    The world might. But I doubt the NBA does.

    I imagine there are a lot of people in a lot of countries that are pretty pissed off with the Chinese government right now.

    That camera operator could have been you or me LT! Are camera operators more prone?

    This thing has spread so much, I don’t think I’m willing to blame Gobert for the cameraman. Could have been the other way around.

    But seriously though, I want to know how Gobert and pretty much all the public figures who tested positive are feeling. I’m very curious to hear how the symptoms progress over time between different people. Wonder if the people who first said they were asymptomatic like Donovan Mitchell have now started feeling it.

    This is awful, there’s no way they’d do this.
    I’d rather they cancel the season than crown a champion on single elimination games, it goes against too much tradition.

    Do not like this at all. Keep it a multi game series than single elimination. Too much of a chance that some team who shouldn’t be in the finals gets there. Plus it eliminates the intrigue of what adjustments a team may make during the course of a series. This isn’t college, this is professional basketball. Keep it that way.

    They're resorting to single-elimination because they're only using two arenas for the playoffs. They need more arenas to play these games.

    Here's my idea. Move the playoffs to LA. We have Staples Center, Pauley Pavilion, Galen Center, and the Honda Center, where the Clippers used to play. There's even a smaller arena in Ontario where Lakers-Warriors preseason games were played too.

    Some might say, "that gives the Lakers home court advantage". Nobody is going to these games during this crisis, and if they were, Vegas would be roaring with Laker fans driving in from LA, just like they do during the summer league.

    Nobody wants to see at least 3 Lakers Grizzlies but only 1 Lakers Clippers game . WTF

    At least make it both best of the 5 for both the Conference and NBA Finals

    I'm convinced sports makes some decisions knowing that it sparks debate and attention. This will do that.

    Why not? That would make it seven venues in total. Perfect.

    Can the Forum even host basketball anymore? I think it's exclusively a concert venue now.
