    Do we really want all the wives of forum members to be traveling to Japan?

    Wonder if each team just picks up where we left off. Or do they create a new schedule? They’d have to. I’m sure we would have a game coming up against a team NOT in Orlando.

    Yeah, this is going to be tough. There are 22 teams but only 8 games - who decides what teams we face? SOMEBODY's going to feel screwed.

    This is the kind of question you would ask me (like have I ever heard of a video recorder). If you are considered an employee, you should be getting good UI benefits. If you are an independent contractor, (in Washington at least) you should be able to also collect benefits equal to your previous income. If you are an independent businessman, you should be asking for a loan that you don't have to repay.

    Because the Northside might be the most beautiful place on earth.

    There are some really nice beaches on the south side also; a couple that my step-brother showed us that have almost no people. Sorry I don't have photos.

    And if I remember correctly, the weather is nicer on the south side; ocean usually calmer.

    Southside just isn't as scenic. As far as nicer weather, it is dryer for sure. But as somebody who grew up in Portland, rain doesn't bug me......especially when it's 80.

    Question......what do the Lakers and Bucks and other teams at the top of the standings have to play for? Would they just sit Giannis and Bron a bunch of they have a spot locked up?

    Some of Oklahoma State’s incoming freshmen football players were supposed to arrive in Stillwater yesterday. They were contacted and told not to report. I was told that happened because “5 players tested positive for coronavirus.”

    Only the 8th thru 13th in West and 7th through 9th in East have anything to play for. With no HCA to play for, why should teams like Utah or OKC or Houston care? I guess they can treat them like preseason games.

    Are you getting unemployment? You should be getting around $500 UI per week and $600 PUA per week. Or you could apply for PPP loan and get around $10,000 that you probably wouldn't have to pay back.
