I get the whole “excused vs unexcused” part of it but like you said, from a simply “COVID safety” standpoint, leaving the bubble entirely would seem to warrant longer than a 4 day quarantine and stand to jeopardize the “integrity” of the bubble more than crossing a line inside the bubble to pick up food. It is what it is, I’m not gonna lose any sleep over it.
2020: a year so ridiculous that the fact that it has pretty much been raining cats and dogs in most of Japan for an entire month so much to the point that the entire southern portion of the country is awash in biblical floods all while Siberia experiences record breaking heatwaves probably won’t even make the top ten list of world events.
Also the Olympics were supposed to start this week but absolutely no one remembers that.
Really at this point I’m just happy that the Orlando bubble experiment has lasted as long as it has.

Another one leaves the bubble.

I get where you’re coming from but it is a very small sample size (even when adding the other one together).
Now this may just be practice vs game, but his shot does look quicker. He’s not jumping as high as I remember when he shoots. It’s more of a set shot. Anything to speed up his release while also limiting the amount of movement is a good thing.

Marvin is 21 years old now. MBIII is the youngest King
It is nice that he is practicing the outside shot. If he can hit some of those in game it will require a defender which opens up the paint for the guards. It would also mean he can play in a more cohesive manner with Bigs like Holmes.
It is easy to get all over hyped about what he can and cannot do. I think I will sit back and support the Kings and enjoy the ride of this crazy season.

Well, if Bagley can shoot 50% during the season he'll likely lead the NBA in 3 pt percentage. But come on, we got to see 4 shots and then they didn't show us the results of the following shots. For all we know those four shots may have been the first of his warm up. Do we always have to look at everything as the glass half empty?

Regardless of any other video (none of which I've seen, but I'm not seeking them out) you made the following comment:
DIRECTLY in reference to a video in which Bagley hit 2 of 4.
So yes, it WAS just four shots. And by any reasonable definition those four shots didn't qualify as "missing". But man, hilarious how that goalpost got moved from "2 of 4 = missing" to "well, I was talking about different videos" when nobody would buy into the former.

The Players can play tennis, golf or go fishing! But it is against the rules to get take out food? Can someone explain it to me?

I think it’s more like this:
Amenities “under the bubble” are protected from people who haven’t been tested or quarantined.
But walk outside the hotel to the drop off/pick up area and you are exposed to the outside world. Unknowingly bring the virus back into the bubble and f-up the whole end of season for the NBA.
I think the 10-day quarantine (penalty) was too severe for Holmes - especially if the rules were unclear. (We’ll never know what the same penalty would have been for LeBron or Zion.) But I understand why you would need to set an example so others take the bubble seriously. There a lot at stake.

I'm not sure that it was too severe. It was meant as a deterrent and in light of the players being tested either every day or every other day, it really indicates that they are taking it serious. The four days seems appropriate when the leave is justified and approved. Within four days is when symptoms typically appear and with the testing being done, asymptomatic should still show up positive.
And if it was because it was unclear, that stinks but it wouldn't have hurt to ask. Especially given the penalty for being wrong.
