Announcement from NBA?

**Demonata** · 04-04-20, 10:15 AM

The nba is not coming back this year. Neither is MLB. Still hope for football though.

**asiagambler** · 04-04-20, 10:18 AM

Sports not coming back until we have a vaccine

What, you mean 18 months lockdown?

**IBetYou** · 04-04-20, 12:09 PM

Business will resume sooner rather than later. Simply not affordable to have a lockdown lasting beyond summer. There will come a point where enough people have had it and built up immunity that herd immunity strategy will kick in.

According to Trump, vaccine will be ready by November 😁

**IBetYou** · 04-04-20, 01:02 PM

Yeah but didn't his top man Faucci rebuke him?

**IBetYou** · 04-04-20, 01:04 PM

Even after they invent it they have to test it and then produce it on a massive scale.

**asiagambler** · 04-04-20, 01:08 PM

I don't know how long it would take. A high probability treatment protocol would work too and it very well could be the anti malaria drugs. But at the very least, they can't play with crowds until this is sorted out

Still holding out hope but recent NBA buzz not good

**jjgold** · 04-04-20, 01:15 PM

I think the national basketball Association will be back

**cincinnatikid513** · 04-04-20, 01:16 PM

It looks like books are starting to cancel NBA season win totals wagers. Was an official announcement made by the NBA about the rest of the season? I haven't seen anything.

It really sucks -- I had OKC over 31.5 and they hit that number on Feb 7, long before play was suspended. Bet was cancelled earlier today.

man that sucks. Good future you had regardless. You will pick good ones again.

The NBA is working on televising a H-O-R-S-E competition that will include several high-profile players, per
@wojespn

Players would presumably shoot from inside their home gyms and match shots against competitors.

Now that is a good idea

**IBetYou** · 04-04-20, 09:18 PM

give me a break!

**lakerboy** · 04-04-20, 09:40 PM

I'm laughing at the NBA. I hope they suffer so much for paying lazy people to play a game and for the most part find a way to get days off.

**jjgold** · 04-04-20, 09:46 PM

Let’s focus on Preventive measures of getting corona

**johnnyvegas13** · 04-06-20, 11:24 AM

NBA needs to announce something soon

Because that will make everything better. Probably work as well as the flu vaccine. I'd say 80% of people who have told me they had flu past 8 years received the flu vaccine. Yes, this is anecdotal, but I started regularly asking people in 2012 after I received shot and got sick. Only time in my life where I had anything close to flu-like symptoms that I recall and only year I got shot.

"CDC estimates that influenza was associated with more than 35.5 million illnesses, more than 16.5 million medical visits, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths during the 2018–2019 influenza season".

I'll be first in line to poison myself...

None of that matters. Just the perception. A presumed working vaccine is good enough

**thomorino** · 04-06-20, 01:50 PM

The nba isnt coming back amytime soon, all it takes is one player testing poaitive amd the league is ahut down for at least 2-4 weeks again.

**Emily_Haines** · 04-06-20, 02:20 PM

All sports are done until there is a vaccine. Enjoy your madden sims and Russian ping pong.

**asiagambler** · 04-06-20, 02:23 PM

Even with offshores having little overhead, have to wonder if they can remain solvent if USA sports are done until next year

You are correct.

And when that vaccine comes, pro sports will join the rest of the word for huge rude awakening. When corporations (that are left) go to look at expenses, those season sports tickets go bye bye. And families that used to go. Nope, can't afford. Nobody will be there.

**jjgold** · 04-06-20, 03:03 PM

USA sports are starting in June

Some soccer leagues might start in summer but can't see much else

Just like the real thing, wealthy jocks taking turns to shoot uncontested jump shots.

I'll tell you what basketball league will for sure be functioning: Ice Cube's Big3. But that's not real basketball, and it appears it will be more reality TV than sport. Bunch of thugs sharing a house and getting up to adventures between games. Lots of fake fighting I expect.
