2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

[tlance]

I'm just asking, has any single player said "yeah I got Covid and man that was rough"?

All I see is people like Mitchell and Gobert saying they didn't even know they had it. Come on, tlance. These are medical facts, young healthy people who get Covid almost never suffer anything major from it.

Almost never isn’t never.

And even then, it is totally irrelevant. Because like I said, a positive test during once the playoffs starts is likely a season ended for that player.

Depends how early he gets it and how far his team goes. 14 days or so...

But yes, almost never isn't never. People almost never die in car accidents too, and we all drive every day.

I just don’t think there is anything the NBA can do until China is governed differently.

Oh, I agree.

But, LeBron basically told Morey to " Shut up and make trades".

How's that differ from what Ingraham said to him?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

At this point it's whatever

We expect our basketball players to be more insightful than our politicians and business leaders.

And please for the love of God keep that oaf in the white house out of this on China.

Come on Mecca....elderly and compromised....I said it

I'm not trying to go all dtgold getting hung up on word...lol

It's very naive to think this way given how fluid this situation is.

We won't know the true affects for YEARS.

Not to go all tin foil hat...

But, for all we know, the shit could make you sterile, grow hair on your Fucking eyeballs 5 years down the line.

* Hyperbole*

I bet the creators of lead paint didn't see that shit coming and how many millions of homes used asbestos products that were deemed safe?

How many more stories about seemingly healthy people dying from this shit do you need to see before you believe it can happen?

In fairness, look how wrong folks were about HIV.

They went crazy burning down houses, firing peopke, kicking kids outta school because they thought you could get it from a Fucking pencil, sitting in the same chair, playing basketball and coming in contact with sweat.

All wrong and a overreaction.

So, it goes both ways.

You don't know the long-term affects and neither do I.

So, I'm not going to shit on any of these guys if they don't want to play because of it.

It's their lives we don't get to decide if it should be a concern for them or not.

Protesting is different.

People bashing the NBA for not fixing China are just driving an agenda

I'm not bashing them.

I'm saying LeBron is a hypocrite for shitting on Morey for his pro-protest tweet when he does the same in America.

Are we only supposed to feel outrage if it directly affects us?

LeBron doesn't have to say a word of support for the Chinese.

But, the minute he decided to speak against someone who did, he opened himself up for criticism.

bullshit, pointing out blatant hypocrisy is not driving an agenda. I guess you must be looking at property in China or something.

preach it, you are 100 percent correct. Really convenient for these assholes to bash America when they can do it without losing a dime. They show who they really are with this.

Actually I'm the Assistant Undersecretary of the Chinese Communist Party and if you tell anyone you're a dead man.

I'm too lazy to cyber-walk to the Off Court Thread....

But, has everyone watched the McGuire 30 for 30 yet?

IF so, when are we we going to talk about White Sammy Sosa?

Don't let the Political climate ruin the fun of us discussing the fact that this Dude looks like a darker Liberace.
