Well, that's one way of ensuring that the Mavs don't beat them in 7, I suppose.

you would think Lakers and Clippers would be the two teams leading the way towards continuing the season not ending it...didn't expect that.

Lebron paying Shams to report this?

Hopefully Damian Lillard has some super healing powers.

I'll get heavy for a minute, but just sit back and think about what is going on right now. This is a moment in time that history will talk about for decades.

It would be so wrong if they just let the Blazers and Mavs advance but idk how else they'd do it...

Why can't the season continue without the L.A teams?

Lots of intrigue left in these playoffs - Lots of star power still available.

Never realized the Lakers and Clippers were that scared of us in the Finals

I mean, I don't think it makes sense for them to do. Cancel the season, and you'll get a few days of heavy coverage, and then people will move on.

Keep the season going, and you can get attention whenever you need (as today has shown).

That said, if the players do decide that this is one of the ways they want to protest, I support them.

Shout out to LeBron James. One of his last attempts to prove he's the greatest.

And in a bizzare way, he kind of has.

IMHO If you’re going to boycott the season, you gotta have consensus all around, otherwise you end up looking bad.

Im all for this protest but they should continue what they started and keep their voices on this platform

this is a genius move... the owners will budge because lebron makes them all their money. lebron said he wanted real action by the owners.

well, there is no season without the lakers. and lebron is the only one with that individual clout to get this done. and if the owners won't listen to lebron, who the hell will they listen to???

it kinda says to ownership, what sort of relationship do we really have? are we just assets or people?

Exactly what I thought. Although at the same time, it must be hard to get a consensus with so many different voices in the room.

They needed to take a vote and go with the majority. This looks dumb otherwise. The ones playing will be undermining the ones who aren't.
