I highly doubt they'll be practicing at the same time for reasons other than the virus.
You would hope that is the case but you never now. I've attended conferences at these Disney hotels, they have plenty of space to space them out.

Well i think its more to the fact that teams dont want other teams to see their practices/plays rather than social distancing reasons.. ao yeah no way they agree to practice together

The best I can figure, this is the Nets' rotation:
Tyler Johnson/Chris Chiozza/Jeremiah Martin
Caris LeVert/Garrett Temple
Joe Harris/Justin Anderson
Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot/Rodions Kurucs
Jarrett Allen

That's only 10 players and will be a small-ball team.

More like:

Allen/Amir Johnson (rumored signing)
Kurucs/Justin Anderson
Joe Harris/Tim Luwawu-Cabarrot
Caris LeVert/Garrett Temple
Tyler Johnson/Chris Chiozza

The 7th seed is yours for the taking

Two weeks to our first scrimmage. Hopefully this bubble works. I'm running out of things to do as this thing drags on.

T Ross has a lot of videos up from inside.



Sounds like everyone has to quarantine in their own hotel room for 48 hours straight, food is delivered to their door, cannot go out of the room, then they're on the compound and free to move around.

With the Crawford signing, the Nets fans see their depth chart as:


Tyler Johnson/Jamal Crawford/Chris Chiozza
Caris LeVert/Tim Luwawu-Cabarrot
Joe Harris/Garrett Temple/Dzazan Musa
Rodi Kurucs/Justin Anderson
Jarrett Allen/Amir Johnson (rumored)



So: the Nets start a PG that was not a Net until he was signed on 24 Jun. A starting SG that is not a regular starter, a journeyman SG that will play a starting SF role, a SF-player and non-starter thrust to the starting PF role, and a below average starting C. Adding Crawford is nice (and good for him personally) but the rest of the bench is dreadful.

It's all about positioning!! LOL

Seriously though, would you rather face the bucks or just bow out quickly like what the Wiz seems to be doing?

If we fall out of the playoffs we get to keep our lottery pick so I would rather drop out lol
