Haven't been posting much because the moment the league went on hiatus I was 100% convinced that was it for the year, so my head went elsewhere.

Still don't want to get my hopes up because I'm still not convinced this is actually going to happen. Feel like any day now a couple big-name players are going to test positive and that'll be it.

I'm kind of hoping it doesn't push through as well, more because I'm scared our players might suffer freak injuries because of the loooong layoff.

But it looks like all systems go for the resumption of this season. If anything, I'm banking on it being cancelled midway, when there's an outbreak inside that decimates most of the teams and forces a shutdown.

Honestly, I agree regarding the injuries. I dunno if this will go through either. But I do understand the league, they are trying to salvage money, they have lost a lot and it will eventually affect the players as we spoke. If it goes through, it'd be a huge success.

Wow.
I wonder if they'll fire him. He could easily get a gig somewhere else.

So why exactly did Woj get suspended? Heard something about a senator but no idea what happened?

He tweeted F**k You to the senator, who was attacking the Black Lives Matter movement. So how long is the suspension? A week? Indefinite?

There are plenty of other outlets that would love to have Woj.

Will read later. Weird random maybe-unrelated factoid -- the Stevens-era Celtics have always been in the top 7 in opponent 3FG% (4th, 7th, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 4th, 5th).
