Time to form the bubble and play some basketball

That’s really the bottom line. If they were waiting for virus to go away, we wouldn’t have the NBA for a couple of years. The league, governors and players all say (bleep) no to that scenario.

Will the players maintain social distancing on the court? 6 feet apart.

James Harden will social distance on defense with or without covid-19.

After positive tests for the coronavirus within the traveling party headed to Orlando, the Denver Nuggets have closed team's practice facility for several days, sources tell ESPN. Facility was locked to players and staff starting Saturday, and could open again later this week.

Someone is going to test positive next season too. It’s inevitable.

Ultimately it comes down to finding a vaccine or treatment sooner rather than later.

What happens when a major star ends up with permanent loss of athletic ability due to coronavirus?

Good question and applies to all players and even coaches/team personnel. We would have to ask an expert. Is it one of those things we just don’t know until it happens?

Whether that’s a possibility or even happens, it can happen at any time.

This virus is not going away. The more and more I see, it’s going to remain permanently just like the flu.

Westbrooks's positive is irrelevant, the NBA had no responsability in it.

There should be a poll... Who will go down with Rona when the season starts?

Imagine Lebron, Leonard, Giannis all got it and had to sit out, setting the stage for a Houston-PhillY finals...

It wouldn't surprise me if something like this happened.

That's certainly possible. No one knows the long-term effect from even asymptomatic cases. It's not like NBA players have some special immunity the rest of us lack.

Maybe this wasn’t the best idea.

James Harden taking out covid bounties on Lebron and Kawhi. Isaiah Hartenstein could probably use a few million bucks before he goes back to Europe.

I’m beginning to think the best strategy for any team was probably to all catch the rona during the hiatus. Maybe that’s what the Lakers did in their “secret” practice.

There is going to be some sabotage attempts going around for sure.

Thats all Rondo had to do instead of faking an injury.
