SAN FRANCISCO -- The United States government finds themselves embroiled in a war in the Middle East for the...4th(?) time this century. This time the reasoning is much more serious than those the past. This instance? It is a distraction. They're trying to avoid having the American public realize that the NBA is openly collapsing on itself. Lets dig in.

We are huge Scott Foster fans. He might be the only reason that we watch the NBA anymore. However, this opinion is contentious. Foster's ejection of Draymond Green and Devin Booker early in the playoffs, and his chastisement of the AV staff have garnered much hate on the internet. This is simply a symptom of the broader disease.

Next up? Pay to play. These games are on streaming services. Prime, Peacock, what next Blockbuster? Again, another symptom of a patient that is rotten to the core and who's bleeding viewership revenue.

So, what does Adam Silver do? He calls up the President of the United States of America, and demands the bombing of Iran begin. That is right, we're directly implicating Silver in this horrific series of events.

Bring our boys and girls back home. Shut down the NBA. It is officially over.
