    It's the NBA. Eight guys stand around, one guy dribbles, one guy allegedly plays defense. The whole game is social distancing.

    You can probably have guys in two at a time - halfcourt for each - with some coaches, so at least they could get some instruction and get a sweat.

    Won't there be some states/cities that won't allow any reopening? Would that give teams in relatively lenient cities an unfair competitive advantage? Or is the NBA confident that every team will be allowed to reopen facilities in some way or another?

    I love old man NBA takes. You can tell who doesn’t watch the game anymore.

    Or have teams play HORSE. Do it virtually. ESPN can televise it. What could go wrong?

    Haaaa. I mean, I kind of liked that effort, but it didn't really work because they just took normal shots.

    Unless he’s watching the Rockets. Because they kind of do that.

    If the Lakers can't reopen, then what's the point?
