2021 NBA regular season thread

So that makes it ok?

Weren’t you only just complaining about the NBA canceling so many game?

Shit like that is the reason why.

Nah you're making assumptions. You have zero proof that any of positive cases in the NBA came from a player out at a bar or club so stop throwing that narrative out there.

You can't control what a player do in the offseason so as I said before Harden going to a club is irrelevant. He was forced to quarantine and have a negative test for about a week before he was allowed in camp.

No they weren’t Harden was fined $50k. That’s hardly a penalty to him. Fine him 100x as much and see how many more games get cancelled.

He had to quarantine for 4 days and of course test negative each of those days. You're still making assumptions that the players who tested positive are not following the protocols which shows nearly a year in, you still don't understand covid-19.

Which led to a game being postponed, correct? If Harden hadn’t fucked up the Rockets would have the minimum amount of players needed to play the game.

I wouldn’t start playing the “you don’t know how COVID works“ game when not too long ago you were adamant the NBA wouldn’t continue last season and you were sure it was impossible to play football this year.

You‘re making more excuses than a White House staffer.

Not true actually. The bigger issue with the Rockets was several of their players got haircuts in an apartment and one of them tested positive which led to multiple players being out for contact tracing.

Because getting group haircuts in a pandemic is totally cool, right?

Yeah about the same but his FT shooting is taking a tumble. Wow

With random people? No

With people you know are getting tested everyday? No big deal and wasn't against the NBA covid protocol at that time.

I really wonder if he work with a shooting coach. I know he put in the work to improve but without a shooting coach, all of his hard work in the offseason is likely going to waste.

I think i prefer the lakers repeat over Brooklyn winning a title

Again with the excuses.

Unbelievable.

At this point you’re blaming everybody but the players for games being postponed

 

[tlance]

... and then there are videos and photos of players in bars and clubs

There are almost 500 players on active rosters.

Of course some are going to break the rules. Some have.

But like I said, you are assuming everyone who is sick broke the rules and that isn’t right.

good ass game in Brooklyn

Assuming healthy rosters, if the Nets make the Finals (I'm still not sure I see that) the Lakers will be pretty heavy favorites.
