2024 NBA Season

[Distinctin]

1 case is crucial already. It's a bubble.

What I'm seeing is, the season will officially end if the spreads meet the numbers you have stated. 5-10 people can almost cover the whole people inside the bubble once they will do a contact tracing.

There is no reason at all to continue the league if more than 5 will be infected inside that tight security and well-hygieneated bubble.

At this point in time, 2 weeks before the resumption of NBA games even 1 case is crucial but with the case of Jukic where he tested negative just one week after the announcement that he had the virus, i think those who tested positive could still make it. Hope that the NBA will strictly implement protocols so that this resumption will go on as plan.

I think the first test on Jokic was more like inaccurate test because the succeeding test gives him a negative results.
Not sure with that one though, just correct me if I'm wrong.

And here's the latest statement regarding players that are confirmed positive with covid-19

NBA Sports Medicine Director: Players Who Test Positive out Minimum of 2 Weeks

NBA players who test positive for COVID-19 during the league's restart in Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, will be out for at least two weeks, per Dr. John DiFiori, the NBA's director of sports medicine.

I also hope. If in any case the virus spreads with more than 5-10 people around the bubble, I'm sure they'll move the start of the game next month again.

No, I don't think so.
It will be over once they mess it up. It is a chance, not a privilege.
If something goes south then it will be ended by the government to avoid more casualties.

He's back!

And I am backing them when the games resume,  I think he is good to go with that look, he looks very fit.

I'm surprised, he doesn't look skinny compared to the pictures that was previously posted.

They don't want to mess up on this and for sure they will implement more strict implementation regarding on health protocols and I believe Jukic will be back in action once he will be verified that his negative and he will finish the quarantine guidelines and also if there's no additional case will happen inside the league. Let see what's the latest updates by this.

Well then, hoping for the best. With the tight competition in the West, we don't want to see an incomplete Denver Nuggets lineup once the NBA resume.

And that's it, the feeling of facing a Covid-19 positive just last month. With that several and repetitive tests done to Jokic, I do hope the virus really leaves Jokic's premises lol.


Letter: It’s time to forgive Rudy Gobert

He might be the first one to be tested positive in the league but it doesn't mean he is the source.

Unfair if today, there are still people looking to him like that.

[Captain Corporate]

 I think as long as you are not seriously injured, players should be cleared to go into bubble as long as they test negative. I mean just today we learned that Westbrook tested positive right? He didn't went to bubble with rockets neither, so that means he would be staying outside. However as long as he clears in time before it starts or even after it starts, as long as he tests negative eventually and is better, he should be able to join the team, because he no longer has it and can't spread it.

 However even with that in mind, dude could still have hard time playing. This is something that risks your lungs and if you have a bit damaged or recovering lungs that means you are going to put overtime on your heart as well. I do not want anyone to have a heart attack on the court because they came back from virus recovery too quickly just to play. So maybe get them there but just for moral support and see how they are doing in small tiny practices first and always get their lungs and other stuff checked out to make sure they are not risking everything.

I was eager to see Nikola Jokic after his Covid-19 quarantine. He has gained some weight, I wish his health to be 100%.

NBA athletes need extreme protection to avoid becoming infected. In Florida there is a large outbreak of new positive cases of coronavirus every day.
Organizers must be very cautious for the season to end successfully. However you feel the thrill of waiting for the NBA games.

Good health not just for him but for everyone who is facing the same problem.

Oh yeah!
He made a bad choice and putting his teammates in danger but still, he is not the source.
Whoever it is, it was from the interview that happened.
I don't think no one should be blamed for passing this virus. Who knows if you have it already unless the symptoms will be revealed early.
We must help each other in this pandemic.

2 more weeks.
Everything must go smoothly.

I think everyone who watches the 2020 NBA Season feels that the Lakers will really take it all BUT for some reason, we know that the underdogs or other teams are not gonna let that happen because everybody got their pride on the line. I still think that whatever comes in the way of Lakers, they will try to overcome the challenges and personally, I also wanted the Lakers to win a championship again.

Lets just hope that none of the players that will play through the New NBA season are healthy and well.

Lakers is no doubt the best team in the NBA right now, although they didn't hold the best record in the NBA in overall but Lebron is a proven champion, plus they have Davis who had a playoff experience and very hungry to win a championships.

In sportsbook they are the favorites so they might likely win, but you are right, there are underdog that could give a surprise, like the NUggets or the Clipperes.

When they are healthy they can give the best entertain to us, so I am also hoping for that.

They are, and what I like with Lebron James now is that the Lakers has a great chemistry and Lebron does not need to do it alone this time unlike in the past that he usually carry the team to win, he got Davis on his side who is a dominant big man, this man can dropped 20 to 30 points, depending on the need, so they really are a threat. I feel that the competition this playoffs and in the NBA finals is better compared to the previous.

No doubt for Davis and Lebron, they are a class A superstars, I don't even see a single game where they struggle, we can really rely on them and I understand if majority would bet on the Lakers to win because they are just so good this season.

