Covid Outbreak with Chicago Bulls and League not doing anything? (Update: The league did something - pg 10)

[DroseReturnChi]

A lot of people in here have a hard time realizing that this is not about being fair in a basketball sense. They are simply trying to shut down a hot spot right now. 3 Bulls announcers now have COVID too. This isn't comparable Philly or Charlotte. The virus is ALL OVER the Bulls organization right now.

all excuses play 15 g leaguers then. if 30 teams gets covid, then are we going to stop season? can you fund me billion dollar to adam?
this is gross negligence by bulls for doing outside activities despite covid.

Of course it is….of course it is.

[Betta Bulleavit]

Just for reference, do you guys have any idea of how many players are suiting up with Covid right now without even knowing it??

The reason that Chicago and Charlotte are popping so many positives is because they entered a protocol that required everyone to be tested daily once guys started to test positive. However, other teams aren’t having to do that as long as they don’t have anyone test positive. But as soon as they do, you can bet they we are going to see at least a handful of other outbreaks similar too these. We’re only a quarter of the way through the season. Just keep that in mind.

Bulls should be forced to forfeit the game. Plain and simple.

man raps should sue bulls for preferential treatment. just forfeit rs games.

Lmao this guy is the best poster on the GB. Pure comedy.

why? they can just reschedule the game? raptors bulls is a good game, why would you not want to watch it ?

Of course I wanna see DeMar return home and play but I'm just pointing out the blatant hypocrisy by the league office. Raptors were forced to field a bunch of G-Leaguers in Tampa last season when their whole team was out due to COVID. Bulls should have to do the same.

Yea the 27-45 Raptors really got shafted playing a g league roster for a couple games. Oh wait.

[Rowland Garrett]

They should have to forfeit. Every other team being forced to play games with players on the covid list is disadvantaged now.

Yeah, this is bull. So can we redo the games we had to play with half a team? It was a friggin Bull that got us infected, what a joke

Nah, my theory is this is going to happen to every team. Guys out in protocol, no symptoms, feeling fine (Per Billy Donovan). Bulls will get their chances back when their team is healthy and the others lose 8-10 guys.

And Hornet fans. I feel your pain about playing the Bulls, but it was Embid and the Sixers that got the Bulls sick, who passed it to the Hornets...and more is to come.

[SlovenianDragon]

Looks like the bulls next game is postponded

edit: looks like this has been talked about but its hard reading thru all the other BS.

Raps had a rough start, but they were on a 15-9 stretch, hit covid protocols and immediately dropped 9 in a row.

Is clear as freaking day that the Bulls are getting preferential treatment the Raptors did last season with a very similar situation.

The Bulls were forced to play with a similar timeline as Raptors with players out, you would see a similar dropping games of five or seven games that they would lose.

It's a different year but the situations are damn similar. It's a difference between a big market team and the Raptors.

In hindsight im very happy about it, but Raptors goal that season was to compete

There aren't even 15 guys on g league squads lol also what exception/exemption are teams using to acquire 15 guys to expand their roster size to 32 guys? Never heard of any NBA roster being over 20 players.

You're taking this way too far. Perhaps the league is learning what to do in these situations? When every player and half the people associated with the team are testing positive for a prolonged period of time, it is in the best interest of the league to shut that team down and put out the fire.

Regardless of what they did with the Raps last season or Philly/Charlotte this season, if we agree that how they've handled this situation is the right way to handle it, then let it be. There is now precedent to do this right moving forward.

Aww nice try . Dropping 5 or 7 games?
It’s only a 2 game postponement !

And the Raptors weren’t singled out for not being big market. They are were a bottom feeder ,
17-26
And look at their roster during their Covid outbreak .

Pascal
Lowry
Powell
VanFleet
Stanley

You guys have practically all your starters . Your complaining some gleaguers on a bad team had Covid.

[bearadonisdna]

Btw your talking about last year . The bulls basically need to suspend basketball activities ain’t no huge conspiracy.

Go back and look at the month the raptors faced.

Thanks for playing. Better luck next time.

[chifan1798]

This is on the league, not the Bulls. They should have shut down the sixers back when they had their outbreak, because Embiid was the one responsible for infecting Vuc….now we have 10 players out due to COVID at the same time. I don’t think that has happened to any other team yet. While they have missed numerous players, it hasn’t been 10. Also keep in mind, at least one of the players called up from the G-league, caught the virus immediately from being around the teammates that hadn’t tested positive yet. In addition to the 10 players with just COVID, we are missing PWill, and Caruso probably needs to sit out too, but just played last game, because the team was so depleted. So basically, the Bulls are down 12…..TWELVE players at the same time (if they sit Caruso like they should). That is an entire game day roster. Clearly whatever variant they have, is highly contagious. If I were an opponent, I’d be nervous about catching it, and having to sit out games. It’s better to nip this in the bud now, to spare some other teams from having the same thing happen to them. Probably wouldn’t have happened to us or Charlotte, if they had just postponed the Sixers games early on in the season.

What does this even mean ?
Have the Raptors even had 1 guy that GB would recognize miss a game due to Covid?
With out checking I’m gonna say no .
