It's jd. 9 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 3: Hello, there is and here we are. 10 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: For what is going to be a very weird edition 11 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: of the No Dunks Podcast. Let's just get right into it. 12 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: This is crazy. The NBA suspended its season last night 13 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: after Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus. 14 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: So the league released a statement quote the NBA suspending 15 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: gameplay following the conclusion of Wednesday's schedule of games until 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: further notice. The NBA will use this hiatus to determine 17 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: next steps from moving forward in regard to the coronavirus pandemic. So, 18 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you guys saw it. I'm sure a lot 19 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: of you listening saw what was going on last night. 20 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: Thunder Jazz. You know they're about to start this game 21 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: and then suddenly there's confusion, what's going on. Both teams 22 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: are then immediately quarantined to their locker rooms. I guess 23 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: the Thunder players eventually left. The Jazz players were tested 24 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: late last night. We're still waiting on the results of 25 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: some of the other Jazz members. Does anybody else on 26 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: this team have it? They didn't play this game? And 27 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: then this statement comes out. And then there was one 28 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: more game that was going to be tipping. It was 29 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: Pelicans Kings. That one eventually postponed because one of the referees, 30 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: Courtney Kirklin, who was scheduled to work that Pelicans Kings game, 31 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: you know, he had just worked a game in Utah 32 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: Raptors Jazz and everyone's like, well, I mean, he can't 33 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: be working this one, and now Gobert has the coronavirus. 34 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: I mean, let's get rid of this game too, So 35 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: they postponed that. So this is where we're at. I 36 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: guess you're takeaway from watching this all unfold in real 37 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: time time last night, which was, you know, pure insanity. Really, 38 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: we've never seen anything like this. 39 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was odd to see other games actually going 40 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 4: on after the Thunder Jazz game was happening in a 41 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 4: perfect world, there would have been zero games happening last night, 42 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 4: and that would they would have all been cleared off 43 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 4: the board and the NBA would have suspended their season. 44 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 4: So there was that sort of feeling of this is 45 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 4: extremely strange. That being said, this is absolutely the right 46 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 4: thing to do, and all teams around the league are 47 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 4: going to quarantine their players. The vendagram of all the 48 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 4: teams having played each other within the last couple of weeks. 49 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 4: When Rudy Gobert could have had the virus in the 50 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 4: last fourteen days, you can have it for fourteen days 51 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 4: until you feel symptoms. So they played the Wizards two 52 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 4: weeks ago. The Wizards, according to Fred Katz, are telling 53 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 4: their players, you got to get quarantined. 54 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: Yea. 55 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 4: The Toronto Raptors, who the Jazz played on Monday, have 56 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 4: told their players, all their personnel, you got to be quarantined. 57 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 4: So that's what's happening in the NBA. And we thought 58 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 4: a couple of days ago, and we talked about the 59 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 4: stopgap measure, which was the reporters being six to eight 60 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 4: feet away from players. We thought, you know, I personally 61 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 4: thought we all talked about it as a stopgap measure. 62 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 4: I thought The only good thing that could come from 63 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 4: that is that a player may not contract it from 64 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 4: a reporter, because then the whole league would shut down. Now, 65 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 4: Rudy Gobert could have got a couple of weeks ago 66 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 4: that could have absolutely been nothing. But now we are 67 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 4: at that position, and. 68 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 2: Here we are. 69 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 4: What is there to say after that other than every 70 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 4: single person in the population really should be getting tested. 71 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 4: But I mean, let's talk about the NBA, because I'm 72 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 4: sure you're tuning in for a bit of a diversion. 73 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: But we'll get to that. 74 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: But you're right, I mean, I saw I think it 75 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: was at stat muse tweeting last night, this idea of 76 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: just how quickly this all spreads, because these teams play 77 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: each other in a contact sport, and you know it's 78 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: a breeding ground any locker room for anything being you know, 79 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: passed around a virus. So all thirty NBA teams can 80 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: be connected in just the last five days. Yeah, you 81 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: can do it like ping ping ping ping ping pingk. 82 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 2: P I water that statue. It's a bit of a 83 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: bit of a stretch. 84 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 4: That doesn't really make sense, that five that whole five 85 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 4: day thing, because they played on Monday. Riego Bert played 86 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 4: Toronto on Monday, but then the ven Diagram says, well, 87 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 4: the Raptors played these teams prior to Monday, So if 88 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,239 Speaker 4: it was from Rudy Gobert, you know what I mean. Yeah, anyways, 89 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 4: but in the last two weeks there was a ven diagram. 