NBA reopening gonna be a disaster?

**IBetYou** · 06-30-20, 12:59 PM

Only real fear is some knucklehead like JR Smith breaking the bubble to party then coming back and infecting everyone.

Denver just shut down their practice facility bc of two new covid cases on the team.

Pelicans say three people tested positive but won't disclose who (for fear it's Zion?). They concocted this stupid play in format specifically bc of and for Zion. Wouldn't it be ironic if he is quarantined for all of it?

This year's NBA champion will be the last team standing that has 5 available players by October

Probably right

It will b a disaster but they will play thru

lakers will win

half the teams won’t try

**Hman** · 06-30-20, 01:05 PM

While I am one of those who believes we haven't taken this virus serious enough, I also believe that these sports teams should just accept the fact that it's unlikely to harm them at all.

You are making millions. Man up

But then again since they have so much money in the bank already is one of the likely reasons they are reluctant to even play

Team that wins is the team that cheats and doesn’t report positive results. Can you you imagine a finals where Lebron and AD test positive but the results are withheld until after game 7? Ya, me too. They’ll get dlapped on the wrist, a fine and a good laugh as they’re hositing the banner

**DoctorStrong** · 06-30-20, 01:08 PM

Just cancel the season I'll take a push on my futures bets that have been pending forever it's driving me nuts

**Roscoe_Word** · 06-30-20, 01:12 PM

Young people (athletes in particular) can test positive but not exhibit (nor feel?) any symptoms.

Gotta remember, these guys spend mega deniro on wardrobes that would make Barry Manilow blush.

They're gonna miss the cake.

**Unrivaled** · 06-30-20, 01:13 PM

Of course it will be a disaster. There is no way every one of these guys stays in a bubble for months.

**jjgold** · 06-30-20, 01:14 PM

Yes they will not play 10 games

**clockwise1965** · 06-30-20, 01:15 PM

I will be surprised if they finish the season

**cincinnatikid513** · 06-30-20, 01:17 PM

I am surprised they r finishing season

but once they start it won’t end early

highly doubt that

**pavyracer** · 06-30-20, 01:18 PM

Wait until they start playing games. Then both teams will be quarantined.

I am clueless regarding pulling and posting vids here, but what I would like to see is the scene in
"Along Came Polly" with Ben Stiller and Phil Hoffman (RIP) playing pick-up hoops. Social distancing my ass.

Golf having a hard enough time, hoops going to be an absolute disaster.

Great movie.

This feels more like a social experiment than a finish to an NBA season.

I got the popcorn ready

**Roscoe_Word** · 06-30-20, 02:55 PM

Jenn looking good...even when she's grossin out.

Stephen A Smith on NBA players breaking the Disney Bubble because they're going to be sexually frustrated and need to go out for "recreational activities"...

There is no other reason this is being done than in the name of the mighty dollar. Gimme a break if anyone says otherwise. Players, owners and marketers all stand to gain by doing this.

The only guy that doesn't care about the money is LeBron busy chasing legacies since his real money comes from advertising deals.

The other big name advertising players that take in more than NBA contracts could ever give them like Durant, curry and Kyrie have already spoken by sitting out. They don't need it.

This is purely a money grab, I just hope to be on the right betting side of this crazy

Seems to me the best solution would be to stop testing players! Most of them don’t even know they sick until the test come back anyhow. So unless a guy feels sick leave him be! Lol

By then the whole team could be toast...lol.

Seriously though, could you imagine if they did this same thing for cold viruses (which also corona viruses) in the middle of the NBA season?

lol

Yeah find out which players tested positive and then put all players from all teams in the same room so all of them can catch it. And then start playing games. Survival of the fittest!

**big joe 1212** · 06-30-20, 04:07 PM

They are painting "Black Lives Matter" on the court!

Hope they don't play a game!

FUKK the NBA!!!

**jjgold** · 06-30-20, 04:08 PM

I don’t think they’re gonna play too many cases it’s going to get really worse people are gonna be locked in houses for months possibly a year

**IBetYou** · 06-30-20, 04:21 PM

Well the Spanish league just wrapped up. The German one ended the week prior. Both went off without a hitch! Without a hitch!!

All down to the players. They'd do well to put ankle tags on them when they're off the court... leave the bubble, don't bother coming back.

My nephew little league playing, pretty sure none them getting tested and all is well

**cybersharp** · 06-30-20, 04:57 PM

Well....the league needs to bring in the girlfriends. And the side pieces
for the 3 or 4 married guys!

Then, all will be well.

**jjgold** · 06-30-20, 05:00 PM

Half the people are going to have corona because they have IQs of 15 they don’t understand how to get it or not get it

**JIBBBY** · 06-30-20, 05:04 PM

NBA is fantastic no?
