    Bucks are up 3-1 in the series. I’m confident that the NBA allowed the players to have a platform to voice their concerns over social injustice as a condition of the restart. If Adam Silver punished the Bucks, the league would have serious labor issues.

    I agree. But don’t show for a tennis match, soccer game, golf playoffs without some type of conciliatory reaction from (a governing body) THE NBA, you have set a precedent there IS an exception to the rule of not showing.
    No mistake, this is a reason if ever one existed for the bucks, but you have to act on it as there will be other times down the road the league will have to examine. Proactive is better than reactive.

    Valid points @bubbakitty - IMHO it’s time for Silver & Chris Paul to have a joint press conference to discuss the league & players’ union stance & what next steps might be

    Edit: like a player vote on whether to continue

    If they decided to cancel the playoffs because some things are more important than basketball, I would agree and completely respect that decision. This coming from a die hard Laker fan.

    Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the players are worn out from the bubble environment & this might be the final nail in the coffin for the NBA season. Bucks Players had a conference call with Wisconsin Governor Attorney General & Lieutenant Governor.

    Supposed to be a players meeting soon.

    nba players all have "guaranteed" contracts.. new wrinkle is if owners try to enforce a by law to not pay them if they all walk out.
