..everyone handles tragedies in their own way.

Cancelling games isn't as simple as some people seem to think. The league decided to move forward with Sunday's schedule (in lieu of a logistical nightmare), while allowing any player to sit without penalty.

Most players decided to play.

The Lakers/Clippers match-up was postponed at the request of the Lakers (rare). Thankfully, the Clippers & the league office honored that request without issue.

Debating the merits of this decision in the middle of an RIP thread is in very poor taste when the entire league already gave their blessing.
