Utah is the last team standing with no one in health and safety. Indiana and Phoenix just got players into protocols.

Must get his information from LeBron who said, Phoenix and GS are the only teams that don't have players missing.

Facts.

He probably thought that story would paint the NBA in a bad light. All it did was confirm, if true, his "friend's cousin" is a dbag.

My bad I overlooked Ayton just recently being put in protocols, but gtfo with those other names. Crowder is your 5th best player, McGee is a 16 mpg backup, Nader isn't a rotation player and Monty is a coach ffs

It is more than a little suspicious that teams like the Warriors and Suns don't have any real issues with covid so far. The Hawks still have 13 players out and only three actual NBA players ready to play tonight's game. Again.

It also literally proves that someone can enter the game if they test positive for Covid, as long as they are "vaccinated"...if this story is true at all.

Those teams have issues with the protocols. It's Utah that's squeaky clean as of this moment.

crowder is the closest thing we have to a starting 4, mcgee is a 6moty candidate who dropped 21/14 against Boston last time we played them. apparently losing all of our centers means we lack rim protection and defense in general, which plummeting from 2nd in drtg to 21st in the last 3 games. but herp derp that doesnt matter right?

and i'm thinking losing the guy who should have been coty last year is also a big deal.

at least pretend to know what you're talking about befire spewing that nonsense.

Hawks just got unlucky. They have alot of guys that are missing 10+ Days while other teams have players test out early.

For example Lakers were down like 10 guys also at one point but most only missed a couple games because they all tested out early.

Reinforcements on the way for the Hawks, but Coach will be out. Still missing: Collins, Bogi, Dieng and Johnson.

We still are missing three starters and our backup center.

NBA lowered the CT thresholds for the PCR tests to 30 from 35 to return to play from isolation, a welcome step. Mind you, the difference between a CT threshold of 35 and 30 is not 5 but 32-fold (2^5). For some reference: "A test that registers a positive result after 12 rounds, for a CT value of 12, starts out with more than 10 million times as much viral genetic material as a sample with a CT value of 35." (from this article: https://www.science.org/content/article/one-number-could-help-reveal-how-infectious-covid-19-patient-should-test-results)

At high CT thresholds, even dead fragments of the virus can trigger a positive result, even though the individual isn't infectious. Glad to see some sanity gradually return.

Warriors have no Covid issues, you serious? Draymond Green out right now, also missed time were Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole, Damion Lee, Moses Moody, and 4 assistant coaches. James Wiseman also had to halt his rehab because of it. They've lost 2 games they probably would have won without Covid (Toronto, Denver). Warriors not the hardest hit of all the teams in the league, but they've definitely been affected pretty significantly.

Much more fun if it can be spun into a conspiracy. The Suns have had significant players out too. Only Utah has escaped relatively unscathed--they must be cheating! :roll:
