They can't afford that, their will be a lot of people working under the organization that will struggle because of no income, and this would not gonna help the economy of the US which has been struggling now due to the big number of cases on covid-19.

Might be, or they can't simply miss their schedule besides their are games that haven't finished yet. Now I've been thinking,... (LazyCrazy) Social Distancing will be applied on NBA 😂 Just imagine on how they're going to block 😂

I believe they will really push NBA to resume, but of course with proper measures since they will not get the approval if they have no safety measures in place just to ensure no transmission of covid-19 is going to happen again.

As per post above, the NBA season will reason late July or early August, that gives them a lot of time to prepare and I think they have been practicing already by now. (information) NBA is a big organization, they will not mess up this opportunity given to them, so I believe they will succeed on resuming the games, and we will once again start to make conversation here regarding the actual games we watched.

So, it's official!
NBA will be returning late in July

A great news indeed, now we can finally make bets again.
Though I don't know what it will be like for we have a new normal life after this pandemic. Though this is really a good thing for I have think that NBA might not yet comeback this year or may have on December 2020.

That's right, the protocol must be followed, testing the players and the entire team to resume the matches. Probably as this season the calendar has not been met due to the pandemic, the games that were scheduled are not fully met, players could earn less income from their wages. But I think that this is not so important when health is first .

So, it's official!
NBA will be returning late in July and these are some of the game format upon resuming the 2020 season.
Did you guys think it's better to see a play-in tourney when theres a closer gap on the lower seed?
Nevertheless, I'm kinda excited to watch NBA actions again, though I was thinking how would they able to maintain their health security measures. Good thing I read about this one.

"Players and staff would be isolated from an extent in Disney World, with players able to play golf and eat at the restaurants, at the resorts while being cut off from the rest of the world and the threat of Covid-19. It is expected players will be regularly tested for the virus and will enter quarantine should they proved to be positive in Covid-19"

Ok they talked about how the league basically returns and the next year as well, I am not against the plan of next year, its actually much better with december 1 and I hope that stays, that way it could go into summer as well and we could have a season at June or July next year as well. They didn't say when it will end, but we could make a deduction about how long it could be, normally its about 1.5-2 months beforehand and it ends around april (regular season) and depending on the playoff schedule, normally its about early june that it ends. Now that its postponed next year, I assume late july and early august finish? That could be a trouble for the olympics and world cups and so forth if they keep this type of schedule going.

"The N.B.A. will formally present a return-to-play plan to its team owners on Thursday that calls for 22 of its 30 teams to resume the 2019-20 season at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida in late July, according to several people familiar with the league’s intentions.

It's official now, voting passed, result was 29-1. Only ones that were against the proposal were Blazers. There are few othe other decisions:

Why do they get all those teams from the west but not from the east? I didn't see an explanation on why some teams are playing and some teams are not. If it is about title contention possibility, we have Suns playing, nobody thinks they are going to win anything or even be in playoffs.

There is one team from the East, Wizards. Simply put, those teams with realistic chances to qualify for playoff will play those 8 games, and those that don't have chances won't continue, as there is no point.

Regarding Phoenix, they have more wins than any other Easter teams below 8th spot so I wouldn't call them total crap. They didn't choose teams that will continue based on titles win, but on chances to finish in top 8. Check the standings and you will see why it makes sense to include them and not Hornets or Bulls from the East. For example, Hornets are 7 games behind Orlando Magic that holds 8th spot in the East, and only 8 games are left to play.

In the other news, NBA announced that draft lottery will be held on August 15th, and draft on October 15th.

Warriors makes sense, they are bad right now but they have a fan base thanks to going to finals 5 times in a row, sure they will suck right now but they are going to both get a lot of views on TV but also get better next year so it is nice to keep them in the talks, but Suns? Who watches suns? Nobody likes them and they are very bad as well. At the end of the day there should be a reason why so many west teams are playing and so little east teams are playing, why isn't equal 1 to 1 between conferences

That is only a rumor I guess, we can only see the NBA will resume if Adam Silver the Commissioner of the NBA of the NBA will make a formal announcement. Rumors depends from which source the information is coming, but it could be close to resume since we are hearing a lot of rumors already.

Yup. It's probably 99% true. I think they are still ironing out some of the details like the format of the tournament before it will be approved.

Maybe it's also another way of telling players not to slack off and start training seriously.

That's good, at least those teams who are below in the top 8 ranking still have a chance qualify in the playoffs.
Now that they have finalized the format of the game, maybe next time we will know when the NBA will resume, right?

I believe we are already close in witnessing the comeback of the NBA based on the updates they have recently published.

Am I the only one thinking LeBron's gonna come out firing when play resumes? He hasn't really had a considerable break in 17 years, the breaks probably done him the world of good.

What do you mean by that?
I am sorry, I am kind of having a hard time to understand your statement.

Pretty sure he meant Lebron will still be on fire when the NBA resumes, base on his second sentence.
I also though about "firing" someone like coaches, staff, and back office Cheesy

.

Anyway, Lebron will still be Lebron, still dedicated and passionate about basketball. As you see, some players didn't stop working out despite of the home quarantine. While, others enjoyed the break and gained fat that could potentially hinder their athleticism.

We can't question Lebron, we know he maintain his body pretty well so at his age, he still look like he is on his prime, in fact he is smarter during the early days, his points is not that high but he is balancing it with other factors like the assists section, he is one of the leaders. In every debate, we can always use his stats as the basis, so let's check his record.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jamesle01.html

His current stats is just pretty impressive, he average a double double this season.

Haha yeah no doubt he's took the foot off the pedal the past few regular season (injury aside) which is smart and picks it up during playoffs. Just think with how he looks after himself he's going to benefit the most from the break. A refreshed and rejuvenated LeBron straight into the playoffs off a substantial break will be a sight to behold imo.

I think the issue here is not a player getting fat, it's doesn't matter actually if you'll ask me, what's important is they can still play and if the NBA will resume, they can do their normal practice and they will be back in shape. Fans concern right now is on when the NBA will resume.

Amid of the rumors as well for players getting fat, well, this one news was different and this one was addressed to Eric Gordon drop for 12 pounds since the suspension of the NBA games.

And I think that's news and will he really be different now since he lose pounds? That's for us to see since they are sure for the spot of the playoffs.

For sure, we might be seeing some NBA players that gets fat/weight once the league resumes.
But, we might see less with the superstars I guess.

Players from a team that will not likely to qualify the playoffs, they can get fat, lol..
On the serious side though, they are professional, they know that only when they are fit, they can perform best, so they would not blame the situation that they are getting fat, instead they will continue to work out and stay fit as the season might resume anytime soon.

Maybe we will see Zion gets Fat?

because he really looks fat that's why we have this article.

Just out of curiosity who are these players that gained weight during the pandemic? Do we have a list?

Those players really miss being out of the practice to the point that they truly embrace the feeling of being on their beloved home for a long period.

I hope not a star player is involved lol.

I don't have reliable source for now, but their were rumors that I stumbled upon while scanning my homepage news about Luka Doncic getting "puffy". But then again, these are just rumors.

Hope not.

We might say it is reasonable because of the quarantine.
But since they are in contracts, they will need to keep that body of them to stay fit.
If not, they might lose the credibility to be paid more or the same when their contract expires.
Discipline is needed.

But who am I to say it. Damn! I am getting fat too. Grin

Thank God my contract doesn't need to be fit.
