NBA might actually be cancelled for good this year I am afraid, I want it back as well but it looks like it is getting more and more impossible each day.
I may have to agree with this. If not, then there will be a new arrangement to finish this season and another short cut for the next season.
That is to equal the the time spent with Covid-19 lockdown and then maybe afterwards they could start again with the normal kind of game.


I have read it somewhere that it is possible to continue this NBA season in a crowdless arena. I mean, they will play their remaining games minus the fans in the stadium.

Is this possible? What about the revenues or all other stuffs economic-wise?

However that massive land, even with all the improvements in technology, is the trouble they have right now. Building test kits in multiple locations and distributing everyday all the time constantly without stopping is hard. Hospitals needs new kits every single second, they are literally keeping people in lockdown in hospitals until kits arrive, which is taking some time considering it is quite further apart from each other.


Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It takes time to go from East to West and that is why it is also taking a lot of time to send the cure if ever there is one.
But there is what we call technology so I bet they can do it faster by now.

The trouble that USA has is the thing that made USA such a powerful nation to begin with in history, its the land. Normally it was a nation built upon a whole continent size country and they had so much land that was uncultured that they took over and became the biggest nation in the world thanks to it while all others were dealing with less land and less resources to go on.

However that massive land, even with all the improvements in technology, is the trouble they have right now. Building test kits in multiple locations and distributing everyday all the time constantly without stopping is hard.

Corona virus can spread easily US needs to have more preventive measures in order to be able to cope up and lessen the potentials spread around them.
In a daily basis, the number of infected people have increase and the fact that US now become the number 1 in terms of number of cases, they should put everything in lock down, they have to deal with this virus properly as it's life of the people are at risk here.

What measures they really do? Why is it the number of cases has been skyrocketing?
Does the measure means its not effect?

One of the reasons this has happened because they did not impose the lockdown protocol as soon as the outbreak in China became unstoppable. now they are hit by this huge problem right at their head. because the USA is not like China, they having a hard time controlling their people especially those homeless who don't even have a home to lock themselves on. I really hope this will end soon, I really miss watching NBA games seriously.

I don't think that we need to worry about NBA players though, yes they can be affected as well, but there body is always healthy and could get the best medicine to help them out.

I agree with that, though America is a rich country, there are also poor people out there that needs the help of the government.
If this fight is only handled by the US, even if they are a big country, I have doubt that they can stop the spread in just a short period of time.

US might not think of asking help from its rival country, but if this situation worsen, they don't have a choice.

Right, there has been no reported cases in China, on the contrary US has overtaken Italy on the number of people getting affected by the corona virus. Yes lockdown is a good measures, but I think there should be mandatory test on everyone in the US, specially big states like New York and Los Angeles as the virus is quickly spreading in big cities.

I don't think that we need to worry about NBA players though, yes they can be affected as well, but there body is always healthy and could get the best medicine to help them out.

Some good news just came in, both Gobert and Donovan Mitchell have recovered from COVID-19.
I hope to hear the same for Smart, KD and the rest of the Net's players that got it soon.

Oh thank God.
More good news. I am loving it.
It's like they just had a cold for a week or more.
But as of now, the number of Covid-19 cases in USA is still growing at 100k+. That is not good.

They should start testing more people to prevent this from infecting more people.
It cannot go back and forth to those who are already healed.
That's right it can go that way if they won't implement proper procedure to make sure that those who are infected will not bring the virus to more people around.

Indeed this is a good news, both of them are able and healthy body that's why there were able to recover just like the rest.
They have a good immune system, actually even Mitchell  said he can still play a series of games even when already infected with the virus, but there's a possibility that he will be infected again if he will not be careful, so there is no choice right now but just to stay at home.

However, there are new cases in the US, as they now top that category, not good for the US because most likely the NBA games are going to be suspended even further.
The number now has increased to 101,000 as I am writing, this is going worst, if this hits millions, I don't know what would happen to the US.

This is really good news but on other hand we have sad news as Numbers are increasing very quickly for victims of Corona Virus now USA going on top with peoples effected by this Virus.

Yeah, it’s great to hear that both Mitchell and Gobert have recovered and that they are doing well now. It was with Gobert's infection that the NBA suspended the league in the first place. But we still need a lot of good news before the NBA resumes its normal activities and keeps the world cheerful.

I have found the news that says KAT's mother is in coma from corona virus and I hope that she gets better but I couldn't find one for KAT himself, maybe he has it as well but right now is definitely the worst time to get it for him. Think about it, dudes mother is in coma with a chance to never waking up and he needs to be with other people who could support him through all of this yet he will be basically stuck all alone.

You can have smart phones and chats and whatever but as long as you are truly alone with nobody around that means you will feel alone anyway even if you talk with others. Hopefully they both recover and get better. People should realize, it is not elders that put us in danger, it is elders who put themselves in danger by going out.

 Recovery is a lot faster if you are a healthy individual it turns out. However there is a real trouble that until you get better, there is a chance you can infect others as well. There is a HUGE number of people who are infected right now around the world, but we do not realize that a lot of them are not actually dying, many of them will recover because this doesn't kill you all that easily right away, it usually damages you, it bed riddens you, or maybe sometimes does absolutely nothing, Donovan himself said that he feels like he could go for a 7 game series when he was infected, some people are just carriers and feels zero sickness.

 I think the way the world is going right now, we are still peaking and going up, I doubt we will see NBA this year if this keeps up, I know that they want to play because we are talking about billions of dollars here, but they can't force any player to risk their lives as well. Think about an NBA player dying because of corona because he was forced to play, do you know what will happen? That would be literally suicide for Adam silver and the rest.

Good news indeed, and expected as they are pro athletes at their prime, and on top of that they have best medical services money can buy. I bet that 99% of them have mild symptoms so I'm sure that all the others will recover soon as well.

I hear a lot of talk lately about season continuing without the fans, more and more people in the media mentions it and I think that might become reality soon. Players like LeBron will just have to accept that. As it looks, it might be the only way to finish this season. But that comes with dome dangers as well. Tough call, and whatever they choose, there will be opponents and complaints.

I am even surprised too, I thought Italy would have the biggest number of cases but they were surpass by the US, maybe because the measure done by the US is not so strict that even the NBA are still considering of continuing the season with the idea they presented.

To be honest, I wasn't surprised with the US surpassing Italy in the number cases, after the first few NBA players tested positive, I knew that the virus must spread a lot during those games without anyone noticing due to how long it could take before the symptoms could surface.

This would be far from perfect, but I guess it would still be better option that completely cancelling the season. Personally, it will be miracle if they can pull off this. It will be interesting to hear players opinion, as they are the ones that will be endangered the most, and consequently. Maybe players could be in some kind of quarantine during finals series, to minimise the risk of spreading the virus.

Any decision taken by NBA as to how to finish the season would be far from perfect, if it's not the native playoffs format. However, they'd would be looking to savage as much as they can from whatever is left, so even more drastic measures could be considered.
