NBA Season Part 2: Life In The Orlando Bubble

the forum is strictly a concert venue. would not be able to host bball

also, the la memorial sports arena where the clips used to play was demolished a few years ago and replaced by a soccer stadium where that other LA mls team plays

 

can't see it because you probably don't want to be in highly populated areas.

 

I don't buy into the population density argument for containing spread. What matters more is how people transport.

In SoCal, most people drive in their own cars. Sure, there are some do public transit, but cars are how it's done here. Your best chance of getting COVID-19 is at a gas pump or at LAX. Since NBA players take private charter jets, and have a private bus taking them to the empty arena and back to the hotel, I doubt they'll be in anymore significant danger than they would be in Vegas.

 

The season is over, accept it. Im not sure we'll see any ball this year... or that all of us will still be here
Im freakin out "a bit".

 

Today USA will get more than 100 K cases confirmed .Kiss the season good bye...
Breaking news:
Doris Burke joins The Woj Pod to reveal she's tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. She details her symptoms, her hospital testing experience, recovery and goal of sharing importance of social distancing and other measures underway to combat pandemic

 

I feel for Ox. This has to be devastating for him.

Kidding aside, I hope she recovers. She's one of the few people working for BSPN that I can stand listening to.

 

Also can't use the training facility. The camera setups would be all off. Wouldn't look familiar.

 

NEW YORK -- James Dolan, the owner of the New York Knicks and New York Rangers, has tested positive for the coronavirus, his NBA team said in a statement Saturday night.

 

***suppresses urge to something terrible***

 

the only problem is that every major city that would be able to handle this has been hit hard by CV

 

Yeah, but I think the “bubble” aspect of it is what accomplishes the goal. It’s not about finding a Corona-free city. It’s about quarantining the league so they can all interact with each other without spreading the virus.

 

Vegas?

 

Yes, Vegas is known to be certified disease free

Wimbledon is canceled. Doesn't bode well for the NBA since the Wimbledon is essentially the first two weeks of July. Then again, the All England Club made clear they would not go forward without fans in attendance, and that's not a prereq for the NBA.
