Players boycott games | Playoffs resume Saturday

[fifteenth]

I think that the players were deeply troubled by the shooting. I think that the Bucks felt it most accutely because it was in their backyard. I think, also, that the Bucks players felt some responsibility, both because it happened in their backyard and because they, as prodominately black men, feel some responsibility to use their platform to say things that won't be heard when other folks in the African American community say them. 

The Bucks decided not to play the game for those reasons. Then they reached out to the Attorney General to ask out what they could do and how they could help. 

I don't think any of that is weak.
