Woo, why some of them making the situation worse and don't just abide the simple rules given to them?
 Huh

My point.
You hed been given a chance. Why waste it?
Its not like prison. You still have the alternative to pick what you want
Why go so far for deliveries?
Are you not that comfortable with what they give?
Is it something your stomach cannot take in?
Isn't it better than not having a job? Which most people are longing for.

 Huh

I also often ask myself this question.

Sometimes I justify this by the fact that there have always been people in the history of mankind who could not follow the rules and something terrible happened.
I don't even know. As for the delivery, it's possible about cravings and he wants to eat something new that's not being provided to them.

Woo, why some of them making the situation worse and don't just abide the simple rules given to them?
 Huh

We have the same question but this is a 2nd violation already listed, maybe let's ask the organizers, why would they allow a player to leave the venue?
I think that should be answered first, as these players before they travel to Orlando have gone in many tests just to insure their real status, but when they are already in the venue the weak security measures might ruined everything.
The security staffs that are on duty must be asked why did they allowed someone to get out while it's part of the rules that no one must go out. I think being a security staff, they are also fan of the players so they just allowed it to happen as a favor given to their idol.

Do you guys agree with this?

A Healthy Stephen Curry Is Still the NBA's Best Player

Quote
Stephen Curry is the best player in the NBA.

There. I said it.

Curry was left off Bleacher Report's top 100 players project because of his injury-plagued 2019-20 campaign. He might have been top-five if he didn't miss nearly the entire year, but he belongs at the very top of the list going into next season.

If Curry gets back in shape, will the GSW will become the best team in the NBA again?
I mean, if he is the best player, he can do that without Durant and just like the old days, the Warriors will always rule.

Thoughts on that.

It is really possible, they can regain their former glory. But without Durant this can be very difficult. One strong player is good, but a team is needed.

Warriors never just rely on Curry alone, they are good as a team, if some teams have a big three they also have a big 3 and that is Curry, Thompson, and Green. If you still remember, Warriors had a good run in the past which they finished the 2015-16 season with a big success making a history with a record of 73 wins, and they dominated the NBA that time, again, I like to emphasize that they have the success before Durant came.

Holmes is actually the second to do it.
Why they can't just discipline themselves just for now? It had not even taken a month and they are already like kids being hard-headed.
Worse, it's not like an emergency or a medical supply.

That is why there's a rule to follow and sanction to be given for those who violate the rules because by nature, there are really people who are good in not following the rules, but this should already caught the attention of everyone, and it will more if these two will be given a serious sanction.

There is another player that's in quarantine. Sacramento Kings' Holmes after picking up a delivery.

Kings' Richaun Holmes placed in quarantine after breaking NBA bubble for food delivery



What would be the sanction then?  Placing in quarantine is not enough, he has violated the rules so he needs to face a sanction as it's not good to tolerate this kind of behavior when the success of the return of the NBA is always at stake.
The first thing that was on my mind after reading it.
Are there no security guards there that will prevent this from happening again?
They should isolate themselves for their own safety and yet they cannot even stop their urge for food outside.


Quote
Richaun Holmes just put himself in quarantine for dinner. The Sacramento Kings forward announced on Monday that the NBA placed him in quarantine after he left the Disney World bubble to pick up food delivery.

I thought it's not allowed.
It should not be. All food will be served from the hotel.
Quote
Holmes is the second player forced into quarantine after breaking the NBA’s bubble boundaries. Houston Rockets forward Bruno Caboclo reportedly “inadvertently” broke the bubble and has been quarantined inside his hotel room for eight days.

It’s not clear if Caboclo was also seeking an upgrade over the NBA bubble menu.
Holmes is actually the second to do it.

Per written in the article, the sanction would be.



This is the 2nd incident, so probably the organization has to be more strict so it will not happen again, removal from the campus might be good for these violators, sorry for being harsh, but they have no idea how big their offense is, they are taking things lightly so they should learn.

It's not really allowed that's why there's a violation, and he will be sanction for that one as you can see in the post above.

I hope Bam Adebayo is not of the three unnamed positive players of Heat.
https://twitter.com/flasportsbuzz/status/1279473016997580800

This was tweeted July 5, so it's not a fresh news, but I think Bam Adebayo is part of the players who got positive with covid-19.

Here's some article about that.

