Yup, one promising vaccine just failed a clinical trial, so it’s slow going. Then they will “prioritize” at-risk populations and workers. Then finally get to us basketball fans. So I’m not holding my breath.

Yeah, and then there’s distribution and ensuring folks get vacciniated, which I assume will be another political fight just like wearing masks…

As a STH (who has already paid for much of the 20-21 season), I fully expect to get no more than half of the season with fans in seats. Probably less than that. And am OK with it; we’re not ready for that.

Yep Chogokin, that’s what most clinicians are leaning towards.

Is it too late to fire Lue and promote one of them to head coach?

That’s definitely part of it. Can’t compete with the NFL.

I have to imagine after the ratings debacle for this last Finals that the NBA wants nothing to do with going up against football. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but was this the lowest rated finals ever? There must be pressure coming from the networks.

…..I mean, I hope you’re right, obviously. But I’m not realistically expecting anything sooner than late Spring/early Summer of next year.
