[Kliq]

Great.

 

[luckiestman]

Everyone that was in the room with Rudy quarantined?

 

[Kliq]

Seriously, in the last five minutes I’ve found out that Tom Hanks and Rudy Gobert have the virus, and now the NBA season is suspended. At this point we will all be dead by midnight.

 

[bluefenderstrat]

It's the right thing to do, unfortunately.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

This sucks. Obviously I understand but this sucks. Reminds me of the feeling I had as a kid in either 2001 or 2002 when the MLB was inches away from a season ending strike. But this is real.

 

[vadertime]

Nothing on espn or nba pages about the season being suspended, just the Thunder game being postponed.

 

[Red Averages]

This is what leadership looks like.

 

[DJnVa]

Nothing on espn or nba pages about the season being suspended, just the Thunder game being postponed.

You don’t trust Shams?

 

[Seels]

This is among the 3-4 craziest things I've heard in my life. Holy shit.

 

[cornwalls@6]

I take it this means suspending the season to see how this plays out, not necessarily cancelling it? I suspect hockey follows suit, and MLB delays start of season indefinitely.

 

[bankshot1]

Is there a source?

suspend the season or just the Thunder/Jazz game, or just a "TO"?

 

[DJnVa]

Stop for month, reevaluate. Maybe just start postseason.

 

[vadertime]

You don’t trust Shams?

Just maybe jumping the gun. If it was at that step, I would think it would be on the nba and/or espn homepages.

 

[DJnVa]

ESPN and Shams have it.

 

[DJnVa]

ESPN just sent me update. It happened.

 

[Average Game James]

You don’t trust Shams?

Woj, Schefter, and others have picked it up too.

 

[bankshot1]

CNN just reported it.

The season's over.

Fuck

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Stop for month, reevaluate. Maybe just start postseason.

Yeah, just occurred to me that if this is the case and it isn't outright canceled this could be just what the hospital Celtics need. But this thread isn't about the Celtics. This is about more than sports. This is wild.

 

[mauf]

Wonder if this was practically necessary due to the number of players who’ve been in contact with Gobert over the past two weeks.

 

[Just a bit outside]

I heard on the radio today that the NBA was inquiring about stadium availability in July in case they had to suspend the season.

 

[Brand Name]

Gobert doesn't need to be that good at blocking.

 

[DJnVa]

CNN just reported it.

The season's over.

Fuck

No. It’s suspended. Not over.

 

[Wingack]

Amazing.

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

To make this shitshow complete, I'll wake up to having no more job and be dead by the time the Celts/Bucks were to tip off. Fuck me.

 

[brandonchristensen]

This is how we get through the Gerrit Cole Yankees.

One suspended season at a time.

 

[bankshot1]

Cuomo on CNN just amended with "until further notice".

 

[DJnVa]

This is how we get through the Gerrit Cole Yankees.

MLB cancels season, Betts FA, resigns in Boston.

 

[luckiestman]

I like this. We need a lot of humor in these times.

 

[DJnVa]

Cuomo on CNN just amended with "until further notice".

That’s on you for watching CNN

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Rest that knee, Kemba

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Does this decision influence whether the NCAA tournament occurs, even with zero spectators? I feel like it does.

 

[Gash Prex]

Makes sense - see where things are at and go from there

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

So several Celtics probably have it after playing the Jazz last week.

 

[BaseballJones]

Does this decision influence whether the NCAA tournament occurs, even with zero spectators? I feel like it does.

Yeah I’m thinking that the NCAA tourney isn’t likely to actually happen at this point.

 

[TripleOT]

Is this to spare Vince Carter?

 

[Reardon's Beard]

This fucking sucks.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I don’t mean to be selfish/minimize anything but I am gonna lose my fuckin mind working from home every day and no ball or hockey waiting for me come 7 o’clock.

Netflix and chill, I guess.

 

[TripleOT]

I was thinking today if I was going to go to the Cs game next Wednesday. Adam Silver made the decision for me

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

It's going to be a long several months.

 

[RedOctober3829]

FWIW, the Celtics have played the Jazz twice recently. Test everyone, Wyc.

 

[terrynever]

The 76ers thought their season was suspended last November.

 

[Red Right Ankle]

A single candle shining in the depths of the night, this post.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Maybe, but they’d likely have minimal if any symptoms and would be recovered by the time they restart. Assuming they restart.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

I'd rather not. Let The people with symptoms get the tests. If you haven't heard, we have a crisis of a shortage of them available to the public.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

It's absolutely because I'm a shell of a human being, but my life has become much more unbearable knowing this, and what's sure to follow with baseball and the tourney.

I stared out the window, waiting for spring, only to find it all to be a season cancelled. Fucking hell.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Maybe, but they’d likely have minimal if any symptoms and would be recovered by the time they restart. Assuming they restart.

Yeah, the players will be fine. I'd worry about guys like Mike and Tommy.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Yeah with no sports and no vacations life blows

 

[Cesar Crespo]

Did Mudiay also test positive or do we not know yet?

 

[h8mfy]

My colleagues were just told not to travel to Utah tomorrow for our coverage of the game Friday.