90 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 4: There's a lot more people that have it in the world, 91 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 4: and there's a lot more people. 92 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 3: It's not just Rudy Gobert. 93 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 5: There are other guys that have it, and that's why 94 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 5: every team should be quarantined, and I'm sure they will 95 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 5: be by the end of the week. 96 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 3: It honestly felt like the. 97 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 5: Scene in a Contagion movie where you're getting all the 98 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 5: headlines from around the world of crazy things that have 99 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 5: happened with the virus. NBA suspends season, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, 100 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 5: they have it, the President has closed the borders. These 101 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 5: sort of things look like things you would see spinning 102 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 5: onto the screen in the movie about this, and it 103 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 5: was just unbelievable to see them all piling up. And 104 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 5: at least the NBA made the right move to suspend 105 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 5: the season. You know, they could have been like the 106 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 5: NCAA and they're just trying to wait it out, just 107 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 5: trying to wait it out see if there's anywhere they 108 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 5: can still try and get some money out of this. 109 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 5: But that's a stupid way to go about things. So 110 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 5: the key is flattening the curve and this will hopefully happen. 111 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: Right. It just took a player unfortunately actually before but 112 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: I mean that's just how it's going to be the 113 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: big business. 114 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 6: That's what they were trying to do, is just hope 115 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,239 Speaker 6: that it didn't actually hit someone who's an actual face 116 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 6: and a player in the. 117 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: Games could in theory still be played. There's no fans 118 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: in the arena, but yeah, exactly if the season would continue, 119 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: money still made through broadcasting all that yeree. 120 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 6: Even if it was a support staff, I think then 121 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 6: they would have been like, you know what, get that 122 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 6: person away from the team, but everyone else can sort 123 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 6: of continue to play. But I like the fact that 124 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 6: the NBA once this came out with Rudigebert, they didn't 125 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 6: even hesitate. They just said, right, this season suspended, you know, 126 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 6: so I guess that was a contingency plan they had 127 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 6: in place. They probably discussed and said, someone gets it though. 128 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 6: The seasons on hold, and the fact that the Raptors 129 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 6: have advised their players to quarantine for at least fourteen days. 130 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 6: There some indication that we won't be seeing basketball for 131 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 6: a minimum two weeks here. 132 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, you would. 133 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 6: Think so, probably longer. I expect it will be longer. 134 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 6: But we know that you know, and you mentioned that 135 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 6: Fred Katz saying the wizard is the tod day players 136 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 6: four days. Well, clearly if every team isn't ready to go, 137 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 6: this season just cannot resume. 138 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 4: Fourteen day Fred Katz at fourteen days, I. 139 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 6: Think he said only four days. 140 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 4: But anyway, what I may have said four days, but 141 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 4: there's a team in there for sure, there's no there's 142 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 4: no four days four day cure. 143 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 3: Here anyway, whatever, looks the point for everybody. 144 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 6: You know, the point is that you know, we may 145 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 6: not see basketball again this season, but we we possibly will. 146 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: Yeah. 147 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 4: I think Kiven told Rachel Nichols this morning that this 148 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 4: is going to be a suspension and it could go 149 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 4: and you should be ready to players and everybody should 150 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 4: be ready to play into August. 151 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: Yeah. So I thought Windhorse had a great point. I 152 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,679 Speaker 1: saw him writing about this today. Yeah, at the minimum, 153 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: you're rightly, this is going to be two weeks, and 154 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: that's far fetched that we're going to be playing basketball 155 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: two weeks from now. Windhorse says, by comparison, when the 156 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: virus broke out in China, the Chinese Basketball Association, they 157 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: suspended play in late January and they are not even 158 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: back yet, so they are in the process of returning 159 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: here in early April. That's like approximately ten weeks, just 160 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: to use that as an example. So it's gonna be 161 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: longer than two weeks. I think we can agree with that. 162 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: Now. 163 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: There are really like three options when it comes to 164 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: the regular season right with the NBA. In my opinion, one, 165 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: they just cancel it completely. This season is done. There 166 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: is no regular season games to be played, there's no playoffs, 167 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: there's no champion, and it's just a rep and baseball 168 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: strike style. Yeah, and you you know, you obviously let 169 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: the hopefully get the virus under control, forget the leagues 170 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: in North America and the world, and then you know, 171 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: knock on wood, you just start a new season come October. 