There are two more games tonight at 6:30 and 9:00 PM ET. Have to believe some important conversations are happening with the Rockets, Thunder, Lakers and Trail Blazers.

Really looking forward to DJT’s thoughtful tweet on this response.

It’s hard for me to envision LeBron James saying “Yeah, let’s get out there tonight and hoop.”

I agree, although his earlier cowardice with regards to China caught me by surprise. This one is a lot closer to home, though, so I don’t imagine he’ll be pushing real hard to keep playing.

Expect more racism at the TNC tonight.

Some things are bigger than basketball. The stand taken today by the players and org shows that we’re fed up. Enough is enough. Change needs to happen. I’m incredibly proud of our guys and we stand 100% behind our players ready to assist and bring about real change

This unfolding NBA players boycott of playoff games to protest for justice is NOT just a sports story. It’s a huge cultural inflection point.

Question is no longer if players are prepared to boycott one game — that’s happened. It’s how many they will. There have been discussions amongst several teams, notably Toronto, about going home.

Team owner should be doing that, too. Every single one of those owners has a lot of political capital.
