Well, 3 more NBA players tested positive for Covid-19 it seems. 2 Suns players possibly Rubio and Ayton and Jokic from the Nuggets. Makes you wonder if the season really going to happen.

It's happening... I'm guessing these are all asymptomatic since they did team testing and that is what prompted the tests. There is apparently 1 team with 4 positive tests per Woj... so the count could be like 7. I bet almost every team has one positive test.

Wait... I'm not sure you can cheer for this. I think you are going to get canceled.

Well we know that our two best players aren’t going to be out because of COVID. Unfortunately, our third best player will be out for non-COVID.
 
I am becoming more and more sceptical about the next season. Maybe NBA will manage to pull off that Disneyworld Playoffs formula but how can you realistically expect the regular season to start in the fall or winter? There is no visible end of the virus yet and we will probably see another waves of pandemic in the last months of the year. You can organise the playoffs in the "sterile" situation but what next? You can't lock the players up in the hotel for a half of the year or so.

I’m sure they only care about money.

He got busted DM'ing some big booty instagram ho a few years back but that's about it, though I've heard pretty verifiable rumors about other things. None of my beeswax though, that's between his wife and him.

I don't even consider the decision wrong, just a small bit of self awareness. His advisors should have known better to not do that than he should have. The fact anyone outside of Cleveland was upset by that is silly.

Busted? If yr famous and you aren't DMing big booty hoes what are you doing with your life?
 
i think they should shut down the season. People are talking about the economic loss the players will take but how much money can you make and spend if you are dead.

Look what is happening now, it has only been a couple of weeks and states were doing partial openings and now the infection rate is increasing. Until there is a vaccine it is not safe to be close to other people. Already sports that have opened up are experiencing infections. i can only imagine what happens if one player infects others and one of his teammates die. Who is liable for the death? Lawyers will be happy I guess.

Were all 4000 cases recorded in Disney World?

Why people believe that if a state has x the whole state has x in some equal proportion is a mystery. Crime works the same way. A large city can have a bad crime rate, but it doesn't tend to be evenly distributed across the city.

With levels of the virus like that in the community its only a matter of time before the players get infected.

I mean a bunch of dudes just found out they got it... the bubble is likely safer than the general public. I'm not sure any of the guys are symptomatic. Most of these guys are not staying home and those that have major concerns are welcome to do so.

The risk is really reasonable imo.
