In combination with socially distancing along the three-point arc on offense. They should be safe.
And Ayton socially distancing from the basket!

Hope they're getting in some film study.

As careful as they are, it is strange they didn't realize that there was something up with the Wizards.

Its ludicrous BW. multiple people on here (not me - but others) picked up on the pattern with the wizards and predicted what would happen. How can RealGM pundits be all over this and not the NBA? crazy.
As for your post a page or so back, here in Aus we have been testing people on day 2 and day 10-12 of their close contact and it seems plenty of people dont return a positive test on day 2 but are positive on day 10-12. We are very rigorous over here, so not sure if that same level of rigour is being used in the NBA process for testing... I doubt it as i recall seeing somewhere close contacts in the NBA only need to isolate for only 7 days? (i could be wrong though).
As for people being infected twice, heard nothing like that here, but have heard of a few cases where people who have had the virus a while ago still test positive months later for whatever reason, but they aren't "infected" in the general sense (not sure of the correct medical explanation there). Anyway, next few weeks of NBA will be interesting. Hoping we still get games.
Thons bad but so is Jones so sure why not.grumpysaddle wrote:Waive Damian Jones and pick up Thon Maker off waivers?
I dunno how waivers work at all, or much at all about Thon Maker TBH, but he's gotta be better than Jones.

Best solution that I think would work is what lilfishi mentioned yesterday or the day before. Bring Payne in way earlier in the 1st QTR and let him push the pace and play a more fast style offense.
Keep CP3’s minutes at like 25 mins a game during the reg season by bringing Payne in early in the 1st and 3rd QTRs.
Chris Paul’s style of play of being super slow pace is outdated in the NBA. The only time it’s used or needed is at the end of games and we can just save his legs for that time. The final 6 mins or so should be when we play the slow style of basketball, other times we should be pushing the ball imo.

Wonder when we play again and with how many.

Too bad there's no way they'd take on his $44m for next season.

I do expect the chemistry to improve, but it had gotten so good with the right lineups that's is disappointing. Miyagi right so far.
