    I know in the US you lot are in the dark about FACTS, so I'll give you a heads-up. Many European countries are terrified of a 2nd wave, in Autumn, fearing that it will be much worse than the current one.

    The logical solution for the NBA is to carry this season's records into the next one. Aim to play another 82 games by all means, but understand there's a high probability there will be another lockdown.

      no just people who "don't get it" are thinking or saying that.

      doctor birx just said today that social distancing will continue through the summer.

      that affects crowds at sporting events and the players who need to practice and play in close quarters.

      aint happening any time soon.

            This virus will keep everything f'ud up until we have a vaccine. When restrictions ease up we will most likely see increased cases. Too damm contagious.

                Golf is prob the only sport that could function if they just have players play solo and cut each day or something.

                Or the NCAA since they don’t pay players.

                No highly paid athletes will risk making millllllions over a career to play one or two half seasons.

                  Well without the NBA these highly paid athletes will be going broke! Did you not follow the '13 lockout shortened season? The ones on super-max contracts can handle it just fine (sell of a mansion or two) but the lower rung are mostly reckless, living cheque to cheque.

                        I've read so many horror stories about younger , 40's-50's , healthy and active people catching the virus and either dying after a very long fought battle, or miraculously recovering after 30-40 days of what looked like certain death. This whole thing sucks bad.

                          Great idea, let's rebuild every arena, stadium, plane, public bus, etc. to meet these requirements. Should be fairly inexpensive and easy.

                                      Sports leagues coming back in the near future. Too much money on the table not too coupled with the lowered death rate.

                                          The Italian government has set a May 18 date for the return of soccer training. No date has been set for the resumption of the league.

                                          The German Bundesliga is set to resume in May. They claim they want to be the first professional soccer league to return after the pandemic lockdown according to the Washington Post.

                                                        Nobody does, that's my point. But everyone makes a prediction based on zero info; it's crazy.

                                                        Based on the more optimistic medical news (lowering death rates, increased testing and the
                                                        reality of future herd-immunity developing, etc.) I believe we'll have no-live-spectator sports
                                                        this year. That means MLB (shortened season) and a normal NFL season. College BB too...

                                                        I have no idea what Adam Silver will do with the NBA though.

That sometimes takes longer than you would like,and if we let our desire to prematurely get back to normal, we can only get ourselves right back in the same hole we were in a few weeks ago.


                                                                    We’ve got to make sure that when we try to get back to normal, including being able to play baseball in the summer and football in the fall and basketball in the winter, that when we do come back to some form of normality, we do it gradually and carefully. And when cases do start to rebound — which they will, no doubt — that we have the capability of identifying, isolating and contact tracing.
