Well, like it or not the NBA and Player's Association have passed their plan and schedule. Looks like it's a go.

With a month until games and roughly 2 weeks before teams fly in... things should get interesting.


Good news is the NBA as a whole league have half as many cases as a single college football team.

From what I understand they will be playing in empty arena's and you will have to watch on TV, so I don't really see any real boost to the economy except into the players and owners pockets

This late in the NBA game it really is a non issue for me. Even the 60 game schedule for major league baseball in empty stadiums doesn't seem interesting

The country needs sports right now. Bring on some hoop!

Who cares ??

It's hunting and fishing season now...I honestly doubt I will watch. Basketball is to keep us sane during the winter haha

I don't know - seemed like a fitting topic for our "sports" category in the forum :mrgreen:

It'll be interesting to see how this whole thing plays out - I think it'll be the Lakers from the West and the Bucks from the East. Lakers in 6 to win the Finals. 'Bron gets another ring. Giannis leaves the Bucks for greener pastures.

I'll be watching at least until the Jazz win it all or are eliminated. Go Jazz! It's gonna be tough with out Bogdanovic, though.

Speaking of sports, I'm still kinda mad they cancelled Wimbledon. If there ever was a sport to play during a pandemic, it's tennis. The ratings would be through the roof being the only event on TV. If you're that worried, play with a brand new ball every serve.

Who cares ??

Millions of people around the world. And quite a few of us on this forum.

Anyone that does not like sports certainly does not have to venture into the "sports" section on this forum.

The NBA for me is not entertaining until the playoffs. Playoff basketball is generally good basketball, so I'll tune in when I can.

players are popping positive all over. This is going to be a circus. After sleeping on it, I've change my mind and actually agree with Vanilla about playoff basketball being entertaining -- this year, it certainly is going to be as entertaining as a circus! This is going to be great!

I have to admit that I could definitely go for some NBA action now and hope they can pull it off. The Florida statistics don't look that great though.

I don't have a ton of optimism with the Jazz making a deep run, but since our stars already have had covid, maybe we will have a "herd health" advantage with our team if the virus does afflict more teams.

 

[PBH]

I don't even care about the games themselves. I just want to watch everything else that happens -- the video game parties, lobby "fights" (ie: shoving match), groupies sneaking in, COVID outbreaks....

...circus indeed!

I realize the Jazz have not given you much to be excited about with playoff basketball for many years now, but you'll enjoy it if you watch.

Have you forgotten about OKC? The Clippers?

the Jazz have provided some very good playoff basketball in recent years (just not vs. Houston).

I guess I'm just not all that excited about this upcoming tournament. Who knows? Maybe it will be better than expected. March madness style?

They'd never do it because of the money they'd lose, but going to a full best of 3 in every series would be fun for this one.

"My confidence ain't great," Lillard said with a laugh Wednesday. "My confidence ain't great because you're telling me you're gonna have 22 teams full of players following all the rules? When we have 100 percent freedom, everybody don't follow all the rules. I don't have much confidence...

As time goes on, I'm looking more and more forward to this NBA reboot! This is going to be the best soap opera since Days of Our Lives!

Why am I not surprised that you sat down and watched "Days of Our Lives"????

It was better than General Hospital.
