Quarantine NBA playoffs in Las Vegas? That option is being floated amid coronavirus

“Quarantine the players in July in Las Vegas and to have some form of a tournament that eventually crowns a champion,” Mannix said on the Felger and Mazz podcast on Tuesday. “It’s workable. It’s doable.”

https://www.star-telegram.com/news/nation-world/national/article241676486.html

Not a bad idea though to keep the fans entertained while #stayingathome. But, I also think this isn't the time to stress themselves from overthinking how to resume their business, I mean the number of people who contracted the virus in america has grown every single day. Do they have any steps to help the government in containing the virus so they can resume without the fear for the players to contract the virus again?
But then again, I'm not against this idea, If this is the only step they can do to keep the people to stay at home, so be it.

The idea of trying to find ways to resume this business and entertaining the fans, maybe for now, the people and the government needs help to contained this virus people are busy and also afraid from what they are seeing right now, they need to survive as life needs to continue even this struggles really making things very difficult for many people around the world.

They are with money for this maybe they should postponed the entire season for now since there is a crisis happening and they cannot assure if their players will became healthy since it was proven already that some of the players got positive with the virus. So its best to secure the health of the asset and resume the game when the pandemic ends.

Adjustment is a must here.

Business has to go on, whether we like it or not. World can't just stop because of this, or victims of this virus will be nothing compared to financial crisis that will come soon, if everything stops. Like in that meme; Improvise. Adapt.Overcome. Cheesy

Playing without fans is far from ideal, but it is still better than nothing. Some may say owners will loose a lot of money if they play without fans, but think how much they will loose if there are no games at all? Like in trading, you have to cut your losses, and adapt to the situation. It would be good to hear what's players opinion about this, are they willing to continue? And if not, are they ready for salary cut in that case?

Right, not just because some corona shit happens, the world will simply stop. Everyone should learn how to adapt in this kind of situation. Business owners are losing big chunk of money everyday, but it is better to move forward and think of ways to get around with what is going on currently. We can't just sit here and wait till a vaccine discovered, it might take some time. So it is better that NBA games continue without the fans.

That could work.
I have tried to think about that before as I have seen some of my colleagues living in hotels to do their job.
The company paid for it just so the work will keep on moving.

This could also be applied to NBA players.
Give each of them a hotel room and then check every player in each game.
As long as they will behave then they might really make it happen.
There should be strict rules when doing this. They could not just talk to anyone out there and everything must be cleaned well. It might really work but for a larger expense.

You said it right, I'm trying to convince myself to settle down and just watch the NBA highlights but it does not give such excitement like watching live games, main reason is I almost see all the games in the NBA so watching highlights does not give much excitement anymore.

From the replied above you, he mentioned that all the players of Lakers are being cleared including those two players that came out positive
meaning to say that they've got another test and luckily they've got negative results. Looking forward for the best and HOPE everything will be fine and things will be back to normal and we will be able to see the continuations of this season, we all miss the league..

Is that really possible or is just a part of the April Fool's day.
From a positive to suddenly a negative test?
Are those test kits broken? Grin

That smells fishy right?

This is just another way of keeping it.
Tested some of the players then letting the media see it while on the other hand the other will be saved by it including those 2 which are already positive before. Well, I just hope it is all true for their own health.

Have the same question in mind unless if they do make use of China test kits which have some report that it is just 40% accurate. Grin

Unless if the quarantine period is over and they have been re-tested and give out already negative result then thats truly a good news.

It is usually just a week or maybe two weeks long disease if you can beat it, when you get tested if you are in your first week or even in your secon week you can beat it quite fastly. Doesn't mean that everyone beats it that quickly, I am sure eldery is having more trouble beating it but these are professional basketball players in NBA level, they have one of the best physical conditions in the whole world, if you want to see a very healthy human you should look at an NBA player, except maybe Kendrick Perkins Cheesy

All jokes aside Marcus Smart, Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert are all cleared as well, they have recovered from it, all they had to do was stay inside and never contact anyone and they simply beat it. Also do not forget that it doesn't kill everyone, nor even bothers some people, some people do not even realize they have it until getting tested, so there could be some people who gets infected, walks around feeling awesome, than beat it without even knowing to have it in the first place as well.

The LA Lakers players are all cleared and symptoms free by now including the two players who came out positive more than a week a go.

I just dont get it, why the Lakers management hid the identity of those two players, when we essentially need transparency for the covid cases for our security.
Anyway, I guess most of the player has been recovered already except for Durant? I'm not sure, but he'll surely recover, these guys have a very strong immune system anyway, imagine contracting the virus without having any serious symptoms.

We will hear news from Durant soon, it's good to see that they are slowly recovering and while some players are even making live video to share their status, some athletes are hiding their status, like the Lakers players who were positive of covid.

