I guess this is not good anymore, it's just one day since Jokic was reported positive and we are seeing more.. I don't know, if I said that I'm excited about the NBA season to resume before, maybe I would like to change my mind now and I hope that they will just postpone their reopening.

My question is, will does it hurt the NBA at all not to open this year or maybe the upcoming months? I think if more and more players opt-out to play that will force them to postpone it, anyway, I wouldn't consider if the champion this time the real deal not until we saw the home-court advantage like what we always anticipate to see.

Yes it might, and it will not only hurt the NBA but it will also affect the profit that sports book are going to make if the NBA will resume.
I'm just saying my disappointment upon seeing the news, but you know, business are more important than lives for some, so I guess NBA will resume even if a lot of us will disagree on that.

Another important list to make is the number of players who tested positive for COVID-19 before the restart:

Code:

Nikola Jokic - Denver
Buddy Hield - Sacramento
Jabari Parker - Sacramento
Malcolm Brogdon - Indiana

Please add if you know others not on the list. I'm expecting more will be reported.

Oh! I thought so. Thanks for the update.
Yeah, we will expect a huge list.

I hope they will keep this transparent even with the stars.
Don't hide it.
There are chances they interact with different people and they must know it too.
It could be a chance to save their lives if ever they are also infected by visiting a doctor for a test.

Just an update for Nikola Jokic:
https://sports.yahoo.com/nuggets-star-nikola-jokic-among-players-to-test-positive-for-coronavirus-before-nbas-return-204814692.html

I'll doubt if he will ever play right now for the playoffs with this recent news to him, that's very unfortunate for Denver if Jokic will not play for the season since he is the main factor for the team.

He still can, and other players who will going to have a positive results if the NBA will begin mass testing inside the NBA circle, they can still recover before the season starts. I mean they have strong immunity, they can recover rapidly.

What other sad news is that, there are players who opted out not to play in season resume. Though, I understand and respect their decision, but this might be less exciting to watch with the incomplete roster. iMO, the team who'll win the title this year will be flooded with a lot of negative reasons.

No for sure the fans will understand the situation since they know how risky the situation is and it's up to the team owner if how they handle their rooster to stay healthy when pandemic is on, If there's a team with complete rooster who became champion for this season for sure they will earn respect since for sure people will look positive on them since they maintain their rooster healthy even if there's a disease existing around.

I think even with this news the NBA will still resume as per schedule, it's just sad that our of the star players of the NBA are tested positive, but Oasisman I agree with you, Jokic can recover and might be able to play soon. The healing the process depends on the immune system of the person infected, so I guess Jokic has a strong one and he will recover soon, probably before the playoffs start, that's my guess.

I've stumbled upon this article on their website about the young players that will have impact whenever the season resumes. What do you say about this and I know most of us likes Luka but spare him and look for the other good young athletes.
(https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/zion-williamson-luka-doncic-lead-the-nba-players-under-25-who-will-make-a-huge-impact-when-the/)

It's Luka and Zion, both are great young players.

In the article, it mentioned about young MVP's under 25 years old, the latest was Kawhi Leonard with the spurs, a well deserved recognition that time but I don't think both Luka and Zion had a great chance of achieving that now since their respective team does not have a good ranking to win the NBA Championship this season.

That's my instinct and my opinion, though both players are exciting to watch, but their team is not a championship caliber team yet.

I hope I'm wrong as I want to see Luka to achieved another milestone of success.

It's okay if that's what you think with Luka and Zion. They're still young and this becomes a trend to most athletes that are getting into the league. That becomes a competition for them and makes them think that there's a need to improve so that they can get into the line and be proclaimed as one of the greatest at their earliest date of their career. I'm just waiting for the career of Luka to get into at the peak just like what we're seeing with our most beloved and liked players but it's to soon for him.

Gobert and Mitchell had asymptomatic corona virus as well and this was during the early days of lockdown, hell they even had it when NBA was still going on. At the end of the day 30th is still quite far away and teams will fly to Orlando eventually (some time before I am sure) and everyone will be tested and they will be quarantined and they will be given whatever they need and eventually when they all get out none of them will be sick, the ones that are already healthy will be able to stay away from the virus, and the ones who are infected will be recovered as well.

However players are allowed to sit out, there is plenty of players sitting out already and I think if Jokic says he is sitting out because of this, that means good bye to Denver and their whole chance of doing anything on the playoffs this year.

Oh God! It's starting. We are going to see more in the upcoming days.

Quote

Jokic reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 in his native Serbia last week, delaying his return to Denver. According to Wojnarowski, he has been asymptomatic and expects to report to the Nuggets within a week.

