As basketball fans, we don't want to hear that the season is over because of the corona virus shit.

But what can we do? Players are affected already and we don't know the extent of the damage specially for Utah Jazz players. We can also hope that Rudy can recover and the season continue after a few weeks.

It is a sad day indeed.

Protect players and so does the fans which are both important for the NBA management.
Here in our country there is already a panic in buying goods like canned goods, water and medical supplies.
I think there is already 49 people positive with that virus.

This ain't just a bad day for us gamblers but also for the whole world. This should be ended right away or else it could go worse.

I think it was the best decision, there´s no sense to starts NBA with all this risk for everyone in a closed stadium
I'm sure in a few months everything will back to normal, but until than we are to be very cautious

I have no doubt that the loss will be millionaire (maybe billionaire), but there's nothing to do, health is the most important for us

I wonder how Jazz would deal with this type of situation, worst case the whole jazz could be affected.
Wishing a speedy recovery for Rudy Gobert.

There are sources said that the NBA Season 2020 has been suspended. Not only the Jazz would suffer from this pandemic, but the whole NBA organizations.
I think the first step they will take is to quarantine everyone from both teams. It's just sad Gobert has been to many places and held a lot of things already before he was diagnosed positive for covid-19. Chances are, It has already been spread to his teammates, to coaches, and down to the media pres con. attendees.

Thats the problem now where he's been exposed to lots of people and that would start first on his own family.We know on how this virus is being transmitted and

for sure on next couple of days or weeks, there would be an another news about being infected inside the team or to those people whose close to him.

Everything is starts to mess up due to that shit Ncov.

The number of people infected are rapidly growing, this is already a pandemic and the organization are just doing the right thing, let us set aside the geed and this time we need to focus on the welfare of the people, I think the government needs to interrupt on this as well.

But how about when they were against the Suns?

Unfortunately, that was an upset loss when they were facing Suns (should have won it without Giannis). Middleton and Bledsoe are doing a great job to close the score gap, but Booker, Rubio (triple double) and Baynes as well are putting some great performance taking the advantage not having Giannis playing on the court.

Coronavirus live updates: NBA suspends season after Utah Jazz player tests positive for COVID-19

Quote

The NBA has suspended the 2019-20 season after a Utah Jazz player, reportedly Rudy Gobert, tested positive for COVID-19. Games in progress on the night of March 11 will be completed.

The league postpone Wednesday's game between the Thunder and the Jazz. Players and officials were told to walk off the floor while awaiting a decision from the league, and then the announcement was made to a jeering Oklahoma City crowd. Prior to the game on Wednesday, the team announced that Gobert and Emmanuel Mudiay were both out for the game due to an illness.

Yeah just saw it. Damn it and it happened to Rudy Gobert. I am shocked. He is such a great player and one of the key players in Jazz team. I wonder what goes from here on and how they deal with this and Jazz schedule this season.

Quote from: matchi2011 on March 11, 2020, 07:28:47 AM

Lebron can easily send the game to overtime not sure why he
chooses to pass the ball back to Davis and take the gamble to win or lose game.

It's part of the game. LeBron going himself was a bit harder IMO as Nets players almost approached him while Davis was not checked at that point, so he trusted Davis to go for the 3.

It was hard to see Lakers losing that one but let's leave it.

There is no way bucks wasn't maxing giannis anyway, I mean we are talking about the dude who is the last MVP and has a case for MVP this year as well. How the hell anyone would think that he wasn't getting a max? The trouble here is not that he wouldn't be maxed, the trouble was he might want to leave even with a max contract offer if he believed Bucks wasn't going anywhere with him on the roster and he wanted to chase a ring like Durant did it.

I don't think he will leave, as long as they still have a good chemistry within a team, he will stay for sure and enjoy his good salary.
He needs to improve as he can be shut down anytime if their opponent wishes to shut him down.

MVP's I remember that are looking for a championships are only Lebron and Durant, but they are too good compared to Giannis IMO as both can shoot well especially Durant who is an all around player, smarter than Giannis of course.

Of course Bucks is great now though, they have Bud as the coach and ever since he became the head coach they have started to play very well in the past 2 years and thats why I doubt they would lose Giannis to any other team, that team actually has a great chance of being champions plus on top of that if they manage to get just one more superstar to their teams one day, they would literally destroy anyone on their path. Just for example if they managed to get Russ instead of Rockets this off-season, they would have been insane, if they could get some shooters like Middleton around Giannis they would be unstoppable as well.

