Serious BS if the league has a shutdown in a few days do to massive outbreaks and we get hung with an L for this.

Of course the way NBA games going having a roster of G-leaguers is a recipe for a W.

Not going into whether they should or should not shut down. The Kings were gifted a couple short handed teams and failed to capitalize. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, it is what it is.

We seem to be in a rather large wave right now that has multiple sports rescheduling. Vs. more isolated outbreaks. I think the NFL had a record # of cases in the last week and NBA and NHL weren't far behind.

Like I said, I won't go into if they should or shouldn't. I just don't agree that it would be BS if they do shut down after the team gets the loss from this previous game after their failure to capitalize earlier. Now if they are only continuing the games to get the revenue for the Christmas games that would be an entirely different conversation and that would be total BS.

Different situations if those earlier 'gifted games' weren't due to health and safety protocols.

Required is the key word. So who should we start looking at in the g-league? This would be a good time to snag another possible metu.

Emmanuel Terry and Ade Murkey have been with us since Summer League and have been putting in the work. Marcus Graves has been with Stockton for years and deserves the token NBA appearance.

the Larger issue is that all the other teams are also generating positive tests the same time at us so the G-League ranks are getting scoured pretty fast.

I'm thinking it was a combination just not sure. After I posted what you quoted, saw a tweet/quote on The Athletic page that the league would allow for games to be postponed for medical reasons even if there were more than eight players available. Do not know the accuracy or context that quote was taken from. But if true, would not like the inclusion of a gray area where exceptions are made. Too much room for other influences (like $$) to impact what the league deems medical necessity.

But then we would have something to be entertained by, which this franchise does not allow.

At this point I doubt he’s even good, I just want to see the marvel that is him moving around a basketball court.

1000 times out of 1000 I take the Pistons position over whatever the hell the Kings are doing. :(
