At this point in time, 2 weeks before the resumption of NBA games even 1 case is crucial but with the case of Jukic where he tested negative just one week after the announcement that he had the virus, i think those who tested positive could still make it. Hope that the NBA will strictly implement protocols so that this resumption will go on as plan.

I really hope that this upcoming games are not suspended and they will continue as they have announced its schedule. anyway, those who cannot play will have a chance cheering for their team at their respected homes. This game should not be delayed anymore because they need to end this season as soon as possible. However, they need to be careful and not to end up being infected by the virus. so the season will gonna end up smoothly.

Same here, his old picture was criticize by some people but he looks good with the new one, it look like he really gained some weight.
Nikola Jokic has to be healthy, good thing he is back now and he can play when the NBA will resume, their playoffs experience might become a key for their success this season, and they are one of the underrated team that we can trust to at least give some kind of thrill whoever teams they will face.

Bucks on the other hand had the best record but it seems like their loss last playoffs was still fresh in the mind of the fans, Giannis needs to prove he can also dominate in the playoffs to gain the trust back, personally, I'm not backing the bucks to win, even in the East.

The only thing that can dominate them on the East is I think the Heat with Adebayo, Butler and Igoudala and they have 2-0 against the Bucks though Adebayo wasn't still on the bubble at Orlando.

Probably, but playoffs is a different thing, while Heat have dominated the Bucks, they also struggle against other teams in the East.
With the rank of the Bucks now, they would not meet in the first round but possible they would in the 2nd round, that if the Heat will be able to beat their first round opponent. Hopefully all the key players of the Heat will be fully healthy during the playoffs so we can see some very competitive series.

Also, let's consider the adjustment, there's no home court edge here as they are playing in Orlando.

I think everyone who watches the 2020 NBA Season feels that the Lakers will really take it all BUT for some reason, we know that the underdogs or other teams are not gonna let that happen because everybody got their pride on the line. I still think that whatever comes in the way of Lakers, they will try to overcome the challenges and personally, I also wanted the Lakers to win a championship again.

Lets just hope that none of the players that will play through the New NBA season are healthy and well.

Right now it's a game of those who have a good roster team and mostly that will be the case but overall it is a team effort. Lakers is for sure has the best roster right now knowing how healthy Davis, LBJ, and the twin towers McGee and Howard to say the least. With the strict compliance on NBA by now, I think those that will able to play is for sure healthy.

I still think that whatever comes in the way of Lakers, they will try to overcome the challenges and personally, I also wanted the Lakers to win a championship again.

Lakers is no doubt the best team in the NBA right now, although they didn't hold the best record in the NBA in overall but Lebron is a proven champion, plus they have Davis who had a playoff experience and very hungry to win a championships.

In sportsbook they are the favorites so they might likely win, but you are right, there are underdog that could give a surprise, like the NUggets or the Clipperes.

They are, and what I like with Lebron James now is that the Lakers has a great chemistry and Lebron does not need to do it alone this time unlike in the past that he usually carry the team to win, he got Davis on his side who is a dominant big man, this man can dropped 20 to 30 points, depending on the need, so they really are a threat. I feel that the competition this playoffs and in the NBA finals is better compared to the previous.

Lakers is so strong when Lebron and Davis is inside the court but? the team stats slow down when they are setting down so I think for them to get the best record on next opening they should get a good 2nd squad so that whenever lebron and davis is at rest they can rely on their second men on the court. I think they need to let go of some of their players so that they can accumulate a more stronger player on next season.

No doubt for Davis and Lebron, they are a class A superstars, I don't even see a single game where they struggle, we can really rely on them and I understand if majority would bet on the Lakers to win because they are just so good this season.

Bucks on the other hand had the best record but it seems like their loss last playoffs was still fresh in the mind of the fans, Giannis needs to prove he can also dominate in the playoffs to gain the trust back, personally, I'm not backing the bucks to win, even in the East.

And that's it, the feeling of facing a Covid-19 positive just last month. With that several and repetitive tests done to Jokic, I do hope the virus really leaves Jokic's premises lol.

Good health not just for him but for everyone who is facing the same problem.

He might be the first one to be tested positive in the league but it doesn't mean he is the source.

Unfair if today, there are still people looking to him like that.

Oh yeah!
He made a bad choice and putting his teammates in danger but still, he is not the source.
Whoever it is, it was from the interview that happened.
I don't think no one should be blamed for passing this virus. Who knows if you have it already unless the symptoms will be revealed early.
We must help each other in this pandemic.

NBA athletes need extreme protection to avoid becoming infected. In Florida there is a large outbreak of new positive cases of coronavirus every day.

I think as long as you are not seriously injured, players should be cleared to go into bubble as long as they test negative. I mean just today we learned that Westbrook tested positive right? He didn't went to bubble with rockets neither, so that means he would be staying outside. However as long as he clears in time before it starts or even after it starts, as long as he tests negative eventually and is better, he should be able to join the team, because he no longer has it and can't spread it.

However even with that in mind, dude could still have hard time playing. This is something that risks your lungs and if you have a bit damaged or recovering lungs that means you are going to put overtime on your heart as well. I do not want anyone to have a heart attack on the court because they came back from virus recovery too quickly just to play. So maybe get them there but just for moral support and see how they are doing in small tiny practices first and always get their lungs and other stuff checked out to make sure they are not risking everything.

Well then, hoping for the best. With the tight competition in the West, we don't want to see an incomplete Denver Nuggets lineup once the NBA resume.

And that's it, the feeling of facing a Covid-19 positive just last month. With that several and repetitive tests done to Jokic, I do hope the virus really leaves Jokic's premises lol.

1 case is crucial already. It's a bubble.

What I'm seeing is, the season will officially end if the spreads meet the numbers you have stated. 5-10 people can almost cover the whole people inside the bubble once they will do a contact tracing.

There is no reason at all to continue the league if more than 5 will be infected inside that tight security and well-hygieneated bubble.

At this point in time, 2 weeks before the resumption of NBA games even 1 case is crucial but with the case of Jukic where he tested negative just one week after the announcement that he had the virus, i think those who tested positive could still make it. Hope that the NBA will strictly implement protocols so that this resumption will go on as plan.

They don't want to mess up on this and for sure they will implement more strict implementation regarding on health protocols and I believe Jukic will be back in action once he will be verified that his negative and he will finish the quarantine guidelines and also if there's no additional case will happen inside the league. Let see what's the latest updates by this.

I also hope. If in any case the virus spreads with more than 5-10 people around the bubble, I'm sure they'll move the start of the game next month again.

No, I don't think so.
It will be over once they mess it up. It is a chance, not a privilege.
If something goes south then it will be ended by the government to avoid more casualties.

I think the first test on Jokic was more like inaccurate test because the succeeding test gives him a negative results.
Not sure with that one though, just correct me if I'm wrong.

And here's the latest statement regarding players that are confirmed positive with covid-19

Unfortunately there's no tight security inside as there are players who were able to violate leaving the premise, that's a kind of negligence that will put the entire league at risk, imagine how much they spend to prepare for the return and it will just fail? Then we would not be able to witness NBA this year which would also ruined our expectation.

I guess they are getting serious now.
