    That's what they claimed after the fact. I guess we've had 23 protest games this season.

    That's right. I thought they sat, but it was just an "effort" thing.
    Still fans pay. Do that type of thing two years in a row and I'm gonna get mad as a seasonticket holder. They are one of the largest draws, and we only get to see them once, unlike GSW/SPurs/Clips, etc.

    Golden State protested against us their first game after the all star break. Then they protested the final 3 game of the playoffs.

    Protests successful, the NBA gave them Durant.

    Wonder if it really will be empty tonight. Sunday's game ended up being 3/4 full.

    lol literally the only reason it's being played is because it's on ESPN... might be the dumbest thing Ive ever heard. Worst league in sports, and it's not even close.

    Sucks for everyone that paid the hiked up prices for the Cavs game. I'm in the close-in east side, so I'm going to be able to make it (and hopefully get a serious seat upgrade), but know most aren't so lucky.

    So last time it was cancelled due to snow. This time we get more snow and the game is on? Makes sense.

    City of Portland is telling everyone to stay the fuck home. Temperatures are dropping, everything is going to freeze up. Not safe, stay home.

    NBA says screw the safety of fans, the nation needs Lebron.

    If I was coach, I'd have my regular starting line up in for introductions, then, at the very first chance I could, call a time out and sub everyone.

    Fuck you, ESPN.
