    HA! This isn't going to end well. The meals on the plane are 100X better than that!

    We'll just see. I don't think the NBA should have ever decided to resume given that the nation never actually hit milestone's the white house said would be necessary for reopening but nevertheless the NBA did decide to resume. I don't think there have been close to enough positive tests around the league (which has been testing like crazy) to warrant your certainty. However I wouldn't be disagreeing with you if you were just saying you were skeptical that this is going to work because I am and even Adam Silver is. With that said, I do think you are completely wrong in saying it just won't happen. It's happening as we speak and they have quarantine protocols that will keep it happening even if there are a few more initial positive tests upon arrival. So the restart itself is happening, it's just a question of how far it will make it. If you're saying there's no chance the NBA actually gets to crown a champion this season then I'd say you're still way too certain but I see where you're coming from.

    Check out what I found the other day below. I don't think it will happen. It might start, but it will not finish. But they will try their damnest to make a buck.

    If you don’t think it will happen, then when will it happen? The conditions won’t be different next season. If this doesn’t work, no season next year either, CBA is torn up, lockout, etc, could be the end of the NBA altogether.

    Again, the hospitals in Florida are filling up. Medical staffs are overworked. Today Pence has asked medical personnel to start to reuse PPE because we're running low again. If a player gets a Nurk or Paul George or Kevin Durant like injury do we really want to send them into that type of situation?

    Serious injuries happen.

    Nah, that's extreme. Its just too soon. Scrap this restart and focus on November. Anyone who wins will have such a large asterisk next to it anyhow that no one will take the title winner seriously this year. Its all about the money is the only reason they are trying and I think that's a terrible look.

    You really think the owners will reduce the value of their billion dollar franchises to zero just to fuck the players out of money?

    Of course I had already read that article... I just said that even Adam Silver is skeptical but your certainty is a gross overreaction.

    I'm hoping this turns out to be a successful situation....I wouldn't have risked any of it but they are so I'm going to hope they all stay healthy and they have transportation to get injured players to a safe facility if major injuries occur..medivac....Go Blazers! During the Influenza outbreak in 1918 they had more success with fresh air outdoor tents than indoor buildings treating patients....now you have to have doctors and nurses who aren't infected as well...that's a rough one.
