2024 NBA Season

[stomachgrowls]

That was the best game of his career, I think there was no porzingis at that time, I check the box scored I did not see his name.
I haven't watch that game but I'd be interested to watch the replay now that we are lock down at home, thanks for bringing that here, I'll check how he did that.

You certainly would enjoy it. Yeah, there is no Porzingis at that day, which Rick Carlisle unleashed him to the bench and puts up a show that gave a smile to the fans that are watching, despite the terrifying COVID-19 update that is happening. It might be Marjanovic is there key weapon in playoffs, that's why they don't often use him at the regular season.

I would still not expect too much about him, his size is his advantage but it could be a disadvantage as well as he is slow, their opponent might be playing small like the Rockets who are still doing it until now. One game is not enough, we have to see some consistency here, we might know it when the NBA season comes back.

He's just tall imho but when it comes to mobility then i would also have doubt on that. 3's percentage isnt bad though but this tall guy can really do his job under the ring but i dont see for him to be the secret weapon of some sort for Dallas.Also the good transition or passes of Luka does really count and so as with other team members.Just amazed for him to have that 17reb and career high point.

What about his buddy Rudy Gober, do we also have an update regarding his status?

Rudy Gobert posted a video yesterday.

Let's see how this virus affects people because I've heard to one of my countrymen that lives in china and being lockdown there for a whole month that sometimes it takes 3 weeks or 1 month for the virus reflect, show some symptoms and health problem. Doesn't matter if it's true or not, hopefully, there is no bad things would happen to all affected.

Yes, because that is the maturity of the virus to make its full effect.
It may be near maturity if you are already having a fever.

Even this athletes can take the bad effect of it.
Examples are family histories of bad sickness. Hereditary ones which may not be seen when you are still young.
Those are the most targeted of this virus which is not easy to prevent. You will just die without knowing that certain point of sickness is attacked.

Yet, look at this guy.

I don't know if I will laugh or what.

Meanwhile: WHO considers ‘airborne precautions’ for medical staff after study shows coronavirus can survive in air

World health officials say the respiratory disease spreads through human-to-human contact, droplets carried through sneezing and coughing as well as germs left on inanimate objects. The coronavirus can go airborne, staying suspended in the air depending on factors such as heat and humidity, they said. Source

Terrifying...

He does have a point though.

[el kaka22]

Euro 2020 just cancelled until next year, anyone still thinks this season will come back? I see absolutely zero chance we are going to have an NBA season where there is a virus going around killing people and infecting them very easily by as simple as hand shake and 20k+ people will be in the same place for it. No way we can get something like that any time soon at all, the closes is literally next season unless NBA wants to tie end of this season to start of next season and even that's doubtful.

Let's hope that 2021 season will be fine because by the looks of it thousands of people are dying, hundreds die every single day, if this speed continues there is a huge chance we will start to see a million infected one day, sure we did all we can but that risk still continues.

Donovan Mitchell is feeling great.
It may really not affect on them since they are all healthy athletic people.

https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1239549150729035776

Well, it is in the statistics that only those who are old and already have compromised health before COVID-19 dies. So, healthy players like Mitchell and Gobert will survive this. We do not have to worry about them. We should worry about the people they got in contact with. Most of them are not as healthy as these athletes.

[Captain Corporate]

 No way they are coming back, people are dying right now, who cares about NBA, even if NBA wanted to comeback many players will want to just stay at home, lets face it guys, this season is over. We had years when the game count was low like lockout years but it was reverse, it didn't play the early days but than played later on, this is the reverse, we had teams playing 60 or whatever games and thats it, they won't play the rest of the season.

 If for some miracle NBA comes back because corona is no longer a trouble in the next one month, that would be shock to whole world. How are we going to figure out a treatment for something in the next month and release to everyone and save all humanity all that quickly? I mean this is a cure, it could be find tomorrow or a year from now, thats not the point but finding the cure is not enough, you have to also cure people with it as well.

 Nba is gone this year, we just have to accept it.

[harizen]

Even if they find a cure right now, it will still take time to mass-produce and distribute it. It will really take time before the world will be back to normal.

But at least this will add confidence to people to go out because they are certain they'll not get infected again.