172 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: I think that's far fetched. I think they're they're in 173 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: a weird way. They're gonna want some sort of ending 174 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: to the season would be odd. So the second option, 175 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: they come back when obviously you know, everyone feels safe 176 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: to do so, be it in front of fans or not. 177 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: But three, four weeks, five weeks, whatever it is, and 178 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: you just pick up where we left off. So we 179 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: play the remaining fifteen to twenty regular season games that 180 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: teams have, and you play the playoffs like you normally would, 181 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: and you have a champion, and everything just gets pushed 182 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: like you're saying, and that we're not deciding a champion 183 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: until you know, August. Now, that would have an effect 184 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: probably on the next season. That's something we talked about yesterday. 185 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: If there was maybe a weird silver lining in all 186 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: this of pushing things back, well, maybe that has an 187 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: impact on next season's idea of like shortening the season 188 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: or not starting till you know, Christmas or into the 189 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: new year, some effect like that. And then the third 190 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: option is they come back in two, three, four, five weeks, 191 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: whatever it is, and there's like a truncated version of 192 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: this regular season or truncated version of the playoffs, best 193 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: of fives in the first round, whatever, and it's you 194 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: still get like a closure to the regular season, and 195 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 1: of course the closure to the playoffs. What do you 196 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: think I mean, does that make sense? To those three options, 197 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: I think those are what they would be, right, Yeah, 198 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: I'm forgetting. 199 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 6: I think I think the third option probably makes the 200 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 6: most sense. Basically, let's say, you know, call it at 201 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 6: sixty games, whatever it is, and then we have the 202 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 6: teams that are in the playoffs, assuming things are ready 203 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 6: to go again by middle of April, when the playoffs 204 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 6: normally start whatever. Yeah, then just play the playoffs as normal. 205 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: So you say, even there's no really regular season games remaining, 206 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: you just call it. Sorry Blazer, sorry Spur, sorry pellas well. 207 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 6: That's the other thing is that you know, there is 208 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 6: probably enough of a gap to say, let's just give 209 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 6: it to the Grizzlies. They've been in that right spot 210 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 6: for the eighth spot. They deserve it, and just start 211 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 6: in April. 212 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: But and so you say just start the playoffs, I. 213 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 6: Would just start them as normally because there's so many 214 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 6: knock on effects from if you're playing into August that 215 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 6: just don't work because of the Olympics, because of the 216 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 6: summer break, And then if you choose then to start 217 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 6: next season late, then perhaps that's an option, but I 218 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 6: think the NBA would probably prefer to get next season 219 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 6: back on a normal schedule in my opinion, So I 220 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 6: think that. But but that Adam Silver and the team 221 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 6: there have got a lot of thinking to do over 222 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 6: the next week or two to decide exactly what to 223 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 6: do because there are so many people affected by this 224 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 6: that they have to consider. And you know, we're seeing 225 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 6: Mark Cuban last night on ESPN saying one of his 226 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 6: priorities is trying to figure out a way to keep 227 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 6: the people who are on the hourly payroll paid because 228 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 6: for some of them that's there earned the income and 229 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 6: so they're going to be the ones who affected the 230 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 6: most severe. 231 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: Yeah. People work in concession stands and ushers and janitorial 232 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: services and stuff like that. 233 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, that was an incredibly quick response from 234 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 4: from Mark Cuban to be interviewed during the game and 235 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 4: to come up with that that idea. Anyways, hopefully they 236 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 4: will follow through. I assume the Dallas Mavericks well and 237 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 4: every every NBA team should follow through because that should 238 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 4: be the priority of businesses throughout the US to take 239 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 4: care of those who are worried day to day and 240 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 4: month to month. 241 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. 242 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: I have trust in a billionaire like Mark Cuban. 