I just read this on the Internet. Seems like the floor was too slippery (ie. dangerous) to play on, so the game was called in the middle of the first period. Read my abridged version of the article and pay attention to the words I put in bold. Who made THAT decision. THE GAME WAS CALLED BECAUSE THE FLOOR WAS TOO DANGEROUS! LOL
The Milwaukee Bucks have a slick new floor to play on this season. Maybe a little too slick, it seems.
Officials called off Friday night's preseason game between the Bucks and Toronto Raptors because of concerns about the condition of the floor. Officials stopped the game with 5:58 left in the first quarter after several players slipped and fell on the court surface.
Raptors coach Dwane Casey said his players first expressed concern about the floor conditions during pregame warmups. "It felt like it was OK," Casey said. "Then I don't know what happened, but it was too dangerous. We had guys slipping and falling. The last thing we need is to have a guy injured slipping on the floor in a preseason game."
NBA lead official Danny Crawford said he and the other officials determined the floor was unplayable.
"Then when we had a few guys go down, we figured we should have a conference. And both teams wanted not to continue the game."
The cancellation announcement to fans was made by former Bucks player John McGlocklin. Standing on the court, McGlocklin announced that anybody who had tickets to Friday's game could exchange them for tickets to a regular-season home game in November.
He also invited fans to shoot baskets on the floor, and said that the evening's planned donation to the MACC Fund would be unaffected by the cancellation.
***I'm thinking ... NOT a smart invitation!!!!!!!! ***
