US accusing China reproducing the virus as bio chemical attack to them but they never talk about the cure of the virus.

It's a war between this two country..unfortunately, other countries are affected, and thus far, China won the war.

That's the problem.
Instead of uniting to find the cure it is still about who is the strongest of them.
Even China want the NBA players on their side offering so much money right?
Gilbert Arenas, Lance and a lot more. Even European and other countries players.
They are making their own NBA just to prove they are one of the strongest even in the market of entertainment.

Well, as of the virus there is still no proof if it is really a biochemical weapon or just a sickness from animals.
Even the media could tell lies just to provide a scoop.

I don't mind it too, but we are talking of a possible return but we don't have an idea when this virus will be contain.

That's really the big problem, we can't estimate when the NBA will resume when there is no cure for this pandemic yet.
I mean when people are worried about the situation, they don't think of something that will entertain them, they pay more attention on the news.

They are already calling those who already recovered from the virus to donate some blood to examine it.
That means they have the antibodies by now and they could find a cure right away.
But for me, this just tells that we still lack the best doctors in the world if it is going really slow.

I'm not sure that's how antibodies are created, from the movie I saw, they got the blood from a person that wasn't infected with the virus even if people surrounding him got infected.. if you saw the movie entitled "The FLU", it's korean movie actually, you'll know what I'm talking.

Quote from: Reid on April 09, 2020, 09:55:58 PM

I don't mind if they will shorten the 2020-2021 season and I guess the fans won't mind that too.
With all that had happened after this virus effect, I bet getting some good entertainment will be a key for us to forget it somehow.
To make everything back to normal again.

That's correct but the risk is more on the audience as not all of them are healthy and not all of them have the capacity to spend money when hospitalized, when the crowd is in big risk, the NBA can't sell their game to the crowd.

We really need a vaccine where people will not be affected by the virus and that they will be cure right away once infected.

Right, that's the sad reality.

As for the vaccine, I'm not expecting it will be made right away but I hope for a good. Once it made, except that only a limited production will be made and the cost of it is also a concern. We are still dealing with the previous viruses without a vaccine.

That's why as part of precaution just in case, let's say the world now finally controls the situation 3-4 months later, the NBA can use another couple or more months for extra works to make sure everything is ok for the current NBA season to resume. Not rushing for the return. It means the game will continue but the plan for no audience will still push. The season will continue even it will take place next year. No need to reset. They will just sacrifice the 2021 NBA season or whenever they will return but damn, thinking it will happen means we still need to deal with the current situation for a long period.

I like the idea of extending the limitations of the audience presence, if they can proceed with that plan after this virus find the vaccine, it's much better to think of safer resumes both for the health of the players and those people behind this league. Though there's also considerations regarding to profits and the management needs that to continue this business. It's a balance that's needed to take place.

Now if all of those players are back to being healthy and everyone recovered, that kind of would show the world that you can get the virus and get better and it is beatable and what you can achieve. A person who got the virus and than got out and dunked on someone would actually make a bit of change. It would basically tell people to be patient and when all of this is over we will get back to how things are and give them courage to be patient.

The virus is curable even without an exact medicine treatment against it. It depends on people's immune systems and on the other side, will to survive. And looking at the statistics, the majority of those persons who unfortunately passed away because of the virus are mainly with the pre-medical condition such as cancer, high blood, pneumonia and people that exposed to COVID-19 person regularly like the frontliners.

NBA players are known to be spoiled with a healthy lifestyle starting from the diet, regular exercise and taking vitamins. The reason also why Gobert and the others got cleared from the virus just only within a few weeks period.

That's maazing footsteps where even the referees unable to determine whether to call or not hahaha.. That trademark step back from the 3 point range,
The Beard really made his own name and create his own identity no need to compare him to other players but he have it's own one.

I thought the 3 step, step back, 3 point shot. Grin

I think my eyesight is getting blurry.

Quote from: Oasisman on April 09, 2020, 06:30:21 AM

Most of the people didn't know the legal step upon driving the lane before counting how many steps a player took before carrying the ball out from dribbling. That's what they call the gather step. Sometimes we get confused why some players didn't get a call when he seems to have took 3 steps before finishing to the basket, that's because of the gather step. However, with Harden's case, specifically the double step back three pointer, that was a big travel. Though, again we are confused whether that's a gather step or not, but Curry tried it and the refs called a travel. Therefore what Harden did was a travel lol. We all know that it was obviously a travel though.

