Yeah I don't hate russ I actually like him. Was more a tongue in cheque comment probably more in amazement that a team that lost their two all stars is doing better then when they had them.

I use to be an unjustified lbj hater mainly from the announcement and also because my best mate was Miami fan before he went there so I had to keep character and bag lbj and call my mate bandwagon fan.

What do you think will happen when? Adams contract ends. It's set when lots of big names are free agents.he could be a good support piece at a contender....i guess what he was previously.

@Magpie_in_aus Adams is a big man with soft hands. If he stays relatively free of injury he will be a desirable commodity albeit on a lesser contract

[Magpie_in_aus]

@canefan yeah I think his contract landed him stuck in okc but the dude still puts in a egoless effort. Would be a crowd favorite in a big name team (already is in okc). Pretty hard to dislike him...unless you run into his screen.

The Lakers then lose to an undermanned Nets team at home...

Season suspended, reports say.

[Salacious Crumb]

Yup, official. Season is supended after tonights games. Developing...

Un-friggin-real.

New York Times:

N.B.A. Suspends Season After Player Tests Positive for Coronavirus

The league said the suspension would begin after Wednesday night’s games.

Crazy scenes as the Jazz v Thunder game was called off seconds before tip off, and then another game because a ref had officiated in the previous Jazz game. And Rudy Gobert had joked about corona virus only a few days prior!

[raznomore]

Have a friend in the US watching his son finish out his senior year. Big sky conference tournament called off like all the others and they only had one game left.

[Bovidae]

The NCAA basketball tournaments have been cancelled now.

Donovan Mitchell has been diagnosed as well. If it gets to Jingling Joe Ingles I'm retreating to my bunker.

[Bovidae]

Gobert has been a real idiot with his behaviour. Has anyone read how he was infected?

Players from the other 5 teams that the Jazz played in the last 10 days have been told to self-isolate.

@Bovidae
NHL suspends their season, too.

And Major League Baseball is postponing start of season by two weeks (at least).

He was carrying on a bit, but I don't know if anyone has actually alleged that's how he was infected.

[Bovidae]

@barbarian I'm not suggesting anything improper, and was thinking more a family member returning from France etc.

Reading a story on ESPN Gobert's antics in the locker room have very likely led to Mitchell's positive test.

He made a few jokes about it but by the sounds of things he was largely asymptomatic. I don't think you can be too critical of him. It wasn't like he was running around the Jazz locker room coughing and sneezing all over other players.

I do enjoy the Hubris of that muppet getting infected regardless. For those who didn’t see it, this was him leaving a presser before being diagnosed - touching every mic in the room.

A total knob for doing that. Maybe he got it from tapping a journalists’ microphone. That would be some comeuppance, but I wish no illness on anybody - even knobs.
