    The players decided to cancel the season. It's not just Toronto. The whole league is fed up with racial inequaliity. There won't be no more NBA until Trump transfers power to Biden.

    Minnesota NBA owner has the right idea. Sell your teams NOW while they still have some value.

    Not really breaking news, there will be no NBA games Thursday. Could resume Friday though, with Raptors Game 1 probably Sunday.

    I'm pretty sure Raptors want out of the bubble and to play no more games.

    I'm sure it is tough on these guys in the bubble. It'd have to be. Rich men tied down in a relatively small area. I mean in a sincere world, a man would just be thankful for shelter, food and work, but this world is not sincere.

    Not true, most players want to play. Two-day statement should be enough.

    I've heard the Bucks, Raptors, Lakers, Clippers all want the season to end and leave the bubble.

    NBA is done for this year.

    Only teams that said they did not want to play any more were Lakers and Clippers, but all other teams want to play. Hopefully that is enough to sway Lakers/Clippers back to action,

    Jets and Colts in NFL are canceling practice today. There is spillover now into other sports.

    If they don’t play today, every team left will have gotten the chance to sit out. Kinda feel bad for the magic and portland who have both feet out the door. 100 percent sure they wanted to play yesterday

    Frankly, I don't care if they play again...EVER!

    That being said...racial inequalty? Are they talking about the lack of a chance for a white man in the NBA?

    Now, to be clear, I'm not here to say that there should be more white men in the NBA. I'm all for awards based on merits. But why doesn't that work both ways?

    I remember when I was at a friends in like 8th or 9th grade watching a bulls playoff game and his racist grandma showed up and said she wished they all went back to Africa and whites only played. I said why the games would suck lol. I understood this concept during puberty. Yeah, this is a one way street in regards to merit based awards.

    OK

    Thu 12:06 PM: The NBA players have decided to resume the playoffs, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Thursday's three playoff games will be postponed though. The players and league are aiming to restart games on Friday.

    This is excellent news.

    NBA players taking a few days off is exactly what we needed to rid this country of racism.

    Bravo!

    I say the nba should close down until all the “changes” they want happen. Which will be great. No nba for at least 10 years, or never

    I am starting to think it will be Saturday, NBA is dragging its feet releasing revised schedule but all 13 teams still in the bubble are practicing today.
