    I don't know if Forbes is right, but if it is that is a lot of money. I still think the NBA should care more about people than money, because long term something else is bound to piss them off.

    Great Rockets aren’t getting any calls this year, so they can indirectly get Morey fired by making us lose enough.

    Rigged NBA here we come.

    The long-con by the Rockets has worked perfectly then, to screw the NBA back for Game 6 and 7 in 17-18.

    The tinfoil hat part of me believes that Morey did this to spite the nba for the Nene debacle. Its crazy, but would be amusing.

    If it doesn’t happen now, it’s gonna happen later.
    In the end NBA is an American sport.

    Who would have known Nene would be the catalyst to ignite the whole basketball world on fire.

    This was bound to happen with thin skinned China at some point. I honestly would be thrilled if the whole thing was blown up right now.

    I'm already more than sick of the commies having thier hands in everything.

    So does this just push the entire country into the dark internet to find the games, where they will disocer more p*rn, more basketball, and enough weird shiot to start the revolution.

    Did Morey just do the unthinkable. Did he just free the people of China from bondage.

    NBA will survive. Maybe some owners lose some $$$ but it's not going to change **** for average real fan. Possibly hurt players in next bargaining agreement but I say walk away. Stop having the league's products made there and just enjoy the beatdowns most teams give to China in international games.

    The PRC's reaction to all of this is exactly why Daryl Morey's tweet is right.

    If Morey sneezes, Tillman will fire him. First of all, China does not play no ****ing games! From a tweet to games being cancelled. Can season start already so we can talk about how the Nets are 1 year away or how Zion will dethrone King James...Morey definitely can not wait. This fire is a furnace right now. 30 for 30 in 10 years lol.

    I fully support Morey. My one concern is if teams will want to deal with the Rockets anymore.

    When you go to bed with dictators and nazis you should never take that money for granted.

    Maybe silver lining is, Fertitta will end up selling this team bc it's "NOT MAKING ANY MONEY" and we'll get a new owner with deeper pockets and quietness.