Oops, there it is. He explained it pretty well.
Some dribbling analyst is still trying to explain it but that is way too obvious.
Well, they say this is the new era of basketball and I guess traveling is being erased in the book by now. I hope they are still like the way it used to be. The 90's of course.Oh and specially the 80's. Ref's before are badass.

Right now, there is only way way to go with this and that is cancelling the season and not giving anyone a championship, anything other than that is making things a lot worse in every possible scenario.

Yeah, but let us not let our hopes to be driven away. Just maybe, they could still find a way to insert the Finals.

There are many people who have recovered from the virus itself and we already know that those that are severely affected are people that are old specially with health complications like diabetes and hearth disease, those are the high risk. So obviously, if you are a basketball player chances are, you are not old and doesn't have the that risk factors. So I don't know how a NBA player dunking after they have recovered will make a difference. We have so much to be learn from this virus, one thing is clear though: Age is a risk factor here. And people might response differently, one might be severely affected, while others are asymptomatic.

Even if they somehow manage to close down a Las Vegas strip, put all players in hotels, make the games work, get absolutely zero corona virus spread, lets assume everyone ends up healthy without getting in, even with that best scenario you are being a bad example at worst, a lot of young kids love watching NBA and when they do something like that you are telling those kids its fine to go out and play ball, risking other peoples lives. That is why they should simply cancel and move on, there will be hundreds of NBA seasons in the future, and 50+ seasons before this, one of them ending up short wouldn't real matter in the grand scheme of things.

I wonder if any corona virused person left in the NBA, that should be one of the main topics moving forward. We all know it started with Rudy Gobert, than we heard about donovan mitchell, we know marcus smart and some lakers players and some nets players and durant as well. So we know some people, I am sure there must be some list of players who are positive and we would know about it.

Now if all of those players are back to being healthy and everyone recovered, that kind of would show the world that you can get the virus and get better and it is beatable and what you can achieve.

Harden's brand is his beard, and he is a star player so that beard is really big for him... if I remember correctly, I saw a fan with a postcard during the game that has a words " fear the beard"... they should fear this man as he travels a lot, he is sometimes called the traveler too.

USA is still going worse and worse, thousands of people die every single day, Corona has killed more people in the past 1 month than any other war USA has fought and that says something considering USA stays alive thanks to wars. Even if they are perfectly healthy with no issue at all in 5 months, that would be September or so, bringing the league back that late would be suicide, what are they going to do about next years season if they bring the season back at September.

Just make it a 2 month thing, and then give a week break and start the new season all over again? How are they planning to do free agency, trade deadlines, drafts? All of that has to be taken care of very quickly. All in all cancelling this season without a champion is still by far the best option.

They don't have much of a choice here.
If they go against what the government is trying to save then it might become just worse with what they want.

I know entertaining people is a good thing but this is a different case.
We are at war with something we cannot even see. It just goes to your body and can put you down without ever breathing again.
They all know that and I do think they are also afraid to just make everything worse.
Money can be created again but wasting a life can never be brought back.

I like Harden and I don't mind seeing him with his beard off. Maybe he won't travel a lot with his beard off.

On the other hand, we might see Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving back this season? I am craving to see how they work together. And how they perform against the East powerhouse teams like Miwaukee and Boston. But I do smell disaster on Kyrie, guy seems more injury prone.

Yeah, right.
Looks like that shoulder injury will just keep on going back.
I am also worried with KD. An achilles injury might be curable now but we have seen a disaster with Cousins.
It might also keep on going back.

The difference though is the weight. KD is more lighter than Cousins so it might take long before KD's achilles injury will show up again.
Me too, I missed watching the monster KD whatever team he is in.

There are even no talks/updates of the league resuming this year so I wouldn't say that there is a possibility of that happening right now considering the pandemic situation in the USA. There are also news that the NBA team owners will be planning to cut salaries of their players and staff because of the league being suspended so right now is a good time to say that the NBA season is over until we see some improvements in the situation of US. Aside from that even if the league resumes I see that the NBA will go straight right up to playoffs just to make it fair for the teams who are seeded right now and not just crown the one who has the best standing just when the season has ended.

Because actually executives doesn't know on when they can resume since the pandemic is still uncontrollable by the government and if their health care official cannot flatten the curve yet might they might forfeit this season and cutting of salaries will be happen. But if they go online and play the league via online since there is nba2k available might this is fun to play and people might get interest to watch them continue to play by this option Grin