Like Bucks have such a huge chance of being "warriors level of great" that I can't really think how awesome they could get with some decent signings.

Reason why the management had announce in advance that they'll max out Giannis contract as they don't want Giannis to leave the Bucks.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2853733-bucks-gm-says-giannis-antetokounmpo-will-be-offered-supermax-contract-in-2020

For obvious reason that they are fucked up without him. We all saw it.

Quote from: asu on March 10, 2020, 08:54:01 AM

Bucks lossing to Nuggets were becuase of their 3 main scoring players was out.

Giannis is not playing...
Middleton as well...
and Bledsoe too having an injury that take him out for their game today.

Yeah, I might consider that. Just this once.
But how about when they were against the Suns?

Anyone seen the Lakers vs Nets game?

Tough lost for the Lakers, they are a bit sluggish early, allowing the Nets to close up the gap and taking the lead, it's just in the fourth quarter that Lakers was able to make a comeback. Anthony Davis is hitting the 3's, unfortunately, the one the needed the most? he missed it. Spencer Dinwiddie has a solid game for the Nets and so is Levert.

Watched it. I was amazed by how the Nets team is giving the Lakers team a hard time to score.
I am thinking they want to secure the 7th spot to avoid playing against the Bucks.
Both Magic and Nets have 30 wins now. It might be possible that they want Raptors to be their head to head foe rather than the Bucks.
They might have a higher percentage of a winning chance against them.

That Last shot by Davis was so closed, it's Nets luck since it didn't convert to bucket,. Lebron can easily send the game to overtime not sure why he
chooses to pass the ball back to Davis and take the gamble to win or lose game.
Not an expert but just saying, though it's the play maybe from the coaching staff take the gamble of finishing the game much quicker.

I think Lakers was too complacent, they were the heavy favorites here playing at home, so the expectation is for them to win easily since this Nets team is without Durant and Irving, but its okay, its just one of the bad games lakers will experience this season, what matters is they still stay on top and they continue beating good teams as that's what matters a lot in the playoffs.

On the other side, Giannis, Bledsoe and Middleton are not there to help the team against the Nuggets. It's not hard to analyze if this 3 superstars are not playing.

They have given that as a gift, when I check the scoreboard I thought Giannis played but I realize it was his brother.
Anyway, I think they'll be back in their next scheduled game, but hopefully we will see it per schedule and it will not be postpone due to COVID-19 scare.

As for me, I am rooting on them on their next game, they have lost twice in a row and they are the best team so they'll bounce back for sure.

I think it is always hard for any team to lose their superstar and suddenly keep going to win. You have to get adjusted to play without your superstar to be decent at least, no team could continue to be as good as they are without the superstar, of course they will get worse but they need a bit of time to adjust to reach that 100% potential they could be without the superstar as well. Give them 10 games without Giannis and they will reach a place where they are still worst than when they are with Giannis but they would be better than their current situation as well.

Look at raptors for example, they got enough time to be a team and right now they are still decent, surely not as good as when they had Kawhi and will probably not go to finals again this year, but they didn't suddenly start sucking and become horrible neither.

Before Leonard, Lowry is there and he's the real main man of the team though since Lebron still in the east Raptors unable to advance to the finals.
This team still playing the same coach and same system, players are adopting and make it materializing from how they wanted the outcome of each
games.

On the other side, Giannis, Bledsoe and Middleton are not there to help the team against the Nuggets. It's not hard to analyze if this 3 superstars are not playing.

This may be weird but I'm currently rooting for Boston Celtics to get on the final with lakers and if they win that championship game, Tacko Fall will have the huge success of his life in the NBA. in the playoff anything can happen.

It's ok to root to your desired team. We have our own favorites in the first place.

However, in case that happens, I don't see that as a huge success of Tacko Fall's NBA life. His name is just a part of the Boston Celtics roster but without any contribution, he will not feel literally the experience of being a champion.

And I'm not also sure if a player under a two-way contract will also own a championship ring even they are officially listed on the roster as in the case of Tacko, he mostly played in G-League.
