Milwaukee Bucks are boycotting tonight’s game against the Magic to protest the shooting of Jacob Blake.

I don't particularly begrudge their decision.

 

[Lady Redfield]

It's funny how only certain issues are enough to make them boycott.

Think about that for a moment.

I don't much care as I agree with the cause at hand and think it needs to be fixed. Would have different opinions if I didn't think it was a priority, but incremental change is the only way society can improve.

 

[Lady Redfield]

Boycotting games isn't going to change anything.

Picking and choosing when to care just makes people assholes.

God damn

 

[Barry Poppins]

Damn. 53 is too young.

76ers fire coach Brown after seven seasons

The Sixers' senior leadership -- including general manager Elton Brand -- are expected to explore changes in the front office in the wake of Brett Brown's firing, sources said.

The process is falling apart

I'm happy as hell to see him gone. I thought last Season he should of been kicked to the Curb when the team had Butler on the squad and still doesn't get it done when it mattered. It's one thing to get out coached from Coaches who have more experience than you, but to get beat up like they did vs the Celtics yeah that's a no no. Brand needs to go to as GM because the money he gave to Tobias and Horford is downright criminally stupid to do I feel. Now he's gone now they need to make the decision to run Simmons and Embiid one more year or so. The Sixers could of had guys like Tatum vs them taking Fultz so the Drafting, and FA decisions hasn't helped them either.

Steve Nash is the new head coach of the Nets

 

[Barry Poppins]

Neat.

Heat up 3-0 on The Bucks! The same Bucks people wanted to put towards the NBA Finals and in the second year in the row they fold up their Tents and with that they going home earlier than expected unless they have a miracle coming for them.

Jimmy Buckets is unstoppable bro, he told his family they had to stay home because this was a business trip and man went to work

That is the type of player I wanted to keep with my Sixers. Watching Rockets/Lakers Game 1 and Westbrook is pissing me off so hard. If he doesn't get the call he literally says fuck getting back on D let me complain some more.

 

[Chris]

I don't think I have faith in the Rockets closing out a single basketball game that I watch them play in tbh

 

[Hoss]

Rockets win would feel better if Lakers didn't just demolish the Blazers after losing game 1.

Who's ready for the Heat to bring out the shovels on the Bucks today
