So am gonna hop over there, per Bo & check it out, sound interesting.
And I’m gonna dial it back here, a bit, but no worries Carlos, I’m not going to stop.
Because Kam is completely wrong.
Right now, you can’t leave the politics out even if you wanted to.
There is no Knicks/NBA in isolation from Virus / BLM / Trump /DeSantis. Zero. Zip. Nada.
They matter more to the activities of the sport than Silver or Dolan or James.
Just nonsense to say there should be some kind of barrier right now.
While it’s true that the NBA has a likely ally in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, you never quite know where the political winds might shift. A couple of phone calls shuts the NBA’s business down, as so many businesses have been shut down around the country. I had Henry Abbott of TrueHoop on my podcast and he made a point that few others have made: Silver has been fairly politically neutral of late, despite his reputation as the progressive commissioner. The theory Abbott espoused was that this has something to do with the NBA needing allies in government to make this bubble a reality. Many NBA players (and fans) might hate President Donald Trump, but Silver can’t afford to be seen as a Trump enemy right now. As mentioned before, the federal government has the power to undermine the NBA’s operation. – via Ethan Strauss @ The AthleticHoping we’ll have more actual hoops to talk about soon. I'm actually really excited. I think it could be really fun — even as I'm skeptical as hell it goes off without a hitch in DeSanta's Viral Workshop.
**** of course, any time our forum’s mental midget peckerwood troll opens up his rancid piehole with the *&$%, I’ll continue to pound him back into oblivion. Just too EZ, fun, and necessary. Mama don't play. It's 2020 and if you come at me with tired racist bullshit I'm going to beat the living fuck out of you.***** or try to claim antifa behind the protests in NYC, lol, lol, lol, what a hopeless twat, lol, lol, lol****** and anyway, once a forum gets down to a minimal # of people & posters & posts, it is in real jeopardy of simply disappearing, so as far as I'm concerned, talk about your pets, your kids, or your covid hairstyles to mix it up, I won't mind. Here's what I'm currently sporting:
Meanwhile, down in bubble land, even DeSantis who has been working his slimy ass off to conceal the reality of his deadly fiasco, can't hide this:

As hospitals fill up with ever-growing numbers of COVID-19 patients, officials are readying plans designed to avoid the nightmarish crowding that marked New York hospitals at the height of that city’s epidemic.
