Have you read it? One snippet:

Not the entire thing in detail:

NBA outlines health and safety protocols for 2020-21 season | NBA.com

 

The youngins are going to have to go old school, and bring the party back to their place.  And tell all invitees that you absolutely CANNOT take videos of anything going on in the house. NO snapchat, instagram, not even a damn selfie.

This generation loves to broadcast everything that they do in social media, so this will be extra hard for them.  Even Harden couldn't resist it.

If Cam Reddish goes to Publix to get some chicken tenders is he now placed in the protocol? It seems kind of arbitrary. 

Depends on how willing he is to share them scrumptious potato wedges!

So, is Cam allowed to go to Publix to get chicken tenders?

He was out in a public place though. His punishment.

It didnt mention grocery stores among the no-gos.

Loving the effort of this game. 

I told ya'll, we got a chance to be a freakish switching team defensively. I am loving what we are seeing. I want our defense to be the same against Memphis. No open shots.

Personal Life lesson: Never break two laws at the same time. Harden broke two rules at the same time. He didn't report to work and got spotted breaking protocol. Coming in fat makes three if you want to get technical about it. He was begging for a suspension so he should be glad he only got fined. Just flat out unprofessional behavior all around.

Damn . . . he'll lose almost a million dollars if he misses a few more games.

WOW!!

 

That's what the NBA has to do though.  They can't give a pass to anybody. Not even their stars.

I still dont understand why sports leagues, which largely comprise of young healthy athletes, need Covid testing, precautions and redundancies that go above and beyond hospitals and nursing homes.

He missed training camp and was going to parties and strip clubs.  Now the day before the season starts he's at a pool party.  He has shown no concern for his team and the NBA as a whole. Should have been suspended, because he was very deliberate.

(Edit: Sorry--didn't see this info had been posted earlier. But it's worth savoring a little more anyhow, right?   I thought both 2019 first rounders' defense was purty darn impressive tonight overall, too. And dang, I hate these Macy's Thanksgiving Parade sized emoticons.)

He would have been fired a week ago in any other profession.

 These guys are swapping bodily fluids for 48 minutes. Can these guys maintain the 6 foot distance or wear PPE while playing?  Then it's not like they don't have families to go home to after the game.

The Rocket games was cancelled (not because of Harden), but another player tested positive and several other players who were in close contact with him was at a barber shop and had to be tested and isolated.  Do you think those guys want to go home to their families tonight?

Most of the younguns dont even like to party..Theyre still playing video games in their spare time...

This entire sequence was outstanding.

Huerter knew where his defensive help was, and ran his man toward Bogi and Bruno, who ends up losing the ball.

Bruno catches the ball in the air while jumping, and his eyes immediately lock onto Solomon. He's passing the ball to Hill even before he lands back to the floor.

Once Hill passes it to Goodwin, they immediately have a 3 on 1 fast break. 

Most coaches will tell guys for the PG to stay in the middle to attack the defender, but Goodwin stays to the left side and lets Bruno fill the middle, and Hill fill the far wing.

Perfect bounce pass to Bruno for the loud dunk.

I felt Bruno's defense was outstanding today.
