    I'll be interested in how willing the players will be with going along with massively reduced revenue which will affect their current and future paychecks. This whole 'bubble' thing was done to meet contracts requiring a certain amount of games to be shown for TV. If that goes and the league has to start refunding or crediting, that will affect future paychecks even more.

    The WNBA postponed all games today, too.

    I don't know into which thread to post this. Maybe I'll put it into an off-topic one:

    This reminds me of Twitter's infancy back during the lockout, waiting on any and every update.

    Who's the leak? Shams and Haynes are getting blow by blow updates.

    Everyone besides Lakers and Clippers voted to continue. Usually when Californians are the only ones who think something is a good idea... it is usually the wrong course of action.

    Lakers and Clippers forfeited

    Portland plays the winner of OKC/Hou

    Mavericks play winner of Den/Utah

    If games are postponed for a week, can Dame play in 2nd round matchup with OKC/Houston winner?
