Surely there has to be a way to convey your message with a little less physical contact especially in these sensitive times.

I fully understand the reasons for the boycott. But during this times, and if the NBA season is finally called off, no player should be paid a dime. All proceeds from their would be salary be committed to worthy causes to further the interest of the minority communities.
While at it, I want the NBA stars to speak loudly against riots and looting too. Two wrongs do not make a right. You can't destroy democracy to build democracy.
I don't support riots or looting but people literally pushed Kap out of the league and his means of livelihood just for taking a knee. You can't say people have not tried peace.

Think about it. Someone used literally the most peaceful form of protest and more people were outraged by that than the actual issue on ground. To the point that he lost his job

Fast forward and these issues are even worse now. Players should get paid for the games they showed up for though, not in support of them not getting paid for the games they have played

Bro calm down. Look at it this way: if they never played, there would be no leverage for players to skip games. The fact that they returned to work gives the opportunity to choose the terms of work.

This is a marathon battle. Emotions are not enough, they fade. After you cry, dry your eye and execute strategy. If u say your strategy is to not play at all, cool. What are your next steps?

For me, just staying home is useless. The fact that the players are active has amplified their voice. You cant block out lebrons comments on national tv right sfter a game. Just my thots...

Just to add im not against ending the season. Its up to the players on this one. But it is going to be painful either way
Exactly. Had the season ended then this platform would be non existent. There would not be talk of other sports joining in and it would not resonate like it is doing now. The boycott is not ideal and I'm not for it but I understand

Like you alluded to, this is a marathon and not a sprint, there has to be an understanding with the players and with everyone else that this change will not come overnight and so this is a battle for the long haul. The players cannot do more than they are doing now within their sphere of influence

Beyond the flash and initial outrage there is need for concrete plans on how to move this discussion beyond just talk on social media.

Overall this whole thing is bigger than Sports. Their society at large has to take a good look at themselves and decide if they are really the Land of the Free like they claim and what that even means. This would influence who they vote for at all levels and guide how they hold their officers accountable. Whether political or law enforcement

I no talk am? The Bucks are refusing to come out of the dressing room for game 5 because they want to boycott the rest of the postseason. Top NBA officials/ exeecutives are now scampering and now inside their dressing room trying to save the situation and have them play.
Well you called it. I do hope they have more planned than just simply not playing.

Actionable plans, sponsoring lawsuits and more importantly getting more white owners to be passionate about reforms. Make them see these people getting shot as potential fans that put money in your pocket one way or another.

The way I see it is that the pandemic created a certain kind of environment and danger that certain kinds of people/athletes will thrive in while certain others will wilt.

The pandemic with all its consequences can be seen as a revealer of vulnerabilities and of levels of resilience and of adaptation and of flexibility.

For example, some players can perform better without the fans, while some will need to draw their motivation and energy from the fans.

Some people can thrive in war times but are nobody's in peace time. The war is an opportunity for those who have been built for war time to shine, for those who can adapt to thrive and for those who can't to cower and to lose.
What will they say about health workers that are in the line of fire every day. A lot of these athletes are just entitled and that's the truth. It's easy to take certain stands because your livelihood does not require you to show up at work every day

The world has turned upside down for so many people. Yet some still have it better than others

I told you Lillard or no Lillard that series was not getting to 6 games.

Nurkic and Whiteside are not half decent defenders that can remotely slow down AD. And that Blazers team was sorely lacking in depth.

Jacob Blake’s shooting once again makes me sick to the stomach..Should the players boycott the rest of the season? I will tell you it is gathering momentum and it will not shock me if they choose to stop playing even though it seems distant at this time.

Officers are supposed to deescalate situations not escalate them to dangerous points where lives are at stake. Very sickening..
Even if they boycott the season these people won't stop shooting. In fact if I'm Giannis I'm looking at George Hill sideways for that statement he made. Playing or not playing does not change anything

Unless there is some form of civil disobedience and coordinated protests, not this one we just witnessed but organized and not performative bs. This thing will never change. The gap of what constitutes as a threat is too wide and too much power has been given to these officers to interpret as they deem fit.

This is what will happen in China and the Middle East and Holier than thou Americans go begin chook mouth

The 4th option can be OBM Oliver Batista Meier or even Phonzie. I think that should do
Yes just someone happy to be here and that won't put too much dent on the wage bill

Rentals like Perisic and Coutinho are pretty expensive though they were very much worth it in the end

raumdeuter:
If both are injury free I dont know how we sort out that LCB, I dont know if we can pair two lefties in CB. I will prefer for Kouassi to go out on loan
Isn't Lucas able to use both feet? I thought he could. Anyway I have not heard anything about loan for Kouassi, he already has games for the PSG senior team so it remains to be seen if the loan option is viable. I'm not a fan of loans without firm agreement for him to play.

Besides we have Pavard and Süle that can play besides Alaba and Lucas. No worries there

raumdeuter:
We surely wont be expecting another treble, but we want to win as much as possible, Sane needs to deliver his own CL now.
Yes I agree. The window is wide open and the manager is the right one for the job. Hopefully we are lucky with injuries. It really helped that our key forwards were all fit

raumdeuter:
I am hoping we get some lowkey transfer too, but if we cant get a sure thing, make we no waste time on those loans. I feel Coutinhos loan and salary might be the cause of the Alaba asking for more and more money
Bayern rarely misses on loans so no cause for alarm there, it's likely we find someone.

