Oso planning to go pro
@SBondyNYDN: In a recent chat group with Nets players, Kyrie Irving lobbied for skipping the bubble, the Daily News has learned. In that chat, he also proposed that the players can start their own league, according to a source. https://twitter.com/SBondyNYDN/status/1273023235362299904Honestly, could the NBAPA have picked two worse people to be out front on this than Kyrie and Dwight Howard?
Just have the series of Milwaukee vs Lakers and be done with it. I get Toronto or clippers might be upset but I mean come on.
Clippers >>>> Lakers.Also who knows how these teams look after 3+ months off.
Kyle Korver said he would support not playing too and he most certainly has something to play for. I just think many players have moved on from the season and don't want to be bottled up in Orlando for weeks. By the time they start playing, it will be four and a half months since the season was suspended.
We're going to see a flurry of positive cases. If the NBA can stomach those reports for a few weeks, once they're in the bubble things should smooth out.
I think this is all going to fail spectacularly in all sports and demonstrate exactly how extensively our governments mismanaged this
Define “fail spectacularly”. Not trying to be combative, I’m just curious what people are fearing. If the bubble is truly enforced and protocol is followed, i find it very hard to believe there is going to be scores of outbreaks across teams.
Agree. It will come down to how willing all players are to do what they’re supposed to do — including holding each other accountable.Though I do worry about some of the non-players/coaches who will be in the bubble — such as the huge TV crews that will be on site.
Nets' DeAndre Jordan Says He Tested Positive for COVID-19, Will Miss NBA RestartNets' Spencer Dinwiddie Tested Positive for COVID-19; NBA Restart Status UnclearHow many others will get it? What happens when a significant numbers of a team get it? I don't see this NBA season going well, if at all. I suspect that before the start, they pull the plug.
No one is stating the obvious: that Kyrie is deliberately infecting his teammates as a means to an end to get them to reject resuming play.
