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.

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.

The Ustashe used these nice babies on their victims, they called them "Serb Killers"

I gave up on basketball when it became thug ball.

I was a die hard fan for 20 years, and then spitting on fans, choking coaches, the writing was on the wall. The NBA can go to hell. Bunch of scumbags.

The three-point shot ruined basketball.

Anyone can practice and get good at making three-pointers unguarded.

But trying to thread a pass for an easy layup, takes a lot more skill.

I think Disney corporate and a lot of sponsors may have read the NBPA and one LeBron James the riot act late last night.

When their done ironing out their details I will be busy organizing my sock drawer during their so called games.

Can’t think of a better use of my time.

“Most of the league is just trying to hang on to a spot on the team”.

Tough shit; they all kneeled, they all wore stupid social justice expressions on their jerseys, they all disrespected the country that gave them millions of dollars for PLAYING a stupid kids game.

PLAYING is what normal people do when the WORK is finished.

They can all go straight to hell in a handbasket, my sense of right and wrong says they should all die broke and bleeding in their original GHETTO GUTTERS.

What difference does it make if the NBA mega millionaires players boycott their league. They have lots of Benjamin’s so they do not need the money, IMO they should continue the boycotts. Of course contracts would have to be negotiated down, down, down but they should stick with their alleged principals.
Players and owners do not need the money and they can continue to spew anti American hate. Another option would be the NBA could become the China Basketball League, owned by the Chinese Communist Party. The Nike shoes will continue to be made with slave labor, along with other merchandise. Adam Silver could even get a job with the CCP. Good outcomes for everyone.

That's too bad. I was hoping people who actually still watch that garbage would be fed up and grow a third IQ point.

Heck, even some freepers still talk about their loyalty to pro sports teams.

What if the NBA decided to have the playoffs and nobody (except the CCP) bothered watching it...
