"Do you think it's fair to your paying customers and your fans to not have any idea when your star player is going to play?"
"I'm not gonna answer. Anybody else got anything?"
"Like, people who got like real jobs, who have to work like 40-50 hours a week."
"The audience has to have trust in your product, and this is a real issue for Adam Silver."
