Man, watching Inside the NBA in the studio again just makes me realize how much I missed basketball.

And the turnaround is going to be short because we back in Dec

Basketball is better when there is no downtime

Who else finds the NBA virtual fan presentation kinda weird.

I'm so happy to have the TNT crew back clowning on each other.

Yeah, it's basically a month of downtime until training camp starts up again, and then back to the races. Even the downtime will be exciting because of the draft and free agency.

Now we just have to hope nothing happens to the bubble.

Zion is just plain fun to watch.

So far so good with the bubble but I fully expect everyone to act a fool once they leave the bubble which could hurt things if people get the virus cine next season

If the virus isn't spreading as hard as it was by Dec I can see them having the bubble as a backup too and just having the teams play at home which will be risky

He was def worth the hype

He's not just a dunker like Blake was which is why when Zion athleticism starts to fail him, he won't fall off a cliff tho he might have LeBron freak genetics and not lose a noticeable step

I think there is a strong chance they begin the 2020-21 season in a bubble, unless we somehow get a vaccine before then. Hopefully a bubble is not required all season, though. The risk obviously is that all it takes is one careless person to put everyone, and the season, at risk. We just have to hope they can survive 3 months, and then reassess from there.

I know the running joke is that the schedule format was done partly to give Zion a chance to make the playoffs, but not gonna lie, I want to see the Pelicans/Lakers in the first round. Make it happen.

There is no way they have this type of bubble for an entire season atleast not in one singular location because some of these players can barely do the 3 months...an entire season from their wives...and in alot of cases side pieces would kill'em lol.

Adam Silver: Good news. We will expand the bubble and you can bring your families

Harden: F***. What about the hoes?

Adam Silver is so player friendly he'd probably set up a bubble for wives, and build a makeshift strip club somewhere in the facility.

Lakers could ran them out the building early but Clippers got right and brought the game back to manageable

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]
