it's too bad because having 10 of these guys running around a basketball court would be really entertaining: would Zach be less likely to be in foul trouble playing in a bubble? could they make Reggie Miller's bubble sound-proof? how 'freaky' would a Greek bubble be?
sure and if it's the NBA finals, a star getting Covid, inside that bubble, could determine the champion I'd also be concerned about how well the players have done at keeping in shape. It's going to be a real short 'training camp' with no exhibition games. It's also likely to be a lot of games front-loaded. Seems like there could be plenty of injuries, both minor and major
* has there been any release yet of tentative schedules? Speaking of which, will each day's results determine the future schedule in that 8 game regular season? * has there been any info on game times? Seems like there could be a lot of games to start with in that regular season. I'm wondering because a 1pm start time in Orlando would be 10am here * the rules for the "play-in" tournament and the battle for 8th seed confuse me a little (which doesn't take much). Anybody have insight? * is the seeding weighted? By that I mean, do the top 4 teams in each conference (for example) have a margin of error greater than the teams fighting to get in? In other words, will the high seeded teams be 'forgiven' for some unexpected losses that could drop them from a #1 seed to a #5 seed otherwise?
I think there are a lot of details still being worked out by the league, but this Forbes article gives a pretty good synopsis of what has been made public: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fo...-odds-news-on-basketballs-return-to-play/amp/
And they will have to dump their own garbage. I know it sounds simple but you do see where i'm going with this right? It ain't gonna be a "Bubble". They have called it that so people believe it's going to be secure. Not gonna happen. Back to my original statement. "I think they will have to rethink this...." I most certainly could be wrong. They might do it anyway. If this fails it will be a marketing NIGHTMARE.
So in Florida when the NBA players are in this bubble playing you don't think they'll be anymore infections?
I dont think the NBA is going to cause an uptick in death toll, even if what you say might happen actually happens. Itll be safer for the players (and especially their families) in the bubble than it is for them now, even if someone somehow gets infected in the bubble.
Probably not. It is only a very few people in the big picture. If they handle it well it could be fine. But if this goes bad? Could go really really bad. And i miss the Blazers. So the selfish side of me wants to see it happen.
In the assisted living facilities, you can put your garbage bag outside in the hallway. Food is brought and left outside your door. There is no reason the players could not clean their own rooms and change their own linen. They could have designated times when players could use the hallways and elevators and other designated times for staff.
Nope. They expect infections but those people will be quarantined. Why else are they testing everyday?
