At this point i really dont care about the season, its gone too far with all the postponements, and when do we make these up? The 2nd half of the schedule isnt even out

The second half of the schedule wasn't released because they knew there would be postponements. That's when they'll make up games.

there’s no excuse to lose to this terrible Houston team. They won’t even have John Wall.

Denver on a back to back is tough though.

Detriot and Washington said hi


This team is better than both those teams

I want to complete the season much like last year.

The answer could be returning to a bubble. Waiting for the vaccine might take too long.

That's unlikely given the comments from players such as Lebron who claimed he had PTSD from the experience. I don't know if he was kidding or exaggerating but apparently it was traumatic for those with families.

It's either play through it, postpone it for awhile or await vaccinations.

I think the NBA has already made the decision to play through it so I think that's what we see unless things get really bad.

Maybe they could make some modifications for the bubble concept to make it more acceptable.

IIRC, the G-League is in a bubble. I could tolerate a lot for what NBA players make.

How could the Pistons not keep Christian Wood. He would have looked so good in a Suns uniform.

Thankfully COVID-19 positive stats for players are not as bad as initially feared.

Awful pass from Booker to Ayton. It still went in.

Would prefer Booker start with the midrange rather than walk up 3’s

Booker gets the layup. That should help him get started.

Paul with sloppy passing. Already 3 turnovers.

Suns lead 11-10 at 6:39 1st quarter.

Cleveland beat the Nets tonight in double overtime. The NBA is crazy this season.