Even for let's say there's a cure that made right now, it won't give confidence to people to go out. The vaccine might kill the virus but it will not give an assurance that it also has a sort of immunity boost against it. It needs lots of time for a cure + immunity to be made. Therefore, being re-infected is always possible even they find a cure right now. Like I said in another thread, the term "Pandemic" is the highest level of spread meaning being infected has a high chance to happen even just for a few seconds of being close to the infected ones.

NBA is done this season. The number of virus-related concerns is still growing. Even all NBA players, staff or should I say, the whole USA will be a virus-free country this month or two, I think no one will have the guts to play alongside those reportedly infected players. The worries are always there. Not a disrespect but they just want to be safe.

Kevin Durant is reported to be amongst four players from the Brooklyn Nets to test positive for Covid-19, according to @SpectatorIndex which happens to be a trusted news source (for me), tweeted. The source also claimed that KD's feeling great despite testing positive to the pandemic.

I did have the same impressions when i do able to see such news on Facebook about Durant being positive with Covid. Now the problem would be much worst
yet they would start to isolate or quarantine to those people who had been with him for past weeks for sure.

This problem is becoming worst as day passed by there are lots of people getting infected and it would surely takes time for NBA to resume out the season.
Actually my body is really missing out to see great games.

Get safe everyone!

We do not have to worry about them. We should worry about the people they got in contact with. Most of them are not as healthy as these athletes.

Sad to say but since they've got this virus the chance of spreading it up without any knowledge is high. Those people who interact with them for the last few days before they've been diagnosed are also prone to have the same issue. Senior citizens and those who have previous cases being hospitalized that's related to this symptoms are needed to look upon.
Hopefully they'll got the chance to detect them before the spread out will be more wider.

I have read many fake news on the social media that's why I want to clarify it first.

But, this is serious and real when I've seen several articles written just a few minutes ago after I was able to see the news about KD. I really wish that this disease will vanish as soon as possible.

Oh my! How could that happen?
He is in healing process so how could he interact with his team mates?
Are they still seeing each other after every game?
I thought he was like in a healing ward where he is the only one there or those who are helping him heal.

"All players and members of the Nets travel party are being asked to remain isolated, closely monitor their health and maintain constant communication with team medical staff. The health of our players and staff is of the highest priority to the organization and the team is doing everything within its power to ensure that those affected receive the best care possible.”

Is he travelling with them despite that injury? Of all the players Durant is the one whom I don't really expect to have this.

Durant can already play, I already see some post online that he is already practicing games and i saw him in one of the nets games that he is with the team  although he was not playing, Durant is alright now, he can walk and he can mingle with friends but not yet available to play.

Here's a video that we can see he is already practicing.

I saw the news this morning and that was some sad news right there, hopefully he can get through it and we can see him playing basketball again. I wonder what was the update of Gobert, did he already recover or not. Some other teams are going into the ConVId-19 test as well, let's hope that no other player will get affected by this deadly virus anymore.

NBA players who are infected are star players on their team and I think they will be well taken cared of so I don't think Durant won't be able to recover on this. We've seen yesterday about the video of Mithchell sharing what he is feeling and Durant also does not have the symptoms, so they are strong enough to fight this virus in them, but this is yet alarming since it shows us how fast anyone can be infected, we are fighting an invisible enemy here.

Exactly, so it's clear even if you are physically fit, you'll get infected but the pros of it is you have a higher chance of recovering. Since they have no symptoms, they will likely recover. I won't be surprise if the season won't resume within a month. It would be better not to since there's no vaccine yet and to prevent the cases in escalating as soon as possible. Safety first before anything else.

That's the thing, they can't compromise the people around them, of course if the season will resume, there will be fans and then the virus could easily spread, and not everyone has good immune system, some are weak and we are putting their health at risk here, or could be their life.

[LogitechMouse]

Oh my! How could that happen?

The best answer for this I think is that maybe he interacted with someone who has the virus already but he doesn't know it. All of the states in US have cases already so.. probably that is how he got it

He is in healing process so how could he interact with his team mates?

Whenever there is a game, he is always there so there is an interaction that is happening and that maybe is how he got the virus.

Are they still seeing each other after every game?

Maybe yes, maybe no. I don't know personally but going outside is normal already for them. After every game, they will travel and they will interact with each other and probably that is how he got it.
After the tests that 4 of the players of Brooklyn Nets including Durant are positive, they will be testing Los Angeles Lakers roster because they are the last team who they faced. I hope that this virus will be controlled and cured in no time so that we can all watch NBA games again .