I haven't heard of any update yet, maybe they stop hoping to continue the NBA season as the covid-19 cases are still rising in big figures.
I won't be surprise if tomorrow, the number of cases in US will rise to 200,000. #GOD HEAL THE WORLD AND THE PEOPLE

Guess the number is nearly reaching for that figure since as of now I think they didn't impose the lockdown yet and if this totally not implemented a huge possibilities that figures will reach or even it could rise up for more and it could be a huge fall down of american economy.

But I wonder also why there's no news regarding on durant and hopefully he's totally ok since the other players are now recovered from this illness.

Transparency.
They really should. It ain't a shame but to save more people.
What if this 2 guys forgot where they had been while they are already carrying the virus.

Yeah. If you will notice, LeBron James' name is always on the news during the quarantine period. If I will apply my "non-sense" observation, either he's is really virus-free or they are creating this regular exposure of him to show people that he's healthy.

According to the report, it's Lakers' discretion not to named those players. I don't see any negative impact on any team if they named those players. They are honestly good at hiding some clues. But one thing I'm sure, the involved players are part of the main core.

As of now, 4 of their players are confirmed negative: Davis, McGee, Dudley, and Cook leaving 13 remaining players who still not disclosing their status.

I have the same speculation but it may not be true. Grin

It's either Davis or James.
But what the heck! On the other team it was also superstars who are named immediately by the press.

Holy crap!

NBA Bylaws 6.23: If the season ends prior to April 1, the team with the best record in the year the NBA Finals will be held shall be crowned the undisputed champion.

https://clutchpoints.com/nba-bylaw-states-champion-will-be-crowned-via-best-record-if-season-is-cancelled/

I didn't even have the slightest thought that there is such a rule.
But the image looks wrong which is the Lakers holding the trophy.
It will be the Bucks. Grin

Quote

To be clear, the rule states that the team that will be crowned as champions will be the team with the best record for the current calendar year. The Milwaukee Bucks may lead the NBA with a 53-12 record on the season, but it is actually the Lakers who have the best record since January. Milwaukee currently holds a 24-7 record in 2020, while L.A. stands at 24-6. This would mean that the Lakers will be crowned as the 2019-20 champions, handing LeBron his fourth NBA title in his career.

Happy April!

Milwaukee Bucks co-owner interviewed by CNBC mentioned June for the return of NBA.

I think that is just his assumption, as good as everyone else's since it is hard to say what will happen in a few months. I read at several places that June/July is the best case scenario, so it might take even longer for NBA season to finish.

As we are waiting for season to continue, NBA organized fully televised NBA 2K tournament that will start this Friday. Tournament will go on for 10 days, and among 16 players that will participate are some big names like Kevin Durant, DeMarcus Cousins,Donovan Mitchell etc. All games will be covered by ESPN.

Quote

Based on players’ seeding – which is determined first by NBA 2K rating, second by tenure – players will go head-to-head online in NBA 2K20. Prior to the tournament beginning, every player will choose eight of today’s NBA teams, each of which can only be used once. If a mirror match is set, the away team is awarded first choice of team. Rounds one and two will be single elimination, with the semifinals and finals running best of three.

As long as Lakers sorted all people that were in the direct contact with those 2 players, and if they are properly controlling them, I have no issues with them hiding that info from the public. Even though I don't see a reason to hide this, or to be ashamed, it is not those players fault, virus was given to them by someone else.

In fairness, every NBA team did great work to immediately contained all their players and isolate them right after the league was suspended.

Not just the players but the whole part of its organization.

Kudos to their quick response.

Pay per view can still work if it is money they will need.
It is better than nothing right?

I am okay with it, seeing them watch in a daily basis would certainly make the fans enjoy while they are at home, and since we are at home now, their revenue will certainly increase in terms of PPV, but let's see if this will be realize consider how bad the US hit by the COVID-19.

Certainly everyone would be happy if the NBA launched pay per view, because probably most people in the world need more entertainment because they are sitting in lock down. However, taking into account the fact that in an increasing number of countries is set a total ban on leaving the house and on meetings of more than 2 people, the restart of the league seems a complete abstraction. Even, no matter what damage the virus causes in the US, we should also think about safety of players and their families. Money is not everything.

The NBA management should understand that, the reason they are finding ways to resume the season is they want to make money but risking the safety of the people, of all the countries which is hit by the virus, it is the US now which was heavily hit, of the 800K infected, they have 160,000 which is 20% of the total numbers infected, they are in serious trouble right now TBH, but like I said, I am not against if they'll resume.

These are huge numbers and no one can ignore them (I think about infected people).
I think the NBA league is strongly suggested by what happened in China. The Chinese wanted to resume the basketball league at the beginning of April, but they realized that accelerating this type of sporting events could very much hinder the complete neutralization of the coronavirus. The basketball league in China will not resume matches until the end of April, and maybe even in May it will not be ready for it.
Observing what is happening in the US I think it is far too early to try to set any dates for the resumption of the league at all. Now everyone should focus on their own and the players safety.
