The Raptor's are exiting, a repeat would rock! They can do it, showed it all season. Go Raptor's.

I would rather see sports not to be mixed with politicss. There place and time for both separately. At least for me sports is away time from everything else, relaxing and enjoying excitement and good performanses by pros.

If players have a platform to speak out about injustices happening in our society today and have an opportunity to do something about it, then it should be their prerogative to do so. By sitting out, it forced their rich owners to contact people higher up in the government and maybe actually change something, instead of everything staying at status quo.

Now, multiple arenas will be polling sites for the upcoming election and if athletes are the ones sparking change in their communites, then more power to them.

I mean, look at Masai Ujiri and how he was treated by the cop in the finals last year. The cop clearly pushes Ujiri first and then decides to take him to court, despite being the aggressor... and the only reason Ujiri came out on top was that he had the backing of the owners of the Raptors who are absolutely loaded with money.

Ok then who determine which cause is suitable for boycott? World is pretty shitty place and most leagues have foreign players so do they boycott every other day if one player demands? Or is it that usa matters?

Players are famous and they have lot of influence to make difference outside of playtime and none forces them play if they think politics is more their thing. There are lot of hungry players to take their place in that case.

In the end playing is their job and what good is employer if they don't do their job?

Athletes trained to become the best at there sport. If they make to the big show, it's a great payday, and they get to live like rock stars. They're are not political, social, ethical, religious, purists or even law experts. They're not scientist or intellectuals. People are selfish and ignorant saying athletes should make a scene at they're work place on the job. Normal people get fired for that, so do they.

Double OT is rare

 

[dom97]

That Celtic's result last night sucked. But as proven in Game 5 under pressure the Celtics generate a blowout. Looking forward to Friday's game 7!

 

[jhonsoto83]

Very good 7 game between two great teams TORNTO vs BOSTON where the best Boston was victorious will face Miami it will be a great battle for the position of the grand final of the NBA.

 

[GIO333]

If boston can keep jaylen and jayson together and build team around them , boston will dominate nba for many years ... watch out

 

[GIO333]

and marcus of course what a beast...

How unexpected in the NBA in the DENVER VS CLIPPER bubble, the most impressive record of the turnip being underneath wins the 4X3 series.

That series was unbelievable! They can't possibly beat the Lakers.. can they?

 

[Michel_11]

Many surprises in these NBA playoffs. I was pretty sure the Clippers would beat the Nuggets, especially after opening 3-1. Jokic is a monster.

 

[jhonsoto83]

For today it will be ANGELES 'first game against DENVER. Los angeles have to be very aware of not letting DENVER reach 3x1 because they already know what awaits them

 

[gichka97]

Let's see now if Nuggets will come back 3rd consecutive time in these playoffs..

 

[christmasscorpion]

Hello. I think the Lakers will be the champion