I think it's only right to pay Alaba. 10 seasons of service and he's only 28. A 2 year extension means we will be able to utilize his best years at his prime left. I think if they can agree on a deal to 2023 he would only be 31 then. Alaba was very crucial and reliable this season despite one or two errors.

raumdeuter:
Lewandoski has won as much as he can with this CL title, I hope we manage him well so he can play into his mid and late 30s. A striker like him is rare these days
Lewandowski barring any unforeseen jujonic force should be able to age like Zlatan. They are similar in style and don't rely on the attributes that wane quicker with age

He is showing that all that analytics talk is bulljive. The mid range is a lost art and CP3 just painted another master piece with it Respect.
Like I always say a made 2 is better than a missed 3. Sometimes you have to take what the defense gives you and such if it's uncontested 2's then you take it.

I'm not saying you go full DeRozan or Ben Simmons but unless you're Steph Curry level as a #1 option I don't think you should be taking more than 5-7 3 pointers in the playoffs. Especially when the first 2 or 3 don't fall.

As a Rockets fan I would have gone batshit crazy that year they missed 27 straight 3's

Asssin, he is nothing but a low end 3rd best player getting paid as a high end 2nd best player of a championship caliber team. Will not begrude him his dough but the Bucks wiffed with that contract.
Especially as a small market team the margin for error is too thin to overpay a player whose production is replaceable. My belief is perhaps he gets along with Giannis and they thought it best to pay him so that Giannis does not feel a type of way

Coutinho Perisic Thiago Javi and Odriozola leaves and Sane comes in

I think we have enough bodies on the wings with Sane Coman and Gnabry, One issue is what happens in our defence? Alaba or Hernandez both are LCB and LBs Lucas is our record signing and Alaba if he resigns will want guarantees on the LCB position.
I am thinking we can use Phonzie as aour 4th winger if we are that pressed
Odriozola and Javi hardly played so it's hard to count them as losses.

With Sane, Coman and Gnabry at the wings it's best we use a relatively cheap and problem free youngster at the wings as a 4th option. Remember these are 3 young guys who will want to play so if all 3 are fit you already have selection headache by default

Between Lucas's injury history and Alaba going into his 11th season as a starter surely both of them should be open to rotation, fortunately there would be plenty games to go around

Boateng is injured so that's another problem. We know at this point we can't rely on him to be fit either. But Süle and Kouassi gives us options

I think it's key to not go into the new season expecting another treble, I would rather we retool from within and just win the Super cup and club world cup. We would still contend in the Champions League regardless but you always need a bit of luck there

raumdeuter:
The main issue is now in CM where we are losing many bodies. We only have Kimmich Tolliso Goretzka and (Muller). Losing Thiago Coutinho and Javi in that department. We need some people there and I mean those ready to start top games not just Cuisance Singh Fein and youth players. Given that Tollliso and Goretzka have some unreliable fitness

I think we should let Lewandoski rest small for many games at th beginning of the season and let Zirkzee play. Lewy hs been playing a lot, he is always ready and we need to manage him properly
I wouldn't worry too much about CM, knowing Bayern there is always a silent deal nobody sees coming. James, Perisic, Coutinho all came by surprise.

Worst comes to worst we see what Cuisance has to offer, I think he has to start getting good minutes in his second season. Maybe he's the next Davies at the 8 position who knows?

I wouldn't put it past Lewandowski to be fit and firing for the new season with little downtime, I heard his wife is a fitness trainer which would explain why he's always seemingly in shape. Still we can blood Zirkzee into the team fully. He made the most of the opportunities he got last year and deserves a little more

I asked if Boathand would be in your Ucl team of the season, you picked him and Alaba. So what did that selection mean? You are confused and it's your type that will put two legs in a trouser's leg.

Can they do another one next season?
Crazy. Dante's part was the most enjoyable for me and Pizarro no age one bit.

This coming season will be very interesting. Potential/Confirmed exits

Coutinho
Thiago
Perisic
Javi
Odriozola

That's quite the turnover. I'd love for us to keep Thiago. I don't know why he can't do another 3 seasons with us before leaving

Overall I don't see why we can't do another B2B with a bit of luck.

25 or younger
Sané
Gnabry
Coman
Pavard
Lucas
Davies
Kimmich
Goretzka
Süle

It can be argued that this team has not even hit its peak. I believe this core alone should be good for another CL at least within the next 4 seasons barring any winchy winchy pattern.

I'm also looking forward to seeing more of guys like Orobosa Zirkzee, Cuisance and Fein. We have an absolutely stacked schedule this incoming season that is barely two weeks away. We will need to uncover some new gems like we always do

Kellerman was like dame is exactly like curry but shines brightest in the biggest moment.
All because of 2 clutch playoff shots and swag.

But Lillard's record shows he's a serial choker in the biggest stage.

He choked in the last 2 series the previous year.
Got swept by the Pelicans with jrue making him his son.
He was choking again against the Lakers before the Injury bailed him out.
He has the worse record in the NBA playoffs for any active player.

Harden that's labeled a chocker has done more with less than Lillard yet he's always labeled a chocker and bad teammate.

Harden will take this current Portland side to at least the WCF.
Let's be a bit fair to Lillard. I think their shock win of Game 1 really raised expectations beyond their level. I said it here that I don't see them taking the Lakers even to 6 games. Their names look good on paper but they lack depth. They don't have any wings that can play even G-League level defense. It's Dame and inshallah. As CJ is wildly inconsistent
