THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[everysingletime]

Just realized this but IF that moment Gobert thought it would be funny touching all the phones and mics on purpose and he already had the virus or contracted it from one of those devices then he put a lot of people at risk. Not a good look, those media reporters stay on their phones

Yea those reporters gotta quarantine themselves too
I bet those reporters are thinking, what an A-hole. Lol

 

[dman14]

The wild thing is it ain’t all about Rudy...The already sick ppl and the old folk at the arenas he was just in are the real cause for concern, and you know that’s a decent number too

he was good to go if the the test came back negative. apparently, he was physically well enough to go

 

[elpablo21]

F*ck going anywhere bruh

This **** used to have me shook as a kid

Classic 90's right chea doe

 

[youngwolf]

They have a long segment on NBATV about the season being suspended and the first commercial at the break is a promo for a double header Friday

The Sixers has a commercial earlier today about the energy they get from playing in front of a “packed house.”

 

[noblekane]

Oh come on

only one thing to do

 

[T0INE]

This is crazy man.

With the way the coronovirus has been spreading, honestly it was only a matter of time before an NBA player got it, but Gobert's DGAF attitude and him doing the most has me like

**** that BAN.

If it makes you feel better, it's literally the most unrealistic depiction of an "outbreak" possible. It played on Ebola fears and turned it into airborne Ebola. Ebola doesn't work that way. It's relatively easily contained. Except for the part where an outbreak was recently declared over in the Congo where thousands died (mortality rate of 60%) and the media didn't report on it at all because it was Africa.

F*ck going anywhere bruh

Just watched this movie today and Contagion over the weekend for the first times. Scary days.

 

[amitt5504]

This would happen the first night Embiid and Horford look great together and Embiid looks in his best shape in two years

Man Jo looked good. Like he actually was working out the last week or so

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Space Jam is happening

23 years to the day. What a coincidence..

Are we working under the assumption Rudy had it prior to that microphone stunt? If so, it’s a wrap.

[yobyellav]

Was prepared to watch the whole Pels game. No way I’m not sleep within the hour now. Got HAPI rounds tomorrow.

I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he didn’t know yet, but if he did...he can go **** himself forever...

 

[dragicon]

I wonder what college basketball is going to do with the tourney starting up next week.

 

[ahat]

Relax, yall played detroit...at home

 

[tay1]

I'm still hitting broads raw

You eatin the groceries?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Which metric(s) will be used to decide when games can resume

Will they need 100% negative results from players, coaches and staffers? Dance team and entertainers. What about arena employees. Then there's the fans. The media. Seems like there will never be a full proof signal

I'm not saying the postponement decision is wrong but in the scheme of things if you're operating on the basis that you cannot hold a game if there's a positive case then how exactly are they going to be 100% certain everyone in the arena doesn't have it

 

[lawdog1]

This is what I’ve been thinking about. An abbreviated playoff schedule...maybe cut down the number of teams that make it or make the 1st rounds best of 5. There are things they can do.

 

[noblekane]

damn i think ima take a break on buying shoes or any online items

 

[lovehateself]

i mean they did suspend the season
Did their due diligence by identifying a ref who worked a jazz game and stopping his next game from starting

so yeah, it’s a wrap

Lakers vs.Clippers
Best of 5
Winner takes all
