Life isn’t fair dude. It’s the harsh reality so stop complaining

What tripe is this? Do you even watch sports? Do you think it is anything resembling competitive games to have a team with FIFTEEN players out be forced to keep playing games?

You’re right - my apologies. I keep reading this stuff and lashed out. My bad dude, it was inappropriate.

We've been wondering the same. Seems like there should be some coming off today, but .. aren't. No idea why.

And to folks thinking the Hawks are (for some reason) choosing not to postpone, why would they choose to simply lose games?

Some Bulls fan had the gall to suggest the team is just, I guess, forgetting to ask to postpone? I mean, really? This is clearly not in their hands. Bulls, and other teams, got lucky they were able to postpone games before the league woke up and realized maybe they should do something or all games will be done.

And, yes, Hawks fans are incessantly complaining because .... I mean we had some dude literally named Cat Barber runnin' the point last night. I'd say we got a right to be a little perturbed. :wink:

So if Kyrie has cleared, is there any indication when his first game will be? I'm looking forward to seeing him play again

The magic had a replacement player yanked in the second half. There's about to be a bunch more players out soon. At this rate, how many weeks until everyone in the NBA gets infected by omicron?

Lol so the NFL is going to rely on the honor system of players reporting symptoms, despite them having an incentive to lie about symptoms and play. I don’t see this ending poorly at all….

My guess is January 5th.

Bradley Beal got the vax. There was an upcoming mandate in DC for indoor entertainment venues and he caved, had no interest in being banned from home games like Irving

This is why Hawks fans are frustrated. Trae, Cam and Capela are the only NBA rotation players available the rest are 10-Dayers, but are still required to play. Meanwhile:

This is some bull-a** sh*t and the league knows it. Screw Adam Sliver. You can dig up David Stern and he'd do a better job with this league.

Heat-Spurs is postponed because Heat don't have enough players? Sign a bunch of 10-day players like every other team has had to do. Wtf league. This season is lame.

I'd be fine with trotting out there with a bunch-a randos ... if everybody had to do it. But, as has been the case for months, it's selectively enforced. They're not even tryna hide it anymore.

So the Heat/Spurs game gets to be postponed but the Hawks have to put out an All Scrub roster with only THREE rotational players? FIFTEEN players out and we have to play? **** Adam Silver. This is blatant favoritism.
