I have read it somewhere that it is possible to continue this NBA season in a crowdless arena. I mean, they will play their remaining games minus the fans in the stadium.
Is this possible? What about the revenues or all other stuffs economic-wise?
Yeah there  have been a lot of rumors lately  regarding that possibility, and yes, there would be losses for all teams, especially those that will go into playoff, but what's the alternative? To not finish season at all and have even more losses? Then there is question of draft, next season etc..

With virus spreading throughout US rapidly, i don't think that it is reasonable to expect this season to finish in a regular way, with normal playoff in front of fans.  So only way to finish it and still get some money from sponsors are games behind closed doors. Yeah it would suck big time, for the owners of the teams, players and fans, but pro sport will have to adapt to this new situation, there is no other way. After all, games without fans is something that we got used to here in Europe, albeit for different reasons.

Choose playoff teams based on current standings, put them all in one location, isolate them from others, and let the show begin! There is no much sport activity around the world anyway, so view numbers  would go through the roof!

Regarding NBA pursuing a fan-less games, well it's a good plan, but I don't know if business owner are going to agree with that.

I have no idea what the NBA should do. But I know one thing, the NBA exists solely as a money-making machine. There's no point in playing games that don't generate profit.


Pay per view can still work if it is money they will need.
It is better than nothing right?

Anyways, even with the virus going on some people are still talking about money.
Gordon Hayward is being put in that rumors.
https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/celtics/nba-rumors-execs-expect-gordon-hayward-opt-34-million-celtics-contract

How about something to blow your mind?

Then back to the virus. Knick owner James Dolan.

I am okay with it, seeing them watch in a daily basis would certainly make the fans enjoy while they are at home, and since we are at home now, their revenue will certainly increase in terms of PPV, but let's see if this will be realize consider how bad the US hit by the COVID-19.

Healthy layers like them got a higher chance to recover from this virus, their physical activities plus the advantages of getting professional treatment from specialist adds the value.
It's good to see that more and more from this league are getting better, after this, they should focus taking more activities to strengthen their immune systems.

Doris Burke is the new name that got Corona, I am not entirely sure if she got it from anyone NBA related or not but this is the trouble with the virus, you could get it at anywhere at anytime and you would have no idea, you can just be walking down the street and some fans may want to get a selfie and you could basically get it right there and then. Hopefully she and all the other people will get better because it was first the basketball players who were young, now casters who are not so old but still older than players, next stop is literally coaches who are old and I do not want to hear Greg Poppovich has corona, I can't take that.

New York Knicks owner James Dolan has corona and he is about 60 or so, definitely above 60 if I am not wrong, I hate the dude but I hope he gets better as well, maybe realize life is too short and he only has like 20-30 years maximum even with the best medical attention, so he tours with his band and sells his team and lives a rockstar life or something and stops annoying NBA fans.

I see some interesting ideas there, especially the one called "Mid-range 3-point zone". It could definitely bring more variety, as I am sure that I'm not the only one who is kinda bored with all that 3 pts shooting. Yeah it was fun at the beginning when GSW started dominating that way, but after some time it made teams one dimensional, and as they pointed out in the article, it brought us to the situation where Rockets are having 45  three point attempts per game. With that being said, the other idea, "One 3-point foul shot for all three points" is also not bad. Introducing even one of these would be improvement.

With one idea I strongly disagree though, and that's to give automatic 2 free throws for so called Euro Foul. I really don't think that NBA has to remove another tactical and physical aspect of the game. NBA is already fast enough and at the moment some games in regular season look like exhibitions with no defense and all that three point shooting, and this would just make it even worse than it is already.

One thing that I would like to see changed and I didn't see in the article is to sort out traveling. Referees should really focus more on that and start calling them. I understand that they probably have instructions to let it go in order  for games to  be more spectacular, but in my opinion, it is getting out of hand for years now, and something like that would be good for the game. Maybe I'm just old an school type of fan,  but I miss defense aspect of the game.

Even though it's always about the bottom line for NBA, I strongly doubt the games will ever resume even with no crowd until there is a viable solution, vaccine perhaps. If there is some sort of containment, how then would they be sure of the players not being infected or what would be interval of players undergoing test again in cases of reinfection, as I don't presume being infected once would make immune to reinfection.


I would prefer changes to the number games played in the playoffs, best of 5 or 3, I'm even good with a single knockout match but, I'm not in support of changes to the current match rules, It will take more time for both referees and players to adapt to just so many changes.

Pay-per-view revenue for these NBA teams won't be enough aside from losing ticket sales they are also losing a lot of commercial revenue especially when the Play offs and NBA Finals come since this is one of their strongest peaks when it comes to revenue, why? Even if they have continued the games on an empty court there will be no commercial sales happening when a lot of their markets (countries) are on lockdown technically all of their NBA stores and affiliates will be close and won't be generating revenue for them. NBA teams and owners would likely push back the suspension even further until things clears up for them to generate revenue just to maybe break even from the losses they will have because of the pandemic.

They can continue the season but the question is when? Is the US already find the way to stop the pandemic and to put things in control again?
I think as long as people are still not safe outside, the NBA season will not resume its normal games, the idea that they will play in an empty court is just to continue the play and to cope up a bit on their schedule, that's what I understand.

Oh that is true. They might be wasting too much test kits for every game if they want players to just play the game.
I won't do that. There are still a lot of people who are in need of those kits. Specially the old and the sick.



I would prefer changes to the number games played in the playoffs, best of 5 or 3, I'm even good with a single knockout match but, I'm not in support of changes to the current match rules, It will take more time for both referees and players to adapt to just so many changes.
Same. That is just one ridiculous idea. No foul out? You won't like that kind of game.
They just need to shorten the game if possible so that they could still award a champion.

