Talkin ‘Bout Practice 2
Per Trudell
Anthony Davis, on a Zoom call right now, said the first practice in Orlando went well, that it’s just good to get back onto the court. They’re getting tested every day, and everything has been standard. Practice aside, he’s mostly been playing video games in his room thus far.

AD on what needs to come along in the next several days: “Just getting our chemistry again. We were on a great roll. (And) getting Dion and JR adjusted to our team, trying to rebuild or system and our chemistry again."

People are also speculating that Harden might also have it since he hasn't traveled to Orlando yet |

Sacto Kings Center In Trouble With His Moms
I just thought this was sweet
Per Dr. Holmes
You only cross the line for your MOMA’s COOKING! AND I WAS NOT IN FLORIDA SIR!! #lol @Rich_Holmes22. Love you baby!
https://twitter.com/drlydecia/status/1282784549907431427?s=21
And then Pincus clarified (I was curious because I would have thought leaving would be against the rules but nope)
Per Pincus
My read on the rules, Richaun voluntarily left the bubble, which is allowed. To get back in is a 10-14 day quarantine - docked salary only if he misses games (1/92.6th per game lost, max 14). Also, testing is more intense, deep nasal swab on re-entry. Probably not worth the grub

Social Service - The Only Acceptable Reason to Partner With The Clippers
Per Goon
The 11 pro sports teams in Los Angeles have announced a partnership called "The Alliance"
"The 11 teams have united to address racial injustice, develop educational opportunities, and support other important issues facing communities of color, particularly Black communities."
https://twitter.com/kylegoon/status/1283063618993520641?s=21
A news release for the Alliance says the teams, which include the Lakers and Clippers, will partner with the Play Equity Fund in LA County and Accelerate Change Together Anaheim in Orange County.

This restart is dumb. Florida is now the worst state in the country for the coronavirus. The Lakers and Bucks got screwed out of having a true home-court advantage for the playoffs. If any team wins the championship other than the Lakers or Bucks it's not legit in my opinion. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

Scto Kings Have More ‘Rona Problems
Per McTen (link to fall ESPN story at Twitter link)
Harrison Barnes announced he tested positive for COVID-19, making him the 4th Sacramento player to have it. That, combined with Richaun Holmes accidentally breaking the bubble, has led to an uneasy time for the Kings in Orlando so far. ESPN story:

Shockingly, Players Are Breaking the Bubble Rules Already...
The Memes that are popping up in response to this tweet are worth looking at in and of themselves… lol
Per Shams
Multiple tips have been placed into the NBA’s anonymous hotline to report protocol violations on campus, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

So I take it you and the other detractors won't be watching then?
So what's the alternative? Just cancel it and not have a champion? They completed like 75% of the season so I get why they would want to attempt to finish it.
Especially when it's not guaranteed that next year will be back to normal either. |

It’s an invitational, some teams were invited and some weren’t. It is more like March Madness than the NBA playoffs. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |
