NBA Thread 2019-20

[The Sultan]

down by 7 in OT, he just scored the bucks last 9 to hold on for the win.  no letting up in these guys-goin for the gold!

Slight correction. They were never down 7 in OT. They were down four.

But Beal was incredible. Something like 108 points in two nights.

Now they are at Toronto tonight.

Maybe Jimmy should've played with the 3rd stringers tonight against the Wolves, ai'na?

He seemed to do fine tonight, along with Jae, leading scorers again the Bucks. Let's go heat! ai'na?

Teams know there is really only one way to beat the Bucks - make around 50% of 3-pointers.

Doesn't hurt that the Heat held the Bucks to around 20% of 3 pointers in both wins.

Commissioner expected to announce all NBA games will be played in empty arenas tomorrow.

This would be the year Milwaukee gets a championship. When no fans can be in attendance and they can't have a parade to celebrate it.

My guess is that things normalize by that point.  But who knows?

I do agree and hope that is the case. Just would be the most Milwaukee professional sports thing ever if that was the case. At least in my lifetime.

Gobert fell ill before the game in OKC and they decided to postpone.

I think a hiatus just became a much bigger possibility.

Rudy Gobert got coronavirus and the NBA season is now suspended indefinitely.

[The Sultan]

And they just announced it. Wonder if the NCAA will follow.

What a clown.

Well lets pray he wasn't contagious when he touched every mic and recorder in the room. 2-days ago. Incubation period is 5 days. Unless his incubation period was exceptionally short, he was infectious.

What a clown.

It was nice of him to thoroughly document his criminal negligence.

I'll go on the record as saying its time.  You can't cancel the the NBA season, with a minimum salary of over half a million dollars per season, and keep marching college players out there.

[CreightonWarrior]

Honestly couldn't have come at a better time for the Bucks.

[GB Warrior]

They're going to cancel the season as a ploy to deny Giannis a championship and get him to the Lakers.

[Jockey]

Rudy Gobert got coronavirus and the NBA season is now suspended indefinitely.

I hope Rudy recovers and is OK soon. But,...

If any NBA player "deserves" to be infected, it is Rudy. I guessing that he won't be calling it a hoax any more.

Playoffs are set to start 4/18.

5.5 and 3.5 game gap between 8 and 9 seeds.

I wonder if they call it a regular season and pick it up in a month, if conditions allow.

Mark Cuban says he's going to put a program in place to take care of Mavericks concession workers and others making hourly pay who will lose work time due to NBA coronavirus shutdown

That was my thought, as well - if it is contained by then.

ha, on 4/18 we won't be thinking about basektball at all.

Right. We'll all be dead.

China's professional basketball league is in the process of starting up again.  It will have been shut down for about 10 weeks.  If it is the same with the NBA, that puts the start in late May.

[wadesworld]

Woj reporting that Donovan Mitchell has tested positive for the coronavirus.  Apparently (no surprise given how he handled his media session) he has been careless in the locker room and touching other players' belongings.
