    There is a big difference in the job myself and many others on this board work and the job of these professional athletes.

    These guys are big, rich, and famous. That results in a target on their back wherever they go. It doesn't matter if they are doing anything wrong they will still be a target for the jerks and punks at the nightclubs. I am sure a lot of us have been involved or had friends who have gotten into confrontations at bars. That stuff can escalate quick. A couple of my friends can be hot heads and I don't even go out with them much because of it. You can find trouble at a bar or nightclub if you are just an average joe like myself or most of the people on this board. You add the fame and money that these players have and that just increases the chances of being involved in a confrontation.

    As already stated earlier nothing good happens after midnight. Why put yourself in a position like that if you are a professional athlete? It just isn't worth it.

    The point here is that they put themselves in a vulnerable position where this could have became ugly real quick. You never know what other people are going to do. Someone might have a gun or come after you throwing punches. I believe the organization, fans, and players want to stay out of controversy. You don't have to start the controversy but you can become involved in it/look real bad just by being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

        Did you see the advertisement PG tweeted last night promoting his party? Are you kidding me? Do you remember him tweeting one night at like midnight that he was on his way to Bloomington for Little 5? That was the night before a game!! How does Vogel allow this shi*t to go on? Going out during the playoffs? I guarantee Pop wouldn't allow this or a good team like San Antonio. How about going out as a team and having a nice respectful dinner? Nah, let's go to a night club. Nothing but good can come from that. Grow the fuc* up and party during the offseason.

              Is that counting your hand or not?
              Did you know Antonio and Dale arenโ€™t actually brothers?

                  These guys are grown men with means. They like to have fun. The night before a game means nothing. If the games were played at 8 AM and they were out till 4 getting ****faced, that's one thing. You can't micromanage their lives. If you try to, they are going to revolt faster than you can say Jim O'Brien. I'm sure Pop and other great coaches let their players do their thing and go to nightclubs and what not. They trust them to make good decisions. After all, they are adults.

                      dude, they play games late. They don't sleep until early in the morning. They have to go out sometime. And that's awesome PG going to the little 5, he gets to see the best that Indiana has to offer. awesome. Also, Danny's response to PG that night "don't go crazy." PG - "I'm not"

                      It's not different. Just like any other job its only a problem if you start coming in hungover. (actually not at my job. I work at a bar. It's kind of expected. ^_^ )

Curfews are for children and official curfews are designed around kids getting up in the morning to go to school. Not everyone is a first shifter. Do you head right to bed when you get off work?
                        I don't think you quite understand the purpose of a curfew. A curfew is not a bed time, it is just the time that you are not supposed to be out on the streets anymore. This isn't to encourage you to get a good nights sleep, but to keep you out of trouble and/or harm.

                          My brother was in a Broadripple establishment when he decided to be a doucher, like the people in this film, to Brad Miller. He purposely bumped into him, pushed him, and asked him to step outside. The next thing he told me was he was literally thrown out of the fine establishment while Brad was hitting on the honeys.

                            Yes, and you are putting rules and regulations on grown men who are used to getting their way. Giving them a curfew in the NBA is basically the coach saying, "Look, I don't trust you guys to not engage in dumbassery." That would just cause more problems. Trust your players. Trust your veterans to keep the younger guys in line. I really don't see the problem with this at all. Let the guys live their lives. If they start to betray your trust and engage in dumbassery, then you can start putting restrictions on them.

                              Also. Video guys totally need to insert Artest and Jackson's smacking fans overlayed in this footage. It might help the Stars story.

                                No. The Star won't want it. It was the white guy who was angry.
