    The foreshadowing, though.

    "How did this Blazers team beat the Lakers in game 1? That seems like ages ago."

    Augustin and Ross are playing well, 18 points and 17 points off the bench.

    the players are just walking over poor Adam, demanding and getting anything they want while still being guarenteed millions of dollars.

    their was no player selection during allstar Weekend for teammates with David stern. The players thus far with Adam have complained about too many back to backs( fixed by Adam). Asking for an extra week of rest during all star break lol. Oh and how can we forget “load management” smh

    well some would have you believe that Adam silver is the best commishner in all of sports. He basically let the clippers owner get 2 billion and they claim he was somehow punished lol

    He’s easily the worst commish of any sport i’ve watched, nobody is close. Always hated him, never had an ounce of credibility or honesty

    We all understand why they're protesting, especially with this being Wisconsin related.

    But they are contractually obligated to play. I can't just not show up for work because I feel some type of way about something in the news and not expect to get reprimanded by my employer.

    Adam Silver better grow a pair and do something. His stance on China and if he shows weakness on this will definitely reflect his poor skills as a leader / commissioner

    Does this mean Magic get the automatic win?

    Will there be any playoffs?

    Watching live basketball is a nice thing to have during this horrible pandemic.

    I hope the Bucks told the rest of the teams that are playing today. I hope everyone doesn't play. If not, this is going to be an even bigger thing. CP3 and Russ should come and say they aren't playing too.

    Woow they're not actually gonna play?? How sad, now everyone will think it's okay to disobey police orders and reach for weapons to shoot them.

    The Bucks should get the loss. If the game is simply made up then the protest accomplished zero. Take politics out of sports. These players don’t care deep down.

    This is poor leadership on the Bucks part.

    Politics being brought in to sports is how you kill the game.

    NBA will lose my support if they do not punish teams for doing this.
