Not a good night for Paul George who had his house robbed in game five and All-Star ring stolen. Reports that they also stole Roy Hibbert's talent are unconfirmed.

In Donald Sterling news, Simmons expects:

What I'm expecting today, Part 1: Silver announces lifetime suspension for DS and that he's starting franchise termination process ASAP.

What I'm expecting today, Part 2: NBA Players Assoc. demands July free agency for all Clipper players unless NBA sells Clippers ASAP

Free agency for all Clippers players would be :eek:

That is very insincere to be honest, how can anyone take that as a serious contribution to the debate?

The Clippers have their best chance in years and opposition coach wants their fans to stay at home for a 2-2 Game 5...

I would agree with fans boycotting the game as long as the whole arena were empty. Like a European football game played behind closed doors.

I feel Sterling will be forced to sell, Not by the NBA but by the financial constraints that will come with the loss of Sponsors, Ticket revenue, Mercendise Sales etc. There won't be a shortage of wealthy investors who would be willing to buy in. It would be perfect if Magic Johnson and his business partners could buy the team.

Free agency for all Clippers players? Wow that would be massive. CP3 and Griffin on the open market would be madness

Where do you all think Paul and Griffin end up if they are hypothetically free agents and you had to call it right now?

That's a tough one. I'd look at maybe Dallas as team who would be willing to spend for success. Cuban would certainly be interested in both of them.

They don't even leave the building. They become Lakers.

But it's not going to happen. I'm telling y'all if they go down the route of trying to strip him of ownership it will go to the courts and if so, has the potential to stop the entire league next year as Sterling will take out an injunction against the whole league if they try and take what's his.

He'll prob get a huge fine and suspension, but they will not be able to take the team away from him unless he wants to sell.

In fairness to Atl's Mike Scott, he has improved considerably from the last time I really noticed him play ball:

George won't leave The Pacers, He has a massive contract coming into effect.
I think we need to do what ever we can to resign Lance.

Way to miss the point!!!!

But seriously, you want Lance when all the evidence points to the fact that he's at least part of (if not the biggest part) of the problem?

The reported $5 million fine for Donald Sterling represents .5% of the estimated worth net of the Clippers.

Yeah, but the Clipps are only part of his "empire". It's peanuts to him. He'll probably be laughing at it with his friends at the next Klan meeting.

Taj Gibson posted a picture of him outside the apartment complex that he lives in. AMLI River North in Chicago, looks unbelievable. It's full of Chicago sports people:

Oh yeah, there's some games on tonight :eek::cool: (none on BT Sport though:()

Wizards can dump out the Bulls in Game 5 tonight at the United Center, tip off in around 30 mins on TNT

The Grizz head to OKC to face the Thunder in their Game 5, series tied at 2-2 so this is a crucial game for both, tip off at 2am on NBA TV

The Warriors head to LA for Game 5 against the Clippers and following the news about Sterling (see thread here), this game is gonna be more fierce than the previous 4, tip off at 3.30 on TNT
