He's becoming an undersized 2guard overnight.

I knew just knew that Lance was gonna be a Net.

If Westbrook has it, its possible Kevin Hart has it too. That's his workout partner.

This bubble looks pretty pointless right now. I have no idea what to think about this whole Covid situation anymore. They tried all they could to take precautions in this bubble and people are still testing positive, so where does that leave us as a nation? This doesn't make sense anymore.

I'm tired of this weirdness, just want things to get back to normal, whatever normal was before all this.

i don't think anyone has tested positive in the bubble yet. westbrook and harden haven't arrived yet and they probably got it out and about there normal lives.

this thing is still not happening for 2 weeks and most teams don't care about the games before the playoffs anyway. there is no more home court. only the 4 teams trying to get the 8th spot out west care.

those guys are probably happy not to have to go into the bubble until the games start anyway.

Confused by this report

[quote]The NBA announced they have had two players test positive for COVID-19 since entering the bubble. The league has tested 322 players.

Wasn't talking about any specific players, not sure who the wiretap was referring to with the two players but apparently they were in the bubble and got sent home.

Weird times man

probably but the only thing that really could detroy the bubble is that if people contract it inside the bubble and it mass spreads. Right now for the most part its going pretty smothly and there is no rush for guys to get back for the regular season other than to get a game or 2 in to ramp up for the playoffs.

"Those players never cleared quarantine and have since left the Campus to isolate at home or in isolation housing," the NBA said in a statement.

from what I understand is they traveled to Orlando but never made it past quaruntine and were sent home to isolate and be re tested in 2 weeks.

I think the first threat was Rachaun Holmes who got food delivered and went outside the hotel to get it....those are the type of stuff that could eventually destroy the bubble if players don't play it safe and follow the rules.

Everybody's so busy admiring LeBron, but I just thought (which is no secret of course):

Wow, what if Kawhi won it this year right away, his first attempt with the Clippers..........?

I really think these players testing positive for corona have been the careless ones.

Training with people around them with no masks or just hanging out not following protocol.

I'm just now discovering the JJ Redick podcast on The Ringer (yes I'm way behind the curve). This Jimmy Butler interview is really well done, I had no idea Jimmy was such an interesting character. How do I get on that PJ with him to Burgundy?

I lost some respect for him and some other players due to that nonsense showboating with the red wine. It was something like:

JJ: "What kind of wine did you bring?"
Butler: "Oh I don't even know, but I want to learn more about extremely expensive wine."

That's pathetic man. Do they even know who/where/what Bordeaux is?
