NBA players have decided to resume the playoffs, a source tells ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Thursday's three playoff games will be postponed. A resumption of the season could come as soon as Friday, but there is expected to be a return to the play by the weekend according to sources.

Players held a meeting at 11 a.m. ET. There will be another meeting Thursday with two players from each team, sources tell ESPN's Tim MacMahon.

Thursday's second meeting is to formulate action plans to address racial injustice issues as well as ironing out details of restarting the playoffs, according to a source.

I’m not understanding the sales pitch: “We, the victimized multimillion dollar stars that we are, hate you racist white people and diss the flag, but we expect you to watch us play basketball and buy our shirts?”

Jason Whitlock (love the guy) at Outkick called out LBJ. I agree with Jason. James is a Bigot.

>>And not a single f... will be given.<<

That covers it.

4 months without sports has actually made America a better place. Sports with a Woke Attitude makes it much, much worse.

Adam Silver can just call the players from now on when a decision is needed. He and the board don’t run the league anymore.

They realized that normal people don’t care what they do.

*************

They’re arrogant ingrates who couldn’t hold down a day job if their life depended on it. Most of them will be broke not long after leaving the game.

I guess someone told them they need to play to get paid. I wish someone would tell teachers they need to teach in classrooms or not get paid.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the BLM messages disappear from the jerseys they’re wearing.

Money means more than messages. All day long.

Watching the NBA destroy itself is precious.

I’m hoping they can have the homeless people from Skid Row go to the games, and have them shit and piss on the court during the games. Give the drug thugs free tickets, and let them shoot players that they don’t like. Shoot the ref if you disagree with a call.

Walk the walk.

That’s how you get me back as a fan.

Not just any old knife. It was not a steak knife or a kitchen knife, it was a murder knife shaped like a velociraptor claw. A knife designed to slash throats or disembowel.
