naw it will. the nba is still going dramatically better than the nfl, mlb, and college seasons....
while i wish they'd go back to bubble ball, they're not stopping. everyone knew the nba season would get bumpy eventually.

The difference with the NFL and MLB though is the roster sizes. Sure there are situations like the Broncos with their QB’s and the Saints with their RB’s, but for most part it’s been easily manageable for teams when a player has tested positive.
But if 5 dudes from an NBA team get locked down that could be your starting 5 and would be 1/3 of your roster.
Plus with the condensed NBA season missing 10 days can mean 8 games, not just 1 or 2 like the NFL.

Yeah, it's pretty scary. The Hornets, like everyone else, are playing four times a week. Even though they have a young roster, a lot of these guys injured are early in their careers.

Another reason I'm fine with Melo staying on the bench and playing less than 30 mpg. Even when he does start I want to keep his minutes down.

i'm totally down with having a rotation in which nobody even plays over 30 min.
we have more than enough ok players to make that work when guys are all healthy.
Graham (30) / Monk (18)
Terry (30) / Melo (18)
Hayward (30) / Melo (12) / Martin (6)
PJ (18) / Miles (30)
Zeller (24) / Biz (12) / PJ (12)
Devonte', Melo, Terry, Hayward, PJ, Miles all play 30 min, Cody plays 24, Monk 18, Biz 12, one Martin twin fills in for any remaining SG/SF minutes

I know I was super down on the OG signing. Hit only 14/51 threes so far good for 27.5%. Surprising he is hitting nearly 41% of his attempts from the corner? If I am doing the math right he has 22 corner threes and made 9 of them? meaning he is shooting 5/29 on all other threes good for 17%. Yikes. Oh and all 14 threes he has made this year have been assisted.
Nothing like paying a guy 72 Million dollars to not be able to shoot off the dribble.
