NBA Suspending Season

In following the news this past week it sounds like the NBA would likely cancel the remaining regular season games and start a 16 team playoff in one location - Las Vegas.  Not sure if fans would be allowed to attend or what the format would be but Adam Silver has hinted at this concept.  

It would be good news and bad news for the Bucks.  A neutral site with no fans negates the sizable advantage the Bucks have playing at home at Fiserv Forum.  On the other hand, limiting number of games could help Milwaukee as guys like Giannis wouldn’t get pounded and worn down as we saw last year v Toronto. 

Doesn't it figure this shit would happen when the Bucks are in the midst of potentially the greatest season in franchise history?

It’s such a Bucks thing to have happen 

Another concern is if they choose to shorten up the series from best of 7 to best of 5 or 3.   If games are played on a neutral court you run a greater risk of a team upsetting a higher seed.  

It’s also extremely unlikely any team in the East would beat Milwaukee 4 out of 7 games which would mean the opponent would win at least a couple of game in Milwaukee’s home court.   

They talked about shortening the first round, but not after that. 

But this definitely is a Bucks thing to happen.

That’s really awful.  

This Virus does not discriminate - Stay the FUCK at home (That means YOU, Zeke Elliott & Dak Prescott....and preachers who claim they're going to preach no matter what. 

Sit home & wait for R & D to come up with treatment or a cure.

Stay Safe, Stay Hydrated, don't gather in groups

This is just wild: Some experts think that the 49ers blowing their Super Bowl lead could have saved lives, because the loss kept SF from hosting a championship parade a few days later that could've spread the virus https://t.co/32d1UT8QnT

I must have lucked out that week as well. I spent that entire week in SF for work and we went to numerous places downtown.  

Meetings this week between the owners and another between the star players see some momentum for a return of the season this summer:

Nice to see Giannis get some nods as one of the attendees:

Chris Paul

Anthony Davis

Kevin Durant

Giannis Antetokounmpo

Kawhi Leonard

Stephen Curry

Damian Lillard

Interesting that James Harden wasn’t in the meeting. 

Agreed.  Good to see Giannis included.  

Hopeful they can get this done 

Game on....Maybe
