NBA already proved they can take care of them. To continue the game will be a great gift to everyone.
We will be able to see them back in action again. NBA players have decided to resume the playoffs, a source tells ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Source: www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29752941/nba-players-decide-resume-playoffs%3fplatform=ampMaybe by Friday as per source says. I'm glad they came into this decision as they still have loads of way to address the issue, and wearing those "Black Lives Matter" shirt is one thing of those many ways. But cancelling the whole game is kind of different, and wouldn't be a best course of action to do so.

I do not get people who say this will not fix anything and they should continue, well playing the games will not solve it neither, at least this way they are putting forward a message and that is a lot more important than your precious moments when you watch a game and relax. You are at home sipping a beer and having fun while black people out there getting killed. You think NBA stars are out of this discussion?
There has been NBA players who got tazed, hell Thabo got his LEG BROKEN, black people in america suffered long enough, white people do the same thing and get away with it but when a black person does it and gets shot it is always "he should have followed cops instructions" well I am sorry but whites carried their guns into a government building and chanted slurs at a governor and nobody even stopped them because "MUH RIGHTS" whereas a dude was asked to surrender but instead went into his own vehicle and was shot 7!SEVEN! times for some reason, not even once, right in front of his three kids because ... he didn't comply?
If every person who didn't comply with cops were to get shot, there would be a whoooole lot of people dead. So, stop caring about your entertainment and understand why players want to go on a strike.

Why you mad?! It doesn't mean we don't care. We support the strike they did now and we understand the reasons behind it. I support all the social messages they wear in game and even outside. Don't justify people just because they want entertainment. What do you want us to do? Cry in a dark corner feeling sorry for everything that is happening every day? That won't solve anything too. Entertainment is difficult to get now because of Covid and the sad treatment of black people. There should always be some light in the darkness to balance everything. We cannot just stay in the dark as always. Think about kids watching the game too. How much happiness and hope it will give them looking at NBA icons doing their thing.

They have handled well the protest of those teams that didn't went through their matches due to the incident. At least, NBA is with them and gave them the chance to get into their feeling but what's next is that they have also to respect the management as to how they have handled and respected them as their players. NBA is just starting to recover from the long pause due to the pandemic.

Now, it's the players who needed to listen and continue this season, it's really a matter of doing the right decision now and while standing with what you think is right from both sides.

The season was never in danger of not completing no matter what was said/happened yesterday. It wasn't in danger pre-bubble, right now and it won't be in a week. It's just way too much money involved in all of this. If season was to be canceled that means players would get 20-30% less money next season because of the tv/sponsorship deals. It also means a new collective bargaining agreement with drastically cut down salary caps which 90% of the players cannot afford to lose. So yeah, cya in a day or two...Magic +13.5 ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

We have the latest update, NBA boycott, live updates: Players agree to resume playoffs, per report; league eyeing Friday or SaturdayAfter holding a meeting Thursday morning, NBA players have reportedly agreed to resuming the 2020 playoffs, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. There's still a lot to be discussed. Thursday's game have been postponed, but the league plans to resume games either Friday or Saturday, according to NBA Executive Vice President Mike Bass:
The first statement that came into their mind was due to the rising emotion, but maybe later realize the consequences they'll face if they'll cancel the season, so we have some good news today. So yeah, cya in a day or two...Magic +13.5 ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Still no for me, sorry. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Great analysis, yeah, they can't afford to lose money like this, so you are right they will come back soon and we have some news already that are coming out that supports your analysis, so everything is good, nothing to worry and we will be back in betting, just a short break though.

Same. Being carried away with their emotions so they decided quickly. Fortunately, those votes came from Lakers and Clippers is I believed just a Poll and not an actual decision. I know the issue is serious and sensitive but they should think of another reform for a change that won't jeopardized the playoffs.

There is a recent news that many players have voted to push the pending games. And they will be back again by tomorrow or the next day. https://sports.yahoo.com/after-a-night-of-rest-players-vote-to-resume-nba-playoffs-164227334.htmlIt also means a new collective bargaining agreement with drastically cut down salary caps which 90% of the players cannot afford to lose.

It's good that the NBA would finally resume, and I think even if the same thing happen, there's no stopping the NBA now. The playoffs will resume and Lakers or Clippers could probably take the NBA championship this season. Instead of doing the negative one, they can be positive to resume the season and offer their success to the victims of social injustice as we call it. Lebron as the most popular NBA player now should show the love for the NBA, so fans will continue to love the NBA as well. Protesting is Okay but stopping the playoffs, hmmmmm... no, never okay.

I always love to see the NBA, so anything that would stop it, I am against to it even if players are protecting for a cause because I believe it's not right to sacrifice the NBA when there are other ways to do it. I'm happy now that they already made a decision to resume playing, and hopefully there will be no more interruption going forward.

Wow, thanks for the update. I will be watching again the live playoff series especially that matches are in game 4 already to which it is almost done in some team that has 3-0 score records. I can't wait also to see on what team will going to get the estern and western conference and then played in a championship game. This is really a good news especially to the NBA fans. Anyway, since the decision to resume the NBA game, does the bucks and orlando had started already? It was supposed to be these team match before the postpone?

Orlando vs Bucks will play tomorrow based on schedule, I don't see the word "postponed", so we can assume that finally the game 5 will be played and Orlando can rest if they lose against the Bucks in this game. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

There's should be no delayed now, players and managements should realized that the game should proceed as fans are waiting to have some good enjoyment while this pandemic still present. The incidents should continue be discussed outside NBA.

They have to because they are all tied up to their contract with them. Nothing wrong expressing their feelings and thoughts as the world is also with them and the victim but business is business and they know about it. They were given the consideration of postponing the games for a few days and the time is up and games will be back again. There's no need for us to be disappointed this time, games will be back as per news by tomorrow, hopefully.

This is why I understood why they didn't play. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29750724/inside-hectic-hours-historic-nba-boycott"Why does it always have to get to the point where we see the guns firing?" LeBron James asked Monday night. He'd just won a playoff game, but couldn't enjoy it.
"My emotions are all over the place," he said, as if an apology was necessary. We all know one of the reason they( huge chunk of players) agreed to play in the bubble is NBA as a good platform to express their support in this fight against racism and inequality. Of course, when something bad happens outside they will all feel like its not working. That, I disagree. It's working but not that fast. Some of those racists before may have changed the way they look at things now. People are reading their social messages, speeches and watching sportsmanship white or black. They are listening, we are listening.

They are listening, we are listening. They judge right away, that's the problem when you judge by your emotion right away without waiting for the result of the investigation, sometimes you will also get one sided information because that hatred is already in your heart. I though the guy was dead but good news he is still alive but this news came out which looks like the family are not happy with how Jacob's treated by the police in the hospital. Jacob Blake is handcuffed to his hospital bed, family says
"This is an insult to injury," Justin Blake, the uncle of the victim, said. "He is paralyzed and can't walk and they have him cuffed to the bed. Why?"

Honestly I don't think that racists change their view so quickly.. Problems there are too deep to be solved by players cancelling the professional leagues, issues simply won't be solved in a few months with players tweeting and talking about it in the social media. They didn't start overnight, and it won't be solved overnight. As i said, they might as well stop all sports for a few years until situation gets better, but I am glad to hear that rean prevail and season will continue, and if Clippers&Lakers don't want to finish, let them be.

I was a bit worried when Lebron and the Clippers does not support to continue the season, good thing I don't listen a lot to the hype of the media and now we hear some good news. So this is really it? can we see games tomorrow?
