Scottie Pippen thinks the Raptors are primed to be Finals bound again because of their Championship swagger. They looked locked in, compared to other teams.

1000% biggest oversight.

What's the use of having wrist bands, caterers knocking on hotel doors then leaving food and running away, or even 100 rules regarding infection control?

They got people coming in and out in Florida of all places. Extremely stupid oversight.

Not sure how many footy fans there are here - and MLS ones as that - but as a huge TFC supporter, I tuned in for a bit of the ORL/Inter Miami match last night. First mens North American team sports league to restart. The thing that caught my eye was the show of solidarity with the BLM movement. Powerful stuff to me, I'm sure whatever the NBA does will also be just as powerful.

Woke up this morning to catch tfc's opening match only to find out its been postponed due to a potential positive test. Just a sign of the times but also a reminder that anything can happen and throw games in any of the sports trying to restart for a loop.

So that's what? Four days into the bubble and we got a player breaking quarantine? Not a good sign.

These quarantine punishments just reads to me like ‘Player x has been sent to his room and has been grounded for a week’

Next week: Lou Williams broke quarantine when he snuck in twins for a threesome.

I'd like to believe he's had it prior to signing and is now using it as en excuse to get out of training camp.

Yeah, I hope he is one of the two positive tests the NBA reported that occurred in Orlando but before players left quarantine. But he also was in that video not too long ago putting on a show in a gym and yelling right into people’s faces about it. You could practically see the droplets flying. One of those faces was Rondae’s

Rondae getting dropped by Beasley.

Sadly the only thing I take from this video is I hope Beasley doesn’t have Covid, spraying his droplets all over the gym like that.

He probably didn’t have it at this point because he’d likely be negative by now but who knows with this virus. Either way, he wasn’t taking any precautions at all.

this is just not a bubble...I would have thought any delivery would not have been possible; so casual. They can just casually show up without being intercepted miles away from the players

It looks like the NHL has much better shot to pulling this off, who would have thought that like 6 weeks ago?!