243 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 5: I mean, the other ones there were three teams that 244 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 5: wanted fans at their games last night, so I imagine 245 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 5: that they will whenever the season comes back. Those kind 246 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 5: of teams are still going to want to get those 247 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 5: pocket that pocket change the gate receipts from having another 248 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 5: fifteen to twenty games. You know, the Warriors make the 249 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 5: most per game of any team in the league. They 250 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 5: have nothing to play for this season, but they've got 251 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 5: a lot of people to pay. 252 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 4: You're saying. The three teams that Adrian Rogenroskie reported that 253 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 4: in these governor meetings piped up and said, hey, let's 254 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 4: wait until there's a government memo from the federal government 255 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 4: to say, hey, stop playing games. Apparently, Adrian Rogs and 256 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 4: Rescue reported that the Rockets, the Pacers, and the Knicks 257 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 4: said originally it was the Knicks, and then the Rockets 258 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 4: and Pacers got headed to the report that those three 259 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 4: teams want to hang out until there was something. And 260 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 4: that's the worrisome part is that yet every industry has 261 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 4: to make their own guidelines here and so and and 262 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 4: really all the testing is coming from the government, like 263 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 4: the sorry I'm governor level and local level rather than 264 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 4: the federal level. So everybody it's sort of every person, 265 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 4: every business for themselves, which is a little ponkers. 266 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: What do you guys think about sort of again, those 267 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: the possibilities of what you do with the rest of 268 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: the regular season. 269 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 5: Well, I mean, the smartest thing to do would be 270 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 5: just going to the playoffs, but I don't think that's 271 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 5: realistic to happen. I think that even like I'm saying, 272 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 5: the teams that are even out of the playoffs are 273 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 5: gonna want to play the end of the regular season 274 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 5: because there's a lot of money at stakes, right so 275 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 5: they're gonna want to, which makes me think that they 276 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 5: will probably play a longer regular season and we won't 277 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 5: see NBA players in the Olympics, if there even is 278 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 5: an Olympics, just because. 279 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 3: There's money out there. 280 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 5: And I mean, if you're the Pelicans, are you gonna 281 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 5: want to shut down your season when you quote unquote 282 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 5: have a chance to. 283 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 3: Make the playoffs? Probably not. 284 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 5: And I mean it seems to make the most sense 285 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 5: that we're just cutting two months out of the season 286 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,719 Speaker 5: and we're just hopping right back into the playoffs when 287 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 5: it start. But is that realistic? 288 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 3: I'm not sure. 289 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 6: Certainly, unprecedented whatever we're facing right now there's no historical 290 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 6: landmark similar to this. What the right thing to do is, 291 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 6: you know, because when you've had strikes in the past, 292 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 6: we've sort of known they were coming and people have 293 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 6: at least had a little bit of time to prepare. 294 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 6: This one, well, we did have a little bit of 295 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 6: time to prepare, but no one, I don't think expected 296 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 6: it to be quite so sudden. I mean, you know, 297 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 6: this time yesterday, we didn't think the season was going 298 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 6: to be suspended. So it's certainly new territory, and everybody 299 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 6: is affected by it. Whether you're a worker, whether you're 300 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 6: a fan, you know, whether you've got kids, whatever. Everyone 301 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 6: has to be careful because this is a lethal virus 302 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 6: that has claimed people's lives, and that has always got 303 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 6: to be the top priority here that no matter a 304 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 6: game is meaningless, a gate receipt is meaningless when people's 305 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 6: health is as seriously at risk right now. 306 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was hearing some trickling of rumors yesterday afternoon, 307 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 4: way before these games were happening, when the government meetings 308 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 4: were happening. Basically the two options on the table, which 309 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 4: was suspend this thing and we'll go from there, or 310 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 4: no fans in the stands, which is seemingly, according to 311 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 4: Woja's reports, where the NBA was leaning. And I initially 312 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 4: saw that the NBA, according to some some trickles, that 313 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 4: the the NBA was leaning towards suspension. And I immediately thought, 314 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 4: we need leaders in America right now, and Adam Silver 315 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 4: is going to be our leader. He is going to 316 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 4: be the guy that's going to make that decision and 317 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 4: make a hard decision for the league. And then the 318 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 4: decision was absolutely made for him. And in a way, uh, 319 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 4: it's it's probably the start of a trickle down effect 320 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 4: to other sports leagues, to other tournaments like the nc 321 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 4: DOUA a march madness that could be made madness. What 322 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 4: is wrong with that? I mean, just push it back. 323 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 4: There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Logistics be damned. There's 324 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 4: other priorities in life, and uh. 325 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: That has to happen.

