Yep, seems weird too. Should reduce the teams for the play- in and not expand..... inviting the likes of the Wizards is mind boggling but whatever caters to their business.... Smh at not reducing games too. They started out with 5 regular games, now 8. They should just admit that the end product is more relevant than safety, this hypocrisy is crippling.
Matt Barnes on players wanting injustices in the black community addressed before basketball resumes: "A couple guys from the Lakers and the Clippers ... there are some whispers about some teams not being comfortable. Some guys want to play and some don't want to play."
If the show must go in when a player tests positive, this could get dumb real fast. Imagine going into the finals, only for the opposing team's starters all testing positive and going into quarantine. Sorry folks, but.... that's an ASTERISK.
Imagine Lakers vs bucks and Lebron and Greek freak both get the virus. I think it's smart of WB going out to protest in Compton so he can get the virus now. Where is Harden? Get the virus now and recover by end of July and you don't have to worry about getting the virus in August
Come to think of it I still don't think we ever found out who the positive Lakers' players were. Maybe LeBron already had it.
I was curious about that too. I assume it was probably some bench guy, but who knows. Lakers kept a closed lips about those 2 testing positives while we knew all about the Nets players
Naw, LeBron got whatever Trump got that gave him immunity from the virus. He is the Choosen One. Too important.
Interesting timing. Not like the Spurs were going to win the title or anything, but...wow. You couldn't have gotten this done right after the season was put on hold?
Is LaMarcus a HOFer? This guy put up some good stats, but never made an impact on winning. And now when the team needed him most, he shuts down, as he usually does under pressure Spurs should just blow the team up. LaMarcus is 35 years old and DeRozan, he gone. Time to start over Spursfantalk
Even though Dame hit the dagger, Aldridge was a playoff beast when they beat the Rockets with Howard and Harden.
LMA is a dying breed, too. Skillset isn't exactly suited for today's NBA, although his game doesn't rely on athleticism, which is good. Not sure what pieces the Spurs could get by trading Demar and LMA.
To be fair. This is one of those non-essential procedures. If he did it then, he would be criticized for taking resources away from the pandemic.
Lelz, I dun think you get to choose the time of contracting the virus. The Virus chooses you and the time of infection if unlucky. You might not even get it, I imagine many are just asymptomatics.