So he is asymptomatic and I think many of them are.
They have healthy bodies and they don't feel the virus very much hurting their bodies.

It will be difficult to enjoy watching the game while some of them are missing.
Especially our favorite players.

TL;DR. His reasons were about his family concerns 'cause someone's ill, and needs watching.

On a side note. Due to Avery's concern it seems like JR Smith was the top candidate to replace him. Do you think we might be able to see Smith - Bron tandem once again? My bet is, he won't be picked Cheesy

... just a hunch Tongue

. I don't wanna see a confused Smith once again, runnin' around with a though that they were on the lead though, not to mention that regular season is just 8 games away to playoffs, and Lakers were the top contender, and heavy favorites to reached the finals in the West.

JR Smith at Lakers? Quite possible. Avery Bradley told ESPN on Tuesday night that he was opting out of the season's restart for family considerations. In my opinion, this is a big loss for Lakers. Bradley has shown an equal level throughout the season. Robust in attack and great in defense. Is Smith a worthy deputy? I have doubts. I know that LBJ likes to play with him, but Smith hasn't played an NBA game since November 2018. The only thing JR has won recently is a street fight with a guy.

I fully agree with that. If fans of Dallas/Nuggets don't believe their teams can reach the final,then what's the point? You gotta believe in your team and hope for the best, that's part of being a fan.

Thank you Rikaflip for making that clear. Grin

Quote from: Captain Corporate on June 23, 2020, 05:04:29 PM

However lets be honest, ranking wise Lakers and Clippers are first seed and second seed, whereas Dallas is 7th seed, there is 11 GB difference between Lakers and Dallas and there is 5.5 GB difference between clippers and Dallas.

Ranking wise yes.
But where would those winners of bets for the 1st seed get their payment if no one will believe for an upset? Grin

I am just saying, there is always a chance for everyone here.
It's the playoffs, there is no ranking when it happens. Everyone will do their best to win the 1st and 2nd round.

Quote from: Vaculin on June 23, 2020, 06:44:29 PM

Way back in 2011, it happened that the number 1 seed was eliminated by the number 8 seed team, this would tell us that nothing is impossible.

Memphis Grizzlies eliminate No. 1-seeded San Antonio Spurs | NBA playoffs

I am on the brink to bring this up but thank you for doing it in advance. Grin

This is sad news for Denver fans since they fell short on the NBA playoffs last year, the fans had been rooting for them all this year. Jokic is one of the key players in Denver to climb the playoff tree. I wonder how will they adjust their game without him. playoffs game is more intense and everyone is doing their best to compete with each other. this time the star player is more needed than ever. Let's just hope for his fast recovery and if he can't play this year for the playoff, it's not that bad for the Denver team. there will be always next year.

I also like to ask to those experts here, how many days is the recovery period of a person infected with covid-19?

Since he is young and healthy guy in general, and an professional athlete, most likely he will be fine in a two or three weeks. NBA season restarts in 5 weeks, so could be back in time, but problem now is that he won't be able to prepare properly for continuation of season. You can't just jump in after few months break without proper physical preparation.
It is his own fault imo, a lot of people behave like it is all good, like virus suddenly disappeared. He was going out, meeting other people (among them was Djokovic who also is positive). Pretty stupid and irresponsible behavior, since he knew that season will start soon, and his team relies heavily on him.

I think he can still play, 2 weeks of practice I guess is already enough and I think the NBA organization has already seen this kind of possibility so they made the test early to give an ample time to recover for players who are tested positive.

2 weeks is very short, they have a good standing now and they are already insured of a playoff spot, so there is no pressure on the side of Jokic, all he has to do is just to recover from covid-19 and take more rest and just come back when playoffs start.

I think it's possible to see a fully healthy Jokic again.

That would be a great solution too, of course he can choose not to play in the remaining games of the season, besides they will still quality in the playoffs. I hope we won't hear another NBA players who are infected with the covid-19, especially those who are really vital in their team, like Jokic.

If Jokic will recover and his team is still not eliminated, can he still play?

That varies from person to person, unless this pandemic is over experts will not yet confirm such things. Athletes have more chance of survival, that's a fact considering their lifestyles. I think he can but if his manager says so that he can't play for the rest of the playoffs that's all there is to it.

Despite the recent news of the positive cases I remain optimistic that we are going to enjoy the return of the NBA.
I have read the NBA plan that if a player tested positive, he would isolate to retest if he has the same result. If the player is definitely positive for Covid19 he could be out for 14 days.
Nikola Jokic or other players could run with being lucky to heal fast as the virus has been detected in its initial stage.
