One of those three teams will surely win the championship. I can't see any team in the East taking the healthy Bucks side to 7 games.CrazyIslander wrote:Lakers have beaten Bucks and Clippers within a few days. Looking good to take the title.
IDK if they'd win the series but I wouldn't sleep on the Raptors. I daresay this vintage is just about as good as last year's team; Siakam is a legit top ten player, Lowry and FVV provide excellent direction, even the likes of Norman Powell just won player of the week on the back of a three game stretch where he averaged 31 points. Everybody's stepping up.Tehui wrote:One of those three teams will surely win the championship.

Even so, they were all firing last year but still needed Kawhi to produce MVP level performances to win it.fonzeee wrote:IDK if they'd win the series but I wouldn't sleep on the Raptors.

And for the Warriors to get injured. Not that they have my sympathy. They won plenty of championships against rivals who were injured.CrazyIslander wrote:Even so, they were all firing last year but still needed Kawhi to produce MVP level performances to win it.fonzeee wrote:IDK if they'd win the series but I wouldn't sleep on the Raptors.

https://twitter.com/jgsiegel/status/1237901982519574528Royce Young is reporting on ESPN that the Thunder's head doc came "sprinting" out to the court moments before tip and that the belief is that it's related to the players involved in this game.
Probably not related to that particular juvenile act but stillHe fell ill 2 days later
Following Rudy Gobert's positive COVID-19 test, the NBA is in an indefinite suspension.
Wow, the right move for sure.Marshall Banana wrote:Gobert has been confirmed to have it.

Following Rudy Gobert's positive COVID-19 test, the NBA is in an indefinite suspension.
Prior to tip-off as the game was delayed, Chris Paul ran over to the Utah bench and said “what’s wrong with Rudy?” and they all yelled for him to get away. Now all the players are quarantined in their locker rooms, being tested for the virus.

Following Rudy Gobert's positive COVID-19 test, the NBA is in an indefinite suspension.
There's been reports that Gobert was clowning around and purposefully touching things/people in the locker room (much like he did with the microphones in a press conference a couple of days ago) and that other players are pissed at him. He must be feeling like a real dick right now, but it's probably done the general public a service as a lot more people will realise that the protocols are there for a reason and it's only funny until all of a sudden it's not.Tehui wrote:Donovan Mitchell (Utah Jazz) is also reported to have the Coronavirus. Damn.
Yeah - I've immensely enjoyed this season.Jay Cee Gee wrote:Also, if this turns out to be the end of the season and they don't resume at all, it'll be a damn shame as it has been AWESOME.
There are like 11 or 12 genuinely interesting teams to watch and although only 3 or 4 could realistically win a chip, seeing the Rockets do ultra small ball, the Thunder actually be competitive, the Raps stay competitive or the Sixers and Celts be up and down, it's been fun as f*ck watching this season.
It really does suck, especially now that we've all got way more free time.Jay Cee Gee wrote:Also, if this turns out to be the end of the season and they don't resume at all, it'll be a damn shame as it has been AWESOME.

Silver's just announced that they'll be off at least 30 days. He could renege but he's a pretty straight shooter so I'd take him at his word unless the situation drastically improves.CrazyIslander wrote:It will resume next week I bet. Probably with no crowds for a week then it's back to normal.

Baseball is looking at playing games in empty stadiums in the Phoenix area. Makes a lot of sense as they already have all the Spring Training facilities there and lots of options for games. I think the NBA is looking at Vegas as there are a number of quality venues there and they could probably get one of the major hotel/casinos to just be a compound with basically no one in, no one out except for buses to the arenas. Basketball is in a tough spot, though, because how do you go from basically offseason to playoff intensity in a matter of weeks?TheBouncer wrote:It would have to extend way beyond summer to call this season off imo, 60 games played is just too many and the ramifications are too great. That would be one shot gone at Milwaukee keeping Giannis for instance.
I really really really hope they can figure something before long.
Feel for Pippen, but his anger was misdirected. A 7 year contract in any sport is surely a bad idea - go ask SBW and the Bulldogs.Shrekles wrote:It is great so far - MJ is not coming out of it as poorly as described but Scottie is looking like a selfish prick all because he f**ked up his contract.
Jordans dad was killed in 3rd title run - that was also when his gambling addiction became big news and arguably pushed him into baseball.Tehui wrote:Feel for Pippen, but his anger was misdirected.

Apparently, episodes 3 & 4 focus on Dennis Rodman and Phil Jackson.
I wonder how the documentary will approach Jordan's father getting murdered. It was such a tragic way for a person to go and it must have had a massive impact on Jordan. Yet he kept his composure in front of the cameras that surrounded him daily.
