Lou Williams said emotions were running high during last week's league-wide players' meeting and that the Clippers "didn't really know our positions" on ending the NBA season.

"We spoke, we had one opinion, and we spoke again, we had a different opinion," Williams said of the Clippers' thinking during that tense meeting among players. "As far as the decision that the Clippers made, it was never a decision. It was a poll being taken in the room."

The Clippers were left to figure out what they truly wanted to do after initially polling in favor of not continuing the season.

"So we never had an opportunity to really explain our position," Williams said. "Truth be told, we didn't really know our positions."

"It was a frustrating time," he added. "We felt like we should take a strong stance on things that were going on outside of the bubble in real life, and we just didn't really know how to express that at the time. Thursday we let cooler heads prevail, and I feel like we made the decision that best fit us."

Before the NBA restarted in late July, Williams was "50-50" on resuming the season in Florida.
