NFL now being hit hard by COVID, is NBA getting another wave? 

Post#142 » by SkyHookFTW » Sat Dec 18, 2021 12:10 am

Three NFL teams, Washington, L.A., and Cleveland has 20+ players Covid positive, including the starting and backup QB's for Washington and Cleveland. The NFL has done something they said they wouldn't do: cancel/push back games.

Is this a sign of things to come for the NBA? Can the NBA keep playing games with only eight players anymore? At what point does the Commish look at the product and shut down for a week or two?

The Magic aren’t on any national televised games so it might as well be an out of sight out of mind thing for the league, especially with that team record.


Nets-Magic game tomorrow might be one of the worst games in NBA history

Starting to turn into another scuffed covid season. Incredibly frustrating for my fantasy team.

If there's teams I hope learns from this its the Suns and Trail Blazers who don't have G-League teams.

If they get struck there's nothing but the waiver wire to save them.

Miles McBride is in protocols too.. me and most Knick fans feel no reason to watch any of these games now that pretty much all of the promising young talent is sidelined with this bs now

Patiently waiting for the WHO or CDC to declare this thing endemic, offer us a yearly or biannual booster and tell everyone to move on with their lives. This ish clearly isn't gonna get eradicated like smallpox so what exactly is the endgame we're going for here?

The above is not a statement on efficacy of vaccines which has clearly been proven or a knock at current government covid protocols which have undoubtedly saved thousands of lives and eased the burden on the global hospital system.

Just sitting here stewing on the inevitable while miserably and hopelessly watching 20 players a day go down

Did the Nets know KD was gonna get Corona when calling up Kyrie?

And now Mobley is in covid protocol too. What a disaster this all is. NBA needs to make a decision. Either:

1. Cancel the season
2. Put everyone in a bubble
3. Decide everyone who’s vaxxed and asymptomatic can play, regardless of whether or not they test positive

This half measure **** is just leading to a worthless product being put out there where half the roster for each team isn’t playing on any given night.

And there it is lmao. Right on cue. Kyrie shows up to the Nets’ facility on his first day and gets Covid from his vaccinated teammates. Wild.
