    Its insane that the game is allowed to happen in LA, when the city is basically the new ground zero for the second wave.

    His teammates would have been once-removed from the actual contact, so no. If he tests positive, the whole team might get shut down.

    That should not only be an immediate quarantine, but should result in a team suspension.

    Each player should be required to walk from the bus to Staples inside one of those big clear plastic orbs.

    all players should be equipped with cordless leaf blowers so they can blow away any LA air from their breathing space! They'd look like Ghostbusters!

    Blazers looked SO much better tonight. I dont think it's a coincidence with Melo being out

    On the hurling three last game.
    Contusion just means bruise though. I’m sure he’s fine.

    When everybody was on here FREAKING out thinking that Stotts pulled him. He looked like he pulled his calf muscle...... asked to come out and Coach obliged. I was cracking up reading the game thread. Not that it's new around here, but hate just blinds most on here.

    "Melo to Miss Trip - Possible Contact Tracing"

    This proves that we'd have a better team if Trump hadn't prevented contact tracing.

    I'm not normally so cynical, but....
    I truly believe that Carmelo's primary interest is increasing his "scoring legacy" - a thousand more points (100 games at 10ppg) and he moves into the top 10 all time. That's why he has been so resistant to coming off the bench. I doubt he'll "sacrifice for the team", and Stotts knows that. Carmelo is bad chemistry waiting to happen.

    Hopefully, I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

    You may be right, but my guess is a little more simplistic:

    1) Melo truly likes basketball
    2) Melo thinks he's better than he is (not uncommon for NBA players)
