    Awful season and not fun to even watch. I’d be more unhappy overall without the NBA than just the Blazers. Not sad js my answer.

    Nope....thes eguys are young and wealthy, the machine that provides income for many families that support the nba.
    Most other business's are open let the nba continue even with some in protocol. They can use the youngsters and it could provide opportunities for some coming up from the G.
    All my kids are working through this stuff and sure if they are sick they stay home till they test negatives, they have mortgages and families to feed.
    Yeah, if I was worth millions, traveled all the time it might be tempting to promote shut it down...

    I don't want them to suspend practice......I want them only to practice all winter long until they actually have offensive plays and defensive instincts....I think trading should stay in play as well...the covid winter training camp year....team that uses their winter time best will come back in the spring and dominate the league!

    Canada paid affected people $2k per month... We had enhanced unemployment benefits.

    You didn't hear about that?

    Welcome to capitalism. We shouldn't have to think about money first. But we have to. So don't say that to someone if you can't realize people are in different lots in life.

    We live in a completely fucked society.

    Of course everyone should be sad if the season is suspended. It will mean that this virus is too out of control again for these billion dollar entities to continue to justify functioning as businesses. We should also all be sad for the huge group of people like @THE HCP who depend on sports and other forms of live entertainment to put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads.

    The season will not be suspended just because of the number of cases in the country, that won't happen. It will happen if there is actual tragedy like over hospitalization and an increase in the already profoundly sad number of 1000+ deaths a day from this one virus.

    I'll also be sad, despite the fact that our season isn't going well now, not to have the entertainment that the NBA brings me. I'll also be sad that so many people don't take COVID seriously enough and aren't vaccinated or taking mitigating action because of political nonsense and stupidity. Missing the entertainment and being sad over an absurdly divided country are fairly insignificantly depressing when contrasted with the tragedy of the deaths first and foremost and the financial hardships to working class people as well.

    Shut up. What a shitty response HCP is talking about his livelihood and ability to keep his house as he plainly states. So sick of this safety trumps people working and eating shit.

    Lol...Maybe I should have added green font. I was being snarky to those who don't care about the restaurants that got crippled. I'm admittedly not good at snark.

    My comment wasn't negative towards HCP as much as to those who have held a double standard through all this.
    You think he is the only one affected by this? I was not for forced shut downs from the get go...

    My wife lost work due to covid shut down. Maybe you want to check things before you jump hastily.