Missing players revealed: Bam Adebayo, Kendrick Nunn away from Heat, likely COVID absentees
Quote

The Miami Heat held their first team workout since mid-March on Friday, with the session coming in the NBA’s “bubble” near Orlando and without center Bam Adebayo and guard Kendrick Nunn.

Bam Adebayo and guard Kendrick Nunn are missing in the practice, so we have a hint already.

Rockets can win without Westbrook but they are better with Westbrook.
When the season resume, it's only for the positioning and give chance for those who will quality in the last spot especially in the West, but looking at the ranking, Rockets are already ensured with a playoff status so it's not necessary that westbrook will play when the season resume.

https://www.espn.com/nba/standings

note : teams with x-marked are teams qualified for the playoffs.
Ohh yeah, I forgot about the format (my memory don't serve me right). Cheesy

With that said. WB just need to get back into shape before the playoffs begin.


That's the right thing to do if I'm the rockets management, I don't want to risk him playing when games are no bearing at all, unless they are looking for a higher ranking which I doubt they would since home court advantage is not vital anymore.

Quote
Russell Westbrook is the fourth All-Star, along with Nikola Jokic, Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, to have tested positive for coronavirus this season. Two more All-Stars, James Harden and Bam Adebayo, have not joined the bubble for undisclosed reasons.
I hope Bam Adebayo is not of the three unnamed positive players of Heat.
https://twitter.com/flasportsbuzz/status/1279473016997580800

Another one?.. I hope so because Bam has been doing really well this season but if he is that one, then no worries since Heat is also already qualified in the playoffs.

NBC Sports National NBA Insider.

Nikola Jokic has tested negative for the coronavirus and he is already in Orlando.

I'm sure Westbrook can still play if he is allowed, this guy is super human, he might get tested but it should not affect him.

According to some article that has been posted recently, a player that will be infected with covid-19 will be out at least a minimum of 2 weeks, and of course it would not be easy to come back as training is necessary for a player to get back in shape, it's just bad for Westbrook but anyway at least this happened before the resumption of the season.

Well, yeah. He's still maybe able to play, but first he needs to get tested again for atleast 2 times after two weeks of his quarantined.

In other cases, it lasts to 2 or more weeks, depends on the immunse system of the carrier. Hopefully, with 16 days left before the NBA resume, WB should beat the virus before the resume day comes. Smiley

Every games is very crucial, and without WB it's gonna be a tough fight for Houston.

The poll has been change knowing that NBA started again. In this case lakers still has the fans vote to win over the championship game. Well, it is because of strong line up course lead by lebron. Their team were really big and both do good inside and outside perimeter. They had really the great chance of winning.
They don't only win in the poll here, for sure in the poll outside hosted by other websites because Lakers is the heavy favorite now to win the Championship.

It can also be check in the betting odds from this site - https://sportsbet.io/sports/basketball/usa/nba/outrights

However, the ball is round and we could not also be little the clippers lead by an MVP Kawhi Leonard.

Leonard is always underrated, the Clippers might beat the Lakers in this season, who knows...
They have all the tools to do that and they are complete, healthy and can surely compete well with the Lakers.

There head to head this season - https://www.landofbasketball.com/head_to_head_gl/lakers_vs_clippers_game_log_season.htm

Clippers won 2-1.

So it might not be true.
Guys, be really careful with what we read. There is too much fake news out there or just made for attention.
Always do deep research.
Just reminding so we can have the best sources as always.
Thank goodness! Because if Harden was infected as well then there's a high possibility for them to have a lose streak and not get a good momentum after the game resumes.

With regards to fake news, you can avoid it just by simply on sticking on their own website of course (NBA) or other reputable sites like ESPN, FoxSports etc. Smiley.

Breaking news, Westbrook tested positive with the virus.
Source: https://www.facebook.com/172635502843901/posts/3267907033316717/

He still have time. He'll be able to get back before nba orlando bubble with few days of conditioning. He's fine though a bit late.

And I had also heard the news that Harden was also infected by the virus.
But, I am still looking for a legitimate source since most of the news came from sources that are not reputable yet.

According to the NBA in this source.
Quote
Houston participated in their second practice at the Walt Disney World bubbled without Westbrook, James Harden and Luc Mbah a Moute, who is in his second stint with the Rockets after signing with the team on Jul. 7.

So it might not be true.
