NBA Postponed Nets and Bulls Games for Covid Celtics and Hawks forced to Play

[insight]

How is it that the Bulls and Nets both were able to have three games postponed for not signing enough replacement players, but teams like Atlanta and the Celtics were hit harder, with Covid with guys still testing positive everyday are forced to play with street dudes.

Sweet another loss for the Celtics. Imagine relying on Jabari Parker

The nba is fair tho

It's well known the NBA hates on the Hawks

Simple. Hawks fielded the minimum 8 players. Bulls and Nets didn't.

If the Hawks are signing emergency hardship waiver g-leaguers, that's their decision. No some conspiracy.

It sucks but to be honest they still should have beat Minnie.
The Wolves had it even worse.

He actually hasn't been bad. I am judging him as a reserve not a lottery pick here. He gets some buckets and rebounds a little. Not a complete player but worth having on the team.

It no longer is the teams decision, they are forced to sign players based on the revised hardship agreement. The NBA scheduled the entire 82 game season up front so it's near impossible to reschedule the games. Nets and Bulls benefited from getting hit early, the Hawks have no interest in playing with guys off the street when they cannot hold team practices and everything must be individual workouts.

Hmm, just tonight the NBA postpones the Miami Heat vs Spurs Game because Miami who only has 5 players in Covid protocol didn't have enough players.
The Hawks only had two starters and one bench player from there original roster available had to play with street dudes literally signed today for an away game.

Trae keeping in reel, the league is not handling this right. How in the world does Miami get there game postponed tonight with only 5 players in the protocol?

Clearly inconsistent but our society as a whole is getting close to just ignoring covid. Not saying the problem is disappearing just it is apparent that people are sick of all we are required to do to deal with it.

I didn't know that. If it's no longer the teams' decision, then it sounds like there's a legitimate gripe there.
