The not giving a shit part is true for my State.

It's exploding here.

Like I said I'd be willing to bet your rates of infected people was much lower and now that everything is open people are just going on as if nothing happened where states that had a much higher rate of infection are still being more careful.

That's two big things working against states like arizona

Fuck no.

Scottsdale is a Petri dish.

You've mentioned in the past that Scottsdale's a problem. That's too bad. Wonder where the country would be if everyone would take this virus with the seriouness it deserves?

 

[tlance]

Where?

Plus, I think it's too late for that.

The Logistics of this thing has to be a nightmare.

Having 14 teams in one Hotel proves that.

Now Imagine trying to find that kind of accommodation with courts, rooms, food, security elsewhere in a month?

Courts aren’t a problem.

They could literally play in any college arena.

I agree it may be too late if there isn’t already an alternative in the works. I don’t really like Vegas either, but it is better than Orlando in the minds of the players for multiple reasons.

Given that it's a hard bubble I am legitimately confused why they didn't choose Vegas.

Had to run to the grocery store this morning. There's a sign clearly posted that you have to wear a mask while in the store. Well there was one dumbass without one. An employee kindly told him he needed a mask he lost his shit.

Started yelling at this poor girl for doing her job. Saying and I quote- "Trump doesn't wear a mask. I'm not wearing a mask!" The manager walked over and told him to get out of the store. Now WTF is that?

This is exactly what we mean by calling out Trump for being a shitty leader. But his apologists say none of what he says or tweets matters.

The Walt Disney Company

The Walt Disney Company

I reckon that's a rather obvious answer lol

This pretty much sums things up. March 13- when asked if he takes any responsibility for how the virus was handled from the beginning. "I don't take any responsibility at all."

Not sure, but possible more courts in closer proximity in the Orlando complex?

Good question. Maybe Vegas said they weren't interested?

@Peter Gozintite

With the NBA starting up next month in Orlando was Vegas ever an option?

Think how much more healthy behaviors would be happening in Trumpistan if he was all "ok this matters, everyone wear masks indoors in public".

The mask thing. Makes sense to wear one when in public. I always do. Why won't he, does he thinks it makes him look weak or something?

I think the NHL has its eyes on Vegas as well

They should

So yesterday a friend was having lunch at a Cracker Barrel. There were 4 policeman there eating. My friend witnessed a middle aged black man walk up to them, take their ticket and buy their lunch. The policeman were surprised and thankful of course. I want to hear from people like that guy, there are more of them than people think. Good people that know not everyone is bad.

They talked about it. I think there was no way to quarantine everyone, with the casinos opening back up. They were considering it, but I think Vegas has too much international traffic.

Wasn't aware of that. I tagged peter because he lives in Vegas. He'll be able to tell us if Vegas was ever an option for the NBA.

Thanks for the info. I knew you'd know more about it than me.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

This is more off the court stuff but since this thread is more active today...


The best decision Trump has made in his presidency is hiring this press secretary. I can watch her with the sound off all day.

NHL was talking about it too, but I dont see how there would be enough ice. T Mobile, Orleans, and the Knights practice ice is all there is here. they are pretty spread out too.
