    What if there's a reversal of expectations and attendance at TC rises in response to coronavirus fears?

    That would be so TC.

    I just read how the Rockets can win the Championship. Lebron said if there is games were fans can't watch him play. He ain't going to play. So Corona virus may be our last hope.

    Need canned laughter for every open 3 point shot we miss.

    LeBron stated he won't play in an empty arena... I guess he's not educated on the matter.

    once games are suspended likely to be for more than 2 weeks. It’ll be like an injury. “We expect to resume in 2 weeks”. 2 months later “day to day”.

    playing in empty arenas makes the most sense to me. Maintain perhaps increase tv ratings. Nba can market some kind of league pass deal or something.

    How big is his demands on the NBA? I can't help but wonder how much pull he has on the NBA wanting the Lakers to go all the way. If it gets to a health concern, hopefully they tell him it's his choice to pull out, but they won't change their decision based on him. If he chooses to make that decision then let the Lakers team and fans see their chances to win go down the drain. LeBron is such an egomaniac.

    Yea, I saw him say that in a locker Interview with the LA press. He actually said “that ain’t happening” and “I’ve never not played in front of a crowd” the press gave him that approving giggle, pretty moronic but of course it’s all about him.

    Isn’t it all about the “love of the game” not about you?

    Theory: The Rockets style of play over the last 3 games is an effort to help drive fans away and keep them safe.