And that's what everybody is now 344 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: getting on board with. I'm interested to see what happens 345 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: with the NCAA said, like so far, what we know 346 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: as of recording, they're going to be playing these games, 347 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: just no fans. 348 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 3: They should cancel it.

But now this has happened, I just can't see. 354 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 6: When you consider how many people are going to be, 355 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 6: you know, confined to the same locker rooms and hotels 356 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 6: and airplanes and all that, it seems a very very 357 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 6: bad risk to type. 358 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: Right right, So, I mean, I know what a lot 359 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: of people are wondering right now listening to this.

We don't 362 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: really know what the answer is to that, to be 363 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: completely honest, it's just breaking late last night. But I'm 364 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: pretty confident in saying, as long as we're all healthy 365 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: and we can come into the office and see each 366 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: other every day, we uh and maybe even if we 367 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: can't we're at home doing it.

So I mean this is if you 375 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: have a suggestion of a podcast idea you've always wanted 376 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 1: us to try, now's the perfect time to send it 377 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: in tweet at us hashtag no dunks at No dunk Sinc. 378 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: Or email us no dunks at the Athletic dot com. 379 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 5: And be prepared for us not to show up, because honestly, 380 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 5: within a week it could easily be everybody has to 381 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 5: be home, right, Yeah. 382 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it absolutely could. It feels like, if anything, I 383 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm sure it's different from state to state. 384 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: Here in Georgia from just interactions with people out and 385 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: about it's not a big deal at all to most 386 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: people in experiences i've had him. 387 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 7: I don't know. 388 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 5: Maybe one of my friends is an er doctor and 389 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 5: he says he expects fifty million hospitalizations within three weeks. 390 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: No I am saying, I am agreeing with that. I 391 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: am saying the day to day people that you come 392 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: across in your life. So far, here in Georgia, at least, 393 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: I don't know, people are not talking about it like 394 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: it's a big deal that it's going to be doing 395 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: that here. I don't know. It's just strange million. 396 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know if the American system can 397 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 6: hold it. 398 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 2: I absolutely can't, of course not. 399 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 5: Oh, there's a closing bound gatherings to stretch it out, 400 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 5: to hopefully make it so that they have time to 401 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 5: spread out the people who are going into hospitals and 402 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 5: get vaccines and get tests made. 403 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a we are instituting our own social distances, 404 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 4: which is nuts. It should be coming from a top down. 405 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 4: But yeah, I agree with Skeetz in a way. Those 406 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 4: who aren't talking to doctors are basically under the impression 407 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 4: that this isn't a big deal. When that is the 408 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 4: message coming from the highest office in the land. That's 409 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 4: what's happening. But there was a congressional doctor, the in 410 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 4: house doctor for Congress and the Supreme Court that said 411 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 4: the exact same thing as your insight Info doctor. There 412 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 4: is seventy to one hundred and fifty million. That's the 413 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 4: range of people that are going to be contracted. That's 414 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 4: a fifth to half of the population in the US. 415 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 4: And there are not enough hospital beds. There's a million 416 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 4: high hospital beds that are and about eighty percent of them, 417 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 4: seventy to eighty percent are occupied at all times so 418 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 4: you add that you need a ventilator for quite often 419 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 4: for this this respiration disease, you know, you need respiratory assistance, 420 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 4: and those aren't readily available. 421 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 2: So not to mention. 422 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 5: There's not a lot of doctors out there. They're all 423 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 5: going to be coming down with coronavirus as well. They're 424 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 5: working NonStop, night after night. 425 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 2: So yeah, we may not be here, we may be 426 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 2: doing it remotely. 427 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 4: But that's the beauty of a podcast in a way, and 428 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 4: maybe the beauty of the team's playing on average right now. 429 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 4: Doing a little math, it's like sixty four point sixty 430 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 4: six games. Maybe that's the benchmark now, the template for 431 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 4: the NBA to say if they do end up canceling 432 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 4: the rest of the games and it goes to sixty six, 433 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 4: you know, on average sixty six what we've talked about 434 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 4: for a very. 435 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 2: Good amount of time with the exact number. 