    OK, I'll admit it... I didn't know who the fuck Bruno Caboclo was until seeing your post. Maybe that makes me a bad fan, at one point I prided myself in being able to name at least ten players on every team, those days are gone but I still tend to be able to remember having heard of almost any NBA player's name when it's said or in print in front of me. In my defense this guy has only played like 26 games this season and his stats are atrocious, with the exception of his free throw shooting. Oops I was doing some research on him to see if my not knowing him was due to him being a foreign born player and me having some unwanted deeply seeded nationalism but then in doing that research, I remembered when the Raptors drafted him like 5 or 6 years ago in the first round... I remember it because it was considered such a huge reach and 5 seasons and several different stints with 4 different teams later... the guy has proved to be a really bad reach and so unremarkable that I think this is the only time any basketball fan outside of the teams he's been on has been aware of him since draft day 2014. Oh and that wasn't an intentional reference to the Kevin Costner movie "Draft Day" that also happened to come out in 2014.

    Man! Not good. I'm not gonna lie. I don't like Westbrook, but i don't wish this on him. Get well, and Blessings.

    I wonder if the bubbles loaded with the Hydroxychloroquine?

    With RW out that really hurts Houston. Not a fan of RW but he brings it every night.
    What will happen to Houston's small ball now?

    Unless he gets a bad case (and he says he's feeling fine right now), he should recover soon enough to rejoin the team before the playoffs start.

    This is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

    First time the rules are broken, I bet it won't be the last!

    I am curious how many of these are false-positives.

    I doubt they are false positives that are getting reported. The fact that harden waited so long to announce it but didn't travel with the team, clearly suggests they thought the first result was a false positive and wanted one or two more results.
