Dr. Falwell always looked for an opportunity to spread the gospel. I always look for opportunities to "down" the NBA.

And plenty of other things.

So basically you are admitting you are a bitter old man who cannot see the good in anything.

you forgot transfer rules.

[JK37]

I forgot a lot. Was taking too much phone battery to list them all.

We could have a whole thread dedicated to the things he hates and I'm still not sure it would do it any justice.

[adam42381]

May be quicker to just list the things he likes:

Burger King
Softball
SEC
Liberty
Trump
Bicycles

I think that might be it.

There was a players only call this evening and apparantly not everybody is all in on the resuming the season which isn't surprising but will it change anything? We shall see.

I sure hope not.

[Jonathan Carone]

And of course it’s Kyrie leading it.

[thepostman]

I think cooler heads will prevail but it is super annoying.

[Class of 20Something]

In a related tangent. At least the NBA has something working. I'm probably in the minority but I'm siding with the MLB owners. They signed a good faith contract assuming fans would be allowed. Now the players want 100% prorated compensation when they know that the primary revenue stream won't be there. Anyone with a brain knows that any employee anywhere is compensated commiserate with the revenue they bring. The revenue baseball brings has drastically changed. It cannot be expected that the players would make the same. And yet MLB has proposed prorated contracts that do just that.

[JK37]

Third-greatest revenue stream. First is television, second is branded sales.

[Purple Haize]

I haven’t seen this discussed probably because I haven’t paid much attention. But are they still planning on starting the 2020-2021 season on time? Cause that’s a quick turnaround

[Jonathan Carone]

Pushing it back to December 1 I think.

[thepostman]

No. The earliest would be December 1st but I think a Christmas Day start is something a lot of people feel is a good start day. Christmas Day games are always pretty big for the NBA.

[Jonathan Carone]

The NBA has wanted to push back to Christmas Day for a while. This is their chance to do that. Start at Christmas with the playoffs in July/August when they’d have the sports calendar to themselves.

[thepostman]

Yeah. I love the idea and it seems like that is the direction they are heading.

That’s not a bad thought. Football rules the calendar till Thanksgiving. NFL is shifting to playoffs. No one cares about baseball after opening day until playoffs. It could be brilliant

[Jonathan Carone]

It also puts the important part of the season in a time where northern cities aren’t battling snow and ice. Could lead to increased attendance.

[thepostman]

Having the NBA start when football season is wrapping up and finishing the season right before football starts is just fantastic for me on a selfish level. Having basketball and/or football to watch year round is a dream come true for me.

[JK37]

I’m an average watcher of the NBA, only increasing lately now that I live in an NBA locality. That said, the season is too long as it is. Hard to get up for games four months from playoff time when half the league makes the playoffs. And the playoffs take almost two months themselves. Start at Christmas, fine. But going all the way to August just sound like overkill to me. I’ll take my baseball in summer, please and thank you.

[ballcoach15]

April, May, June, July and August is for baseball and softball.
Throw in February and March at college level.

[JK37]

Oh god, it happened again. SMH