436 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, throwing drop cut and slicing sixteen games off. 437 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 2: Maybe this is the template going forward. 438 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 4: Maybe it's it takes a terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible disease 439 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 4: and situation, but. 440 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 2: There are people dying, and that's what we got to 441 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 2: worry about. 442 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: If you are worried you have been exposed to the virus. 443 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: Make sure you use telehealth, all right, and just don't 444 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: go into a clinic without calling ahead and all serious. 445 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: There is a dedicated hotline if you think you've been exposed, 446 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: just call it one eight hundred four or five six 447 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: seven seven zero seven, And you know, at least to 448 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,239 Speaker 1: do your small part. That's the weird thing. Everybody's got 449 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: to try and do their their own little small part 450 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: to flatten the curve. 451 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 4: As you said, Can I interject with some breaking news 452 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 4: here from Adrian woch and Rowski.

And I know Royce Young 496 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: was doing an unbelievable job with ESPN last night at 497 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: that Jazz under a game. He's obviously in Oka. See 498 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: I heard him this morning saying, you know, they were 499 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: testing all the players, the Utah players and then hopefully 500 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: get them back to Salt Lake City. And there was 501 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: this idea that well, if you tested positive, you're going 502 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: to be on one plane or maybe even taking a bus, 503 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: and you know, to be quarantined away from the people 504 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: that didn't test that tested negatively, and they'd have their 505 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: own flight. I mean this is and then when they 506 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: get back to Salt Lake City, the same thing, one 507 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: hospital for the people that have the virus, one that 508 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: don't to remain quarantined because you could have it. 509 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 4: Of course, still, Ye was doing an incredible job on 510 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 4: ESPN and we saw his wife Carrie Young even tweet 511 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 4: leave that microphone at the arena. And now it's starting 512 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 4: to you know, affect our little, our tiny, tiny little 513 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 4: circle of the media world. But people, yeah, from Oka See, 514 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 4: you know, whether they cover the jazz having to travel 515 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 4: home and them being thousands, you know, a thousand miles 516 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 4: away from their home and their loved ones and travel 517 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,239 Speaker 4: band coming from Europe, and people worrying if they can 518 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,239 Speaker 4: get their kids home from Europe, but yes they can, 519 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 4: but no they can't. And that was a very puzzling 520 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 4: night overall. But what was really odd about the situation 521 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 4: in Oka See there was that Rudy had these symptoms 522 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 4: throughout the afternoon. He gets tested, but he feels fine 523 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 4: enough to play, and he is his status has changed 524 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 4: to questionable. 525 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 2: And then. 526 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 4: The results of the test come down after he was 527 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 4: changed to questionable and oh he has coronavirus and now 528 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 4: he can't play. Let's stop everything. And it was such 529 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 4: a strange scene because for half an hour there were 530 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 4: performers going in okay See on the floor, yeah, and 531 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 4: they were literally dance back you go, a musical artists 532 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 4: who can sing you go, and they were really just 533 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 4: taking turns. It was such a strange scene. 534 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 2: It was. 535 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, the contagion thing is it was a it was 536 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,719 Speaker 4: a movie, It really was. 537 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. I saw Henry Abbott of True Hoop in his 538 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: newsletter giving a lot of praise to uh, Donnie Strack 539 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:35,719 Speaker 1: was his name is the he is the Jazz Well, 540 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: I don't forget. I don't know his exact title off 541 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: the top of my head, but the man that came 542 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: out to tell the officials to tell the league, hey, 543 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 1: he just tested positively. We probably shouldn't have this game, 544 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: like we need to get these guys quarantines. Last second, yeah, 545 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: right exactly, like right at the last second. 546 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 2: He was sprinting, yeah, onto the floor. 