choice over 24 hours later?!? Makes no sense in a league that is supposed to be honest competition. Again this isn't a current player or coach who's tragic untimely death could impact competition. This is an ex-player who in no way shape or form can impact the current coaching staff or players of the team.

 

i understand and agree to a certain degree breh. but to me the league is like a private entertainment company and they really can do whatever they want, especially in the interest of their golden child.

i don't mind that they postponed this game, tho they also should have done it yesterday if this is the case. but like others have said, rescheduling 1 game is easier than 8(?) others. ultimately i'm ok because i know the nba isn't a fairplay league.

personally, i would have made the lakers/clips play because this would be such a good opportunity to honor kobe and from a ratings standpoint, it would be off the charts. having the 2 teams play later dampens the impact significantly
