What do they expect to change immediately? I think there's plenty of conversation going on. I think this is a poor strategy. I think they can make change by continuing to play, getting the message across on the court, on their jerseys, in the on-game interviews, in post-game interviews. Now, they have lost at least 10 hours of that tonight and more in the future.

I think they're caught now. I understand peaceful protesting but really hurting the NBA, the hands that feeds you, who has supported you every step of the way. And for how long now? If they come back next week it'll seem pointless. If they leave the bubble, the season is over.

They want to owners to put pressure on government to make changes.

What changes? How? Take Mark Cuban for example. He's been shouting from the mountain top for years. I also don't think this is an issue solved by money.