547 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 5: The details of it, like reading through Royce's story, reading 548 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 5: through other stories like like that that happened seconds before 549 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 5: the game started. They had to restart Zombie Nation for 550 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 5: the fans because they were ready standing as the thunder 551 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 5: fans do for the tip off, you know, they stand 552 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 5: until their team scores. 553 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 3: They were ready to do that and then suddenly it 554 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 3: started over again. Numbers like, huh, that doesn't seem right. 555 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 3: So yeah, it's a it's weird stuff. 556 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: And just so I have this right, Strack is the Thunders, 557 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: vice president of human and Player Performance. So actually with 558 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: OKAC finds out the results, sprints out there and says, 559 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: we need to shut this shut this game down immediately. 560 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been there forever with the UTAH. Yes, right, 561 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 4: we'll just dropping some info. This isn't a this isn't 562 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 4: a bomb whatsoever. But the Rockets did favor a three 563 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 4: to four weeks pause since we threw them, lump them 564 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 4: into those teams that wanted to play in front of fans. 565 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 4: They wanted to pause. Less enthusiastic about the idea of 566 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 4: playing games in the short term without fans, But this 567 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 4: was inevitable and it's going to happen, and seemingly every 568 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 4: sports league but the NHL hasn't followed suit. 569 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 2: Although they've talked about it time. Right, Well you think so. 570 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: Especially the Heck, don't they share locker rooms with half 571 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: of these NBA teams. 572 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 4: Well you're talking about that Ben diagram and the crossovers 573 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 4: for sure, and they're playing the same arenas exactly that. 574 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I might as well throw this out 575 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: here too, talking about the NBA being postponed for two, three, four, five, 576 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: whatever it is weeks. We obviously have a schedule event 577 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: with Hoop Talks in Toronto on March twenty eighth. I've 578 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: told you guys about it. You guys went and bought 579 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: all the tickets. I'm guessing it's very unlikely that event 580 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: is going to happen. It's not officially canceled, but you know, 581 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: us flying up there and you guys all coming together 582 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: and doing what we shouldn't be doing, all being in 583 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: a social gathering. I think it's unlikely that it happens, 584 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: being what what's the date today, the twelfth, and maybeah, 585 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 1: two weeks and change away. Unlikely, But we'll keep you 586 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: up to date as soon as we know whether that 587 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: event is officially canceled. Again, I assume it would be, 588 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,719 Speaker 1: especially when you consider that there was supposed to be 589 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 1: like it was a part viewing party. It was going 590 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 1: to be Raptors Grizzlies that game. 591 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 3: Not happening. 592 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: So unfortunate. But that's just where we are with this thing. 593 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: And yeah, we are going to try to keep continuing 594 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: the podcast, your ideas in and this week get we're 595 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 1: afforded now to be even a little crazier than normal. 596 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: We were joking the last two podcasts we've done and 597 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: been quite insane at times as it is, because you know, 598 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: you start to get a little loopy. 599 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 5: Around mid March, we're abandon shorts though, Yeah I want 600 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 5: all that skin. 601 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, man, you gotta wear. 602 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 6: Have you seen the forecast the next few days? 603 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: No? 604 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 6: No, it's actually gonna raindo. 605 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 2: So. 606 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you have ideas, though, we'll try things.

If it is the case. 753 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know what, it's a little bit of 754 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 5: pressure for it to be your final shot. 755 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 3: It's wide open.

I mean, look, 760 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 1: the game we were picking from got canceled. Kill the music, 761 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: Jad Pelicans kinks it was done. They're like, we're not 762 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: playing it because after we found out about Courtney Kirklin, 763 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,720 Speaker 1: the referee, having just officiated the Jazz game days prior. 764 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: But here's the results right now, where we're at from 765 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: whenever we picked this back up trays four and two, 766 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: everybody else three and three. 767 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I think the Pelicans probably would have won 768 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 6: last night. So whoever picked the Pelicans gets the wish. 769 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, it's taking off the board.
