Putting a pause on the entire season within the next week would seem to make sense . . . but the NBA has been pushing that full slate of Christmas Day games pretty hard.

They really still planning to do the All-Star Weekend?

I think its coming. but after the Christmas slate of course. I wouldnt be shocked if Silver tried to squeeze in the MLK games as well before he closed it off

I wouldn’t be surprised if they already got the bubble as a backup plan this whole time tbh , booked already

the NBA, under the supervision of the Disney Corporation, is conspiring with ABC to extend the season in a new bubble in a fiendish plot to force us to stay home and watch games on TV for the ad revenue!

Feels like we're heading where either a short layoff is coming soon across leagues or they're going back to fanless/bubble games

I’ll don’t wanna waste too much time on this bad take but i gotta state that it’s not unthreatening to ALL of the players, some def are symptomatic, we don’t know the medical histories or underlying conditions of any of these cats and these dudes have to live in society with the rest of people as well …It’s just not about them being able to run and jump on game day with COVID

No league wants to be the one known for having a career end due to the virus or worst possible somebody dies…Better to be safe than sorry with these types of things

Multiple athletes have confessed difficulty playing to their normal standards post-covid with some detailing how rough having covid was for them

2 years into this **** and we still got these stupid *** takes. A million people in America will be dead from this soon, ****** gotta smarten up out here, it's serious for everyone

Sad to see covid still has a stranglehold on sports and society. Omicron is harmless.

2 years later, and we’re still canceling games due to covid. Haven’t we gathered enough information to realize covid isn’t a threat to these athletes? Majority of these cases are either asymptomatic or very mild.

Who's mans is this?

Thanks for your expert medical opinion. I will give it all the consideration it deserves.

Gotta stop letting dudes shake hands after the game

 

[lawdog1]

The Shams and Woj bombs are popping today like its the start of free agency or trade deadline day, but with COVID protocol updates only.

Some players been doing that, way ahead of the curve.

same man who relocated to lick shoe bottoms for StockX, cried in his car during lunch, and quit at the end of his first day.

He's got nothing to lose with this Omicron variant.
