    Rumors Circulating NBA might be canceled for the year

    There’s no upside and then if one player gets corona it’s called off anyway for the rest of the year

    Everything sports related is cancelled for a very long time.. Get use to it.. UFC on an island with pre-testing and fighters being isolated during training can't even happen now..

    NBA, NHL, MLB it's all done for a good year I think as long as Corona still lingers.. Better just hope our economy reboots and starts again or we are all screwed!!

    Social distancing and wearing masks make it a law I say.. Restart and reboot everything ASAP!!....

    Good nba is trash anyway. The players need the time off to truly appreciate how lucky they are that people watch grown men throw an orange ball into a hoop 100 times a game

    If owners and nbpa can work out the logistics and medical risks there is no reason games can’t begin sometime in May. Playoff spots were mostly set prior to stoppage. I think each conference had some clusters in 3-6 spots.

    If you come back, cut the regular season to 70 games. Most teams have already played 64-65 games. Those final games can finalize seeding and knock off some rust. Run playoffs best of 3 rd 1 best of 5 rd 2 and best of 7 for conf and nba champ. Max games any team would play is 28. Season could be done by late July.

    Nba and nhl should use this time to consider permanently reducing their regular seasons by 10-14 games. Work out any scheduling conflicts at arenas w concerts, Disney on ice shit etc...Hawks ownership presented strong reasons for starting season Christmas Day and avoiding so much head to head with nfl. Having playoffs in July and Aug competing w mlb is a no brainer. I think a shortened season will produce a better product for fans.

    I agree. And anyone thinking any major sports are played before august are simply in la-la land. Dreaming. Don't understand big picture. Not thought leaders.

    The enormity of the situation is so phukking obvious now that anyone who minimizes it is intellectually inferior.

    It's very simple - Until mass testing is available we remain in lock down.

    Until vaccines we don't go back to life as we know it ie movie theaters, malls, concerts, sporting events, conventions. Etc

    sports wont be back until a vaccine is found

    I do think some of these businesses need to be able to operate on appointment only basis though, we cant have everything closed for another 8-12 months

    No we can't!!! The way I see it now is look how the grocery stores are opened and operated and how people are social distancing and wearing masks in those. It seems to be working.. I don't see why non essentials businesses that are closed now can't try and do the same..

    I can see dentist offices, optometry offices, haircut establishments, etc. still being a problem though. In your face businesses still needs to be shut down until further notice.

    I think we could even re-open restaurants with spacing and body limit counts inside.. Wear masks until eating.. All other non essential business where there isn't crowding and in your face operations should Absolutely be open very soon!!!

    I guess if you wear a mask at a game it is safe

    Maybe make it a requirement?

    I'm seeing on the news many major athletes are now reporting to be out of game shape and would need a month of practice to play at a high level again..
