    Hopefully most of the other NBA teams don't follow this.
    How sad would it be for Nurk if his 'return game' on Sunday is without fans....

    So......

    I just read that the NBA last season had 25.1% of it's BRI from gate revenues. It's been trending down (was at 37% in 2004) but it's still significant. I'm unclear if the NBA has any protection against having to refund tickets or anything like.

    We have a global pandemic. Glad the NBA is finally taking action.

    Get ready to hear "Force Majeure" and any insurance policy claims being denied.

    Unfortunate, but there are bigger fish to fry. Nurk will play in front of fans plenty of times in the upcoming season.

    I have tickets to all 3 Blazers games Sunday through Thursday and my daughter has her high school state dance competition at the MC on Friday.

    The game on Tuesday my son is an honorary captain and would likely get to meet Dame. He'd be devastated if it didn't happen.

    This sucks.

    That really stinks man!

    My wife got me Blazers vs TWolves tickets for the 22nd in Minnesota and a free day out with my buddy, but sadly, that might no longer happen either.

    That does suck...
    What an embarrassing overreaction that would be.

    GSW’s have had fans this year? I thought they all jumped ship and became L*ker fans!

    I assume they will still be on TV? Will they pump in fake crowd noise?

    yup, it’s happening.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Looks like they're quite literally middle of the pack.

    Not too bad for the worst record in basketball. Blazers are #5.

    I believe the whole state of Ohio is banning events with big crowds. I bet this includes super churches.
