From open court: “After going back and forth for the past few weeks, Dwight Howard now revealed he wants to play in NBA restart.” I hope he comes back as he did at the beginning of this year?

LBJ is very slow, he numbers, I'm hoping we do something.

We signed JR Smith. Losing Bradley, this could help us with his shooting

Two not playing so far, Howard and Bradley.

Yes MG time waits for no man, time is ticking. Vort, I hear what you are saying, we will all fall some day, we fall apart and entropy is powerful.

That is exactly what I though MG. I'm alright, still alive but MS is winning, I just have to keep going. I can't quite, MS is going to win, but I keep fighting. And how r u?

NBA confirmed that July 30 is the opening

Dwight Howard releases statement that he agrees with Kyrie Irving that NBA should cancel season. That is his right but selfishly I’d like him to bite the bullet, get out there, play tough and play through the risk. Many people will get sick, healthy people will fight it off and be fine. He is not old like 70’s or 80’s. Help us in the post season.

Restart rankings: 1 Last week: 1 Los Angeles Lakers Record: 49-14 Pace: 101.1 (12) OffRtg: 112.6 (4) DefRtg: 105.5 (3) NetRtg: +7.1 (2) Our last real memory of the Lakers is them beating the Bucks and Clippers in one weekend, holding two top-six offenses to just 96.3 points per 100 possessions, with LeBron James seeing the bulk of the matchup time against Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kawhi Leonard. (They did lose to the Nets that Tuesday). But, though that was two of the last three games they've played, it was also three months ago. And we're still at least seven and a half weeks from the next game that means anything. We can be confident that James will be both ready for and serious aboutthe resumption of the season. If the Lakers can get back to defending like they did over those last few weeks - they saw the league's biggest drop in points allowed per 100 possessions from before the All-Star break (106.3, fifth) to after it (101.6, second) - they have a good shot at winning title No. 17. Given how lethal the Lakers are in transition and how much they depend on a scrambled defense -- 28.5% of their points, the league's highest rate, have come via fast-break points or second-chance points -- you can't put enough emphasis on their own defense. They've been better defensively with Davis at center (101.4 points allowed per 100 possessions) than they've been with him at the four (106.4), though those Davis-at-center minutes are more likely to have come against opposing reserves and it remains to be seen how much we see of him playing center in the postseason.

I just read this on FB. ”The eight teams that are reported to face the Los Angeles Lakers in the regular season games, when the league returns are the: Denver Nuggets, Houston Rockets, Utah Jazz (twice), Toronto Raptors, Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers, and the Sacramento Kings.” I do not know if it is accurate but is fun to see NBA news

I heard nba is shooting for July 31 is a target date on RB the breakthrough from Sham Kariznia reporting. He also said Beal might be going to the Nets. That's news

I wonder if the season will finish this year or stay closed? Maybe play some games that have limited to no fans and only televised?

2 Lakers have corona virs but I can't find which 2

NBA suspends season until further notice after player tests positive for the coronavirus Woj said ”The player is the Jazz's Rudy Gobert, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. That led to Utah's game at Oklahoma City being postponed just before tipoff.” they played tonight but we'll see how long this goes and what it means.
