Regular Degular Redux - 2019-20 NBA Season thread 2

pro athletes will prob all be asymptomatic anyway

Don’t even get to say a proper goodbye to Zion!

seems like just yesterday when lebron said he'd be willing to 'listen' if the league took measures

You mock the corona in public, you get it. It’s a new rule.

All 30 NBA teams can be connected in just the last 5 days.

OK so Fred Hoiberg maybe has coronavirus — quarantined one a hospital while the Nebraska players are quarantined in their locker room awaiting his test results...

He was coaching entire game looking like he was at deaths door

People aren’t smart

Could just be a nasty flu but...

Shouldn't be around ppl w a flu either

hoiberg? who he coach for?

oh not the nba haha

I keep letting myself get mad about that Gobert press conference clip

It’s just unbelievable. The most surreal thing that’s happened during this.

Probably life/career-altering for him.

A really big charitable contribution would help a lot

Jazz star Donovan Mitchell has tested positive for the coronavirus, league sources tell ESPN. Jazz players privately say that Rudy Gobert had been careless in the locker room touching other players and their belongings. Now a Jazz teammate has tested positive.

Yeah he’s fucked

christ

wow

rudy thought he was cute

Mudiay has it too?

Apparently Gobert looked clearly sick in their last game

great

not great

irregular degular

We got a full Boban Game and Vince hit the last shot of his career, pretty cool

neat how the jazz were able to get access to 58 tests

First Take is wall to wall Rudy Gobert

am I being crazy for thinking the league should seriously consider suspending him for the rest of the season, assuming play does resume? I imagine that could stir up shit with the players union though.

the public shame is probably punishment enough

I mean when Woj rolls with the "privately players are saying" type tweet ppl are seriously angry behind the scenes

but yeah, it's such an odd act how do you classify in terms of suspension?

I don’t think he should be suspended. Bigger fish to fry rn.

Not sure how they can suspend him right now I mean I guess they could fine him 50k and make him play five games.

kind of remarkable that there was only one other positive test

yeah he's gonna be publicly shamed enough j0 otm. he may be treated like deangelo russell was for a while

Charitable donation. He’s had it now so he can do all the volunteering you could imagine.

Bunch of NCAA conference tourneys canceled, including Big 10 and SEC

Gotta figure it’s only a matter of time before the big dance goes bye bye

ACC still going on

Jay Williams went in on them, him and Matt Barnes have both been good this morning

Barnes appears on ESPN lately?

yeah he's been on quite a bit today, both First Take and Get Up

gobert was just acting like a doofus, not intentionally trying to hurt people. he's undoubtedly going to be synonymous with a pandemic for the rest of his life.

I'm kind of over idiots putting other ppl at risk

there are bigger idiots putting more people at more risk than gobert, even if you just confine it to "things that happened last night"!

but yes, he was acting casually like a doofus. i guess there but for the grace of god? i'm terrified of being a vector for this shit.

his is probably the most high profile person at this point

I mean fine he's not Hitler but I could really give not a single solitary shit about poor Rudy Gobert

he's a dumb rich person who is already receiving the best possible medical care

he was ready to play last night...
