It's always another milestone. AZ has made a dramatic turn around and is now re-opening bars, gyms, and theaters like (but slower than) last time that caused our spike.
We coming out of our summer hibernation's early and will be out with a vengeance with no real change in attitude regarding masks. Mix all of this together, add flu season, a dash of Holidays, and it feels like a powder keg about to go off.
If it doesn't then we've passed a huge stress test.
Anyway people want to shit on Lebron but it sounds like Kawhi really wanted out but that is probably for different reasons.

What exactly do they think not playing and canceling the season will accomplish?
Are the NBA players planning to use that time to testify in front of Congress? Develop detailed policy proposals? Lead collaborative efforts with cops/communities regarding training protocols/best practices?
There are known consequences of canceling the season... i.e. the CBA will get terminated, the owners could lockout the players next season due to financial issues, a massive loss of revenue, etc.

I'm not really in a position to answer that any further than I did when ThaVirus asked the same question an hour and a half ago. I just posted a quote that seemed pretty extreme just to get a day off as you suggested.
ESPN Sources: Several key members of Lakers -- and some peers around league -- stayed up until early AM hours talking through issues in The Bubble. Among key players in league heading into 11 AM meeting, there's optimism about a majority of players wanting to continue playoffs.

Yeah - because they were totally getting off easy when it was just their cities burning.
They seemed to be content to sit on their asses and do fuck all despite this shit until their golden goose started squawking at the AG and Lieutenant Governer.