Hearing about Rudy Gobert getting better, Donovan Mitchell getting better and Marcus Smart getting better gives me a big hope, I am not saying it is recovering all around the world, Italy is still dying at a rate that is unprecedented and it is definitely at a level where even going outside for grocery became a life or death situation so I am not really undermining the situation. However, seeing these NBA players getting better tells me one important and very sad thing to me.

If the whole world was as ready as millionaires and famous celebrities, we would have a lot more people staying alive right now, most of the people who died probably died because they didn't had the access to healthcare as well as NBA players, remember Utah and OKC both used 50% available test kits for their teams when they got tested, now there is more tests available but they basically bought something very vital for the community and the future of some people because they had the money for it.

Hopefully, world will get more advanced technologically against corona and we will have much more tests and much more treatment methods soon so that less and less people die in the end.

In this battle, the poor countries will be affected much as they have poor medical treatment, the people who get the best treatment will be cured but its still possible that they will be infected again. Mitchell and Gobert has fully recovered because they are strong, have a good stamina, but there are people who are sick out their that will just die due to lack of treatment.

We all are hoping that the cure for everyone will be available we will be safe in the streets again and we can see this NBA season resume.

Looks like the Lakers will not name their 2 positive players which were diagnosed last March 19. Don't know the reason or maybe to prevent further panic and stress on these players but what do you think guys, is it necessary to name these players? For me, yes and no. YES, because teams must always be open to the public and NO because they assuring that they are following the protocol to contained these players.

Well then, hope like other NBA players, not just these Lakers peeps but all players/staffs/part of the organization that got infected with the virus will be cleared too.

If the whole world was as ready as millionaires and famous celebrities, we would have a lot more people staying alive right now, most of the people who died probably died because they didn't had the access to healthcare as well as NBA players, remember Utah and OKC both used 50% available test kits for their teams when they got tested, now there is more tests available but they basically bought something very vital for the community and the future of some people because they had the money for it.

That's the real world and no way it will be changed. But on the positive note, it does mean that this pandemic virus is curable even without the actual use of medicine against it. It will be more pain in the ass for an ordinary person if the virus will just only be killed by certain medicine.

I don’t think naming the 2 positive players is necessary, probably yes for the Lakers fans (KD had been positive but is now contained and no panic happen) or not because of the protocol. Surely, no one knows what is the reason behind of not Lakers naming the 2 positive players and they are only the one who can make the NBA community stop thinking about it lol.

KD can now play but the season has been stopped man Sad

Looks like the Lakers will not name their 2 positive players which were diagnosed last March 19. Don't know the reason or maybe to prevent further panic and stress on these players but what do you think guys, is it necessary to name these players? For me, yes and no. YES, because teams must always be open to the public and NO because they assuring that they are following the protocol to contained these players.

I don’t think naming the 2 positive players is necessary, probably yes for the Lakers fans (KD had been positive but is now contained and no panic happen) or not because of the protocol. Surely, no one knows what is the reason behind of not Lakers naming the 2 positive players and they are only the one who can make the NBA community stop thinking about it lol.
It's the discretion of the player I guess, you know when a person is positive with COVID-19, there are discrimination happening and that will affect their emotion and we know emotional stress could lead to unhealthy life and it's not helpful when you are trying to recover from this killer virus. 

KD can now play but the season has been stopped man Sad
Even if he fully cured but he was already shut down for the rest of the reason, so as with Irving I guess.

I know that feeling. Someone just got died close to our home because of the COVID-19. Neighbors now tend to discriminate the family because they are suspecting it as well as COVID-19 positive. Lots of unfortunate rumors for the family, you know...

Even if he fully cured but he was already shut down for the rest of the reason, so as with Irving I guess.

Yeah, but that’s a relief for Nets and KD fans.

KD can now play but the season has been stopped man Sad

Kevin Durant is out of the whole season so even the NBA didn't suspend the remaining games or basically the whole season, we will not see him in action.

He is expected to play next season that's why the time Nets decided to sign him, other analyst takes that as gambling as Durant will have a player option 2 years later. In other words, only one season is the assurance that Durant will play for the team and if it will not have good progress next season, it might affect Durant's decision in the future.

Definitely, but the fact that the Nets sign him despite knowing he is injured and has to rest for at least 1 long season, they believe that Durant will be back in shape and will bring success to the team, in fact they sign two injured players, so let's see if Durant and Irving could really bring the team to success when the season arrives that they can both play.

Looks like the Lakers will not name their 2 positive players which were diagnosed last March 19. Don't know the reason or maybe to prevent further panic and stress on these players but what do you think guys, is it necessary to name these players? For me, yes and no. YES, because teams must always be open to the public and NO because they assuring that they are following the protocol to contained these players.
As long as Lakers sorted all people that were in the direct contact with those 2 players, and if they are properly controlling them, I have no issues with them hiding that info from the public. Even though I don't see a reason to hide this, or to be ashamed, it is not those players fault, virus was given to them by someone else.

Now when I think of it, maybe naming those players would raise the awareness about the virus, like it happened when Gobert was tested positive. Until then, NBA leadership didn't care much about it, they were reluctant to take any precaution measures in fear of loosing profit,  but then overnight they paused the league an everyone was aware of the issue.

Transparency.
They really should. It ain't a shame but to save more people.
What if this 2 guys forgot where they had been while they are already carrying the virus.

If they will broadcast it there is a chance someone will remember they got near this two and save their lives when checked.
It is really that big of a company to cover this all.
Gobert, Mitchell and even the Knicks owner was revealed, so why not them? It's BS. Is one of them Lebron?  Grin
