Even though the NBA targeted Friday for teams to open their practice facilities to a limited number of players at a time, just a few teams – the Cleveland Cavaliers, Portland Trail Blazers and Denver Nuggets and maybe another team or two – plan to make their facility available on that day. The Houston Rockets had planned to open Friday, but Texas Gov. Greg Abbott pushed back the opening of gyms until May 18 so the Rockets will follow those guidelines.

WTF did it take so long? They could have done the same thing six weeks ago, easy. What today makes social distance practicing on a basketball court any different than six weeks ago? I can just see the mini-minds at work discussing ad nauseam how many players could be on the floor on the same time. Let's see, how exactly do you figure out the area of a rectangle? Was that width times length? Or do we need to figure cubic feet of air? Hmm. How do you figure cubic feet? I don't know. Let's figure out something with area so we can write down something and cover our arses. Ok. Really, was the curve going to go exponential six weeks ago because Kings' players were practicing by themselves on a basksetball court? What a freaking joke. Just watching these fools is an IQ lowering experience.
