Yeah, as I have said, behind close doors NBA management and families are really working together to help the victims of the pandemic specially in the US.

Of course who wouldn't miss the games, I think by this time it is already play-offs and players are upping their ante and their intensity.

Nice! Well they are really proving to us that NBA really Cares . It is a win-win-win situation for all of us because we are not only entertained but most importantly the people who are affected by the pandemic will get help. I hope more and more events such as this one will come in the future.

Ah okay! So if the first shooter pull off a half court shot (or any kind of shot) then the other one must do the same thing? This game is so cool and interesting tho . In this case, I'll go with Trae because I think he is a versatile shooter than CP3.

Honestly, I was expecting something kind of from home, I haven't seen any information regarding that so I don't know what will happen. If they are at the same place that means there needs to be some people there anyway, two players, one probably ref (not really a must) and some TV crew so they can air it, that means at least 3 people and up to probably 10 people if the TV crew is big. When we are at a stage where we have managed to stop all the NBA activity to make sure nobody gets corona, does it make sense to make this at the same place?

I would say maybe if everyone did it from their own home, that would be more legit, everyone could make sure it is proper and fair by just live streaming each other, like a skype chat or something which could be streamed on twitch, that way everybody will be at their own home court but also we can watch it live as well.

Good initiative by the NBA commissioner. At first I thought It was all business, but as I read the whole article, It enlightened me that these are for charities as well to raise some funds to combat covid. At least the NBA gives us a reason to stay at the safety of our home.
This is an overall good form of entertainment from the NBA, but damn I really missed the playoffs and it's intensity.

So, they are really doing it.
This is good.
Chauncey Billups is joining, I just hope he still got the touch.
This might become a long game.
Hoping no exhibition from Lavine.  

A little information for those who don't know what HORSE is.

Yes, but let us face it.
CBA is also getting a lot of attention because of the NBA players which they are pulling in their league.
I saw Arenas being interviewed by First Take or Fair Game. IIRC. (a show where a lady interview the players in a couch) 

Arenas admitted that he is making more money than he was at NBA.
He is kicked out because he brought a gun in the locker room and also pointing it with another player.

Yeah, they can offer large sum of money to this players but I think they will need popularity for the advertisements to also pay more.
Of course they will need profit or the very least, money back.

Which also good for the sake of those players and fans that will watch the game, we can remove the fact that even there are still possible threat of this virus fans will always be fans, from the eyes of those people they will take the risk just to watch their favorite team/players.
Using other homecourt that is also near from the host teams can be done if there's a call to ensure the health of everyone.

I do not like conspiracies and for me it is just a waste of time because it is just speculation after all. When it comes to NBA, there is conspiracy where they say that the season is cancelled where it will restart next year. I do not think that it will be announce by the commissioner because it is really unfair to those top 8 in both seed. As long as this crisis will not become worse, the NBA will comeback in this year.

Mankind's history is riddled with conspiracy theories, heck even Jesus himself. Let that conspiracies float, hype it as much as they want but at the end of the day still boils down as who you are going to believed this crazy story.

Back on topic, NBA is doing their best and looking at all angles so see if there is a viable solution to somewhat get around with this pandemic and continue with the season or totally scrap it and wait till everything is safe.

 Why not look at what we already have and not how it originated? There has been a lot of talks about how "china made this virus to kill 'muricans" or whatever but even if that was true, how the hell does it change the recovery? I mean we are talking about thousands of people die every single day, how it originated could maybe help us figure out who the enemy is after this is over but it does literally nothing for today.

 You know what the real paradise would have been? The most optimum and ideal situation? Governments of the world do not overcharge the public for stuff and pocket the change, they do not make buys or offerings that are widely different that costs the public tax money and makes some business people rich that bribes the politicians, everything goes perfectly and these governments thankfully save some money because of this. What do they use that money on? Well obviously they are buying stuff from the companies who are having trouble keeping the lights on, and they are giving it to public, and paying everyones money like nothing happened at a level where it is not too much but it helps them stay alive.

 I know I wrote not NBA related stuff for a long so Imma stop there and not make this a wall of text but none of that happened and USA continues to get worse, everyone eyes May as the time we are gonna get better but I still have my doubts. Hopefully we will get better but it really doesn't look like it and NBA may not really recover that quickly neither.

Conspiracies make a certain page, news, articles, websites popular by gathering views. More viewers, more traffic, more money.

That kind of conspiracies is not worth reading as it will just lead us into fake thoughts. Until the US government itself or any top countries stated this officially on the live television together with proofs, that's just the time I will believe in it.

I just want to add that if ever NBA will come back, as in the environment is now healthy, they can skip homecourts at those heavily affected like New York. It was done before when New Orleans temporarily used Oklahoma as their home court due to Hurricane Katrina.

If CBA wants to get NBA players they totally can, they can definitely build an amazing league there but they are not really going for it that much. Think about it, there is a salary cap rule in NBA and CBA could just remove that from their lives and offer them unlimited amount of money. We are talking about a nation that manufactures basically everything in the world or their knock off at least and they have trillions of dollars of american bonds so they are quite rich as well.

So, what stops them from offering Lebron James one billion dollars a year? Not saying they should because they can't make that money back, however they can afford it, even if you can't get players like Lebron or Durant or Kawhi, you can definitely convince lesser players with a lot more money, give the 10-20 million dollar dude 100 million dollars a year and a 5 year contract worth 500 and you can bet your ass he will go to china to play. None of this really means anything about pandemic and biochemical war at all, just wanted to say economically it is possible.

But one thing is sure in near future these all conpirancies are going to be solved because time will come when this all will appear as fact I am feeling its biological weapon and created by some country for destroying this all its nothing new because trade war happen many times and these things changed the all world very badly still hungerness is biggest issue in this world but no one interested so its not solving its going on.

There are lots of conspiracies that floats around and even 5G was involved into this situation thats why we cant be sure if its a biological weapon or truly a virus that came from animals.
It doesnt matter on whats the origin yet the most important thing now is to create the vaccine to solve this global problem.Almost all things in the globe had been affected.
In between or talks about Nation ranking in terms of power then i dont really care much.

Next season schedule in just one thing but since the current outbreak of the Covid-19 is happening way too fast I believe the current season is the mean issue also according to the espn sports new today many NBA teams are united in hopes of encouraging the league office to push the date of the June 25 draft until no sooner than August 

I don't really know as I am not also a medical expert but I have just read it here.

I think they are still looking for an option for faster recovery.
As of the Korean Movie, sorry I haven't watched that yet. But I will sure do. I already put it in my movie list to be watched.

Yeah, but if they want a champion for this year then they might still continue into where they had left it.
Although they will have a large problem with the next season schedules.

Yeah its not time for blaming and pointing fingers since this time cooperation is needed to conquer this virus but we cannot really control on what's running in the minds of opposition since they used the current situation to create anger and to distablise the administration and thus is happening in Philippines.


Hopefully this virus will end up soon so that we can see our favorite players running at banging on the hardcourt.

In part of social medias, they can ruined everything if they wanted to, since they are always aimed for more viewers even they are not telling the truth the can spread things and make it looks real.
Whatever causes this virus, leaders should look for the solution and set aside this blaming /pointing fingers, they can discuss things after.

They are getting an NBA players as an import maybe because they know American players are great players with good skills, especially the Black.
Well, I guess if China would compete, they will not beat the NBA, not in this business as the best players of basketball are in the USA.
