Never would I thought Lakers and Clippers leading the charge to not play while rest of the teams still iffy

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

What explanation is needed from the bucks side lol

I get it if players want an explanation about how cancelling would affect their salaries but bucks made an executive decision nothing else to say

looking more and more likely its an optics angle of a power play to sweat the owners

Like I said, all these "journalists" are fighting to be first and are just saying the first thing they hear without getting clarification.

The Board of Governors e-mail chain has to be going crazy right. People are going to be up all night on the phones.

Need Duke330 to fill us in on the email chain

Edit: I know now isn't the time to get jokes off but it was low hanging fruit.

feel like there's some optics involved in 'leaking' that only the clippers and lakers wanted to stop playing. like, it hits harder if its the two premier franchises leading the way, and then the other teams will follow suit soon.

From what I've read the Magic were a bit upset that they weren't given the heads up on the Bucks boycotting the game. It does make them look a bit bad that they were out there getting ready to play.

Milwaukee definitely sparked this whole thing earlier and having the 2 highest profile squads remaining announcing they're seeming done is gonna light an even bigger fire under the power brokers asses and force them to act a lot faster IMO

I think JRepp23 took that role either way.

That’s a part of the shock of the statement. Imo it made it more powerful

Magic don’t gotta be asking all these questions just go with it or stay. Bucks did what they did

Yeah I'm not sure why the Magic were considering playing in the first place.
