    Season is over. I don't know how they can just come back and keep playing at this point...

    I feel like the fans are being punished, and that’s not fair. I can understand the players wanting their voices to be heard. But, this is disappointing from a fans point of view. After all the problems with the virus, I’d like to see some sports.

    It's a good cause. But I was a bit surprised they were leaving campus. Risk exposure and if players come back if they get tested positive have to wait more days.

    The TV producers on the triple header; have a lot air time to fill. I imagine they want to keep speaking on the cause, but they have to scramble to get more people to call in and talk.

    Did they leave campus?

    If so, then yeah, that would be the end of this bubble. Take too much time to get them all tested and warmed up again in the middle of the playoffs.

    For now, I expect a few days off and a restart.

    I would negotiate a Summer league format with G league players and young players wanting to make an extra buck.

    If it didn't hurt a little, then it would be meaningless. The players want to play these games as much as or more than you want to watch them. This is a sacrifice they feel they need to make. If it's just one game, it's not going to hurt all that much.

    I hope they go all in then and walk out. Otherwise it's not much of a message.
