Warriors Planned To Walk Off Court After Tip-Off In Game 5

I believe the Warriors might have because Jackson is leading that team. We already know he's a man of principle by saying what he's said about his beliefs about gays...while coaching a team in the SF Bay Area no less.

The Clippers though? Doc would have suited up in a Warriors uniform himself and played against his own team just to make sure Massa Silver had a playoff game to make ad revenue off of.

Kinda makes me wish Silver acted suspect just for this epic moment to go down.

Because Silver said he'd announce his decision Tuesday

A man of principle doesn't commit adultery and then participate in trying to pay off the hoe. Dude is the biggest hypocrite in the Bay next to @Blackthoughts

NBA players were prepared to boycott Tuesday night's playoff games if NBA commissioner Adam Silver did not ban Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and force him to sell his team, National Basketball Players Association first vice president Roger Mason Jr. said.

"I heard from our players and all of our players felt like boycotting the games tonight," Mason said. "We're talking about all NBA players. We're talking about the playoff games tonight."

Mason said he spoke to player representatives from every team and they were on board with the decision to boycott Tuesday's games if they weren't satisfied with the commissioner's decision. The decision would have affected Tuesday's Game 5s between the Clippers and Golden State Warriors, the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards, and the Memphis Grizzlies and Oklahoma City Thunder.


On Tuesday, Sterling was banned for life by the NBA in response to racist comments the league says he made in a recorded conversation. Silver also said he will try to force Sterling to sell the team. The owners have the authority, subject to three-quarters vote, to remove Sterling as an owner.

"I reached out to other players around the league and made it clear the players were ready to boycott the games if this type of action was not something that Adam Silver felt was necessary," Mason said. "We're happy with the decision but we're not content yet. We want immediate action. We want a timetable from the owners as far as when this vote is going to happen."

Mason said the players did not want to boycott games until they heard from the league but were prepared to take that drastic step if Sterling's punishment did not meet their demands.

"We didn't hear from the league yet. We didn't want to jump to conclusions," Mason said. "But we were prepared in the event that this decision didn't come down to move forward that way. We didn't think this was just a Clippers issue so we didn't want to put the pressure on Chris Paul and Blake Griffin and that team, we wanted to band behind our brothers to do the right thing and that would have been to communicate with the other teams in our league and let them know what we were going to do."

yall don't believe roger mason and kevin johnson?

it's not that I don't believe them, it's just they should've done this shyt sunday or talked about this shyt publicly before the punishment had been announced...to talk about what they wouldve done after the fact is coming off like they trying to show they have some type of backbone, are willing to standup for themselves, and not just some punk muthafukkas...which they came off as cause they damn sure didn't show backbone/heart before silver stepped in...it's that whole needing the white man to save the day/protect us cause we helpless shyt I was talking about...if they really felt that strongly after hearing those tapes, they would've applied that pressure to silver and the owners starting sunday....did they? nope, they went out and pouted while playing...

and now you got doc talking about he feel sorry for sterling's wife?...he really starting to piss me off and he needs a serious 'you still black' reality check...

You can't expect idiots to grasp simple logic breh

Since majority of The Coli is cowards they can't fathom other people who aren't bytchmade

Use a situation that should have unified response to still hate on your own (if you black), brehs.

Sh*t is disgusting. You ole self hate ass nikkas are clowns

 

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

The internet militants are the worst. Whatever the players chose to do, the self-hate blacks still would not be satisfied... because to not hate is something that is foreign to them. If the players boycotted one game, they would demand them to boycott two games. Boycott two games and they want them to boycott the whole playoffs. And all for what? Just to be on the 'right' side of imaginary militant ignorance.

 

[Milk N Cookies]

Yeah I think it shoulda happened immediately. I think had they walked off before the announcement
& the banning announcement followed would have been
