    This is OK. Hope Rudy recovers quickly and there are no more cases. Better to be proactive rather than reactive.

    You could argue that this indeed is reactionary, but i'm happy to see some action.

    Looks like the Mod squad has their work cut out for them to merge threads... Who will be selected as the GOAT suspended season thread starter!?!?

    Word, as much as we wanna watch the game we love it’s important to think of the health of the players/fans.

    Also, this dude was the one to mock the NBA's decision to move interviews to a podium but touching and putting his mouth on mics just a few days ago.

    Hope people start taking this seriously now.



    dude's gonna get sued.

    Well, I guess it’s time to start the off-season dialogue around here.

    What do you guys think is more likely?

    1. Season is delayed and resumes in a month or longer once virus stabilizes?

    2. Season outright cancelled and all games played this year are essentially meaningless?

    If 1 is correct, do they shorten the offseason to keep things on their regular schedule?

    If 2 is correct what do they do about teams like Milwaukee who looked to be on track to potentially win their first championship since 1971?

    I feel like they can’t just say “okay we will try again next year”; I mean they could, but that would not be fair to the teams who earned their positions.

    Either way you look at it, sounds like a win for us. We either get more time for our players to recover, or we can forget about what has been one of the roughest seasons in recent memory.

    Two things everyone should learn from this experience:

    1) Have at least 6montths-12months savings

    2) Already be prepared for shortages in times of need. Should’ve already had TP, bottled water, canned food, medicine, etc.

    That’s tough though.
