NBA 2K20 is one of the "free" games next month for PlayStation Plus subscribers. https://blog.playstation.com/2020/06/29/playstation-plus-july-games-lineup-a-thank-you-for-10-years-of-supporting-ps-plus/

Anyone know if there is a list of players sitting out? I think I originally heard they had to decide by June 24.

Might have something to do with the age of the people getting infected. I hear a lot of younger people have been getting infected lately in Florida.

Details about the restart from NBA.com It sounds like the games start at the end of July http://www.nba.com/nba-returns-2020-faq This article lists Fultz as #8 as things they can't wait to watch https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29263805/the-nba-back-here-wait-watch

They are playing game 2 of the 2009 ECFs right now on NBA TV.

Yeah, there is a covid19 topic in the off topic board if anyone wants to talk about it there.

Very well said; I couldn't agree more.

https://sports.yahoo.com/cj-mc-collum-estimates-a-third-of-nba-players-live-paycheck-to-paycheck-184128783.html This doesn't surprise me at all. They should probably take a look at their financial decisions though if they are living paycheck to paycheck. The minimum is like 898 thousand (and that's just for rooks. I think it goes up to 1.4 mil in year 2). I get that It's peanuts compared to the owners, but some Americans make less than 898 thousand in their lifetimes.

Yeah, something like that would be good. Or just take 100% from the owners; I'm sure they'll be fine. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/coronavirus-nba-players-association-investigating-options-for-rapid-blood-tests-to-diagnose-covid-19/ I think it's probably a longshot that we will see more games this season, but I guess it's good they are exploring this.

Fifty percent? They might have to give up their 4th vacation home.

What a misleading article title. How do they say every and then not make a decision for some teams?

Yeah, they lost in 6 games too. We lost in 5, but two of those first three games were really close and the series could've easily been 2-1 in our favor heading into game 4. We also manhandled the Cavs in the ECFs (6 games, but the series wasn't nearly as close as that).

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/carmelo-anthony-says-2009-nuggets-shouldve-won-title-we-wouldve-swept-orlando-that-year/ Yeah Melo, I don't think so.

It would be cool, but the more I think about it the more I'm thinking it probably won't happen. China is delaying bringing back the CBA. https://sports.yahoo.com/chinese-basketball-association-delays-season-restart-due-to-coronavirus-which-is-not-great-for-sports-in-us-153831112.html I just don't think there will be enough time.

NBA League Pass is free now, so you can watch any games.

jec: Did you hear Frusciante rejoined the Peppers? (I'm sure you probably did). I saw them in concert back in the mid 00s when he was still in the band; I'll probably try to see them again when all this coronavirus stuff ends. They were a great band to see live.

Wasn't that basically the plot of Metal Gear Solid 2?

NBA League Pass is free until April 22 if anyone wants to watch old games. The NFL is making theirs free too.

One thing I read said it can be fatal in 2-3.5 percent of people compared to about .1% of people that die of the common flu.