Bucks on the other hand had the best record but it seems like their loss last playoffs was still fresh in the mind of the fans,  Giannis needs to prove he can also dominate in the playoffs to gain the trust back, personally, I'm not backing the bucks to win, even in the East.

Lakers is so strong when Lebron and Davis is inside the court but? the team stats slow down when they are setting down so I think for them to get the best record on next opening they should get a good 2nd squad so that whenever lebron and davis is at rest they can rely on their second men on the court. I think they need to let go of some of their players so that they can accumulate a more stronger player on next season.

Right now it's a game of those who have a good roster team and mostly that will be the case but overall it is a team effort. Lakers is for sure has the best roster right now knowing how healthy Davis, LBJ, and the twin towers McGee and Howard to say the least. With the strict compliance on NBA by now, I think those that will able to play is for sure healthy.

Bucks on the other hand had the best record but it seems like their loss last playoffs was still fresh in the mind of the fans,  Giannis needs to prove he can also dominate in the playoffs to gain the trust back, personally, I'm not backing the bucks to win, even in the East.

The only thing that can dominate them on the East is I think the Heat with Adebayo, Butler and Igoudala and they have 2-0 against the Bucks though Adebayo wasn't still on the bubble at Orlando.

Probably, but playoffs is a different thing, while Heat have dominated the Bucks, they also struggle against other teams in the East.
With the rank of the Bucks now, they would not meet in the first round but possible they would in the 2nd round, that if the Heat will be able to beat their first round opponent. Hopefully all the key players of the Heat will be fully healthy during the playoffs so we can see some very competitive series.

Also, let's consider the adjustment, there's no home court edge here as they are playing in Orlando.

I was eager to see Nikola Jokic after his Covid-19 quarantine. He has gained some weight, I wish his health to be 100%.

Same here, his old picture was criticize by some people but he looks good with the new one, it look like he really gained some weight.
Nikola Jokic has to be healthy, good thing he is back now and he can play when the NBA will resume, their playoffs experience might become a key for their success this season, and they are one of the underrated team that we can trust to at least give some kind of thrill whoever teams they will face.

At this point in time, 2 weeks before the resumption of NBA games even 1 case is crucial but with the case of Jukic where he tested negative just one week after the announcement that he had the virus, i think those who tested positive could still make it. Hope that the NBA will strictly implement protocols so that this resumption will go on as plan.

I really hope that this upcoming games are not suspended and they will continue as they have announced its schedule. anyway, those who cannot play will have a chance cheering for their team at their respected homes. This game should not be delayed anymore because they need to end this season as soon as possible. However, they need to be careful and not to end up being infected by the virus. so the season will gonna end up smoothly.

Suspension will not happen, they can still handle the situation and they have spent time, effort, and money to get into this phase and after this phase will be the NBA season resumption, so just be positive, the NBA season will resume.

They are learning from their mistakes, as we can read on the news, they are now putting some measures to ensure no violation will be committed again as that would result to a possible spread of the virus.

They are losing millions of dollars and they again spent millions of dollars for this preparation, I don't see the words "FAILED TO RESUME".

[Pamadar]

It won't be an easy ride for Lakers as there are still teams that will try to their way to also win the title.

I still think that whatever comes in the way of Lakers, they will try to overcome the challenges and personally, I also wanted the Lakers to win a championship again.

It's  a great tribute to Kobe if they will win this one for him, and for sure aside from that reason, LeBron also
wanted to add more ring from his back while he still have this opportunity.

Lets just hope that none of the players that will play through the New NBA season are healthy and well.

Good point, lets all pray for them to be well safe while competing once the league start to resume back.
Excited to see what will be those adjustments and surprises
from each teams.

Woo, why some of them making the situation worse and don't just abide the simple rules given to them?
 

My point.
You hed been given a chance. Why waste it?
Its not like prison. You still have the alternative to pick what you want
Why go so far for deliveries?
Are you not that comfortable with what they give?
Is it something your stomach cannot take in?
Isn't it better than not having a job? Which most people are longing for.

Only him can answer that. Well, if I'm the athlete, I wouldn't put others in danger by going outside. Yes, that's the others and not myself because I'm putting them at risk by violating the rules but anyway that's not me.

I think being a security staff, they are also fan of the players so they just allowed it to happen as a favor given to their idol.

I don't think they have to do that besides they are paid to do their jobs rightfully and if the higher-ups told them what their jobs are then they should have abode on it, they should set aside idolizing for a moment than breaking the protocols because they may be sanctioned as well.

I just can't remove that mindset because even if they're just going their job, a fan will always be fan even if you're not facing your idol but if you're facing one of them, you'll admire and feel the need to do him a favor.

Woo, why some of them making the situation worse and don't just abide the simple rules given to them?
 

They take the situation lightly. They think a "simple" task won't hurt at all.

So unfair to those who are following the rule. Hopefully, that would be the last.

Exactly. Unfair indeed.
