Rockets owner Fertitta says “There’s no reason to panic, even when they announce that another 10,000 people have it, ok? Just don’t give it to other people... you’re not going to die from this.”
Where is my big f’ing emoji of an eyeroll that morphs into a hand that slaps sense into Fertitta?
This Season
We can talk a bit about what we might want to see at this site during the season suspension. Certainly there will be regular open threads like this.
Further ideas:
if the NCAA Tournament really happens (really??), we’ll follow along with a creative and Warrior-centric eye
I have this idea that I might cover past wonderful Warriors playoff runs (e.g. 2014-15 run) as if they were happening now, and do some retro-E1Ps
Scouting reports on what we’ve seen from all the new guys this (apocalyptic) season
I also have a bunch of detailed articles that are not available online anymore and I wanted to publish them at LGW so they aren’t lost to history. They are mainly about past GSW playoff runs.
I’ll certainly keep rolling out Honorary Warriors For Life posts, just as a way to remember and honor players.
Once you do the "past wonderful Warriors playoff runs", have a poll as to which was best in various categories, okay? I'm sure you can come up with the categories, but let me know if you need ideas :)
[Wojnarowski] NBA owners are encouraging of commissioner Adam Silver to re-evaluate the league's suspension in 30 days, sources tell ESPN. League is expected to make a formal announcement on an initial timetable soon.
[Vardon] It looks like the Cavaliers are following suit with the Mavs regarding worker compensation: "We are developing a compensation plan to continue paying our event staff and hourly workforce that is impacted with the changes to our regular event schedule."

Sigh. Sports was what was keeping me positive through tough times. Well, whenever we get through this, I will surely appreciate it all the more. Will be here to read whatever you post though!

Maybe a subscriber perk could be: being allowed to submit (for review by Eric, Dubby, etc first) 'guest columns' on scouting, personal warriors memories, etc. that would be too long for comments and/or deserve their own thread/post. This would reduce the content-producing burden on Eric, etc.

It would be awesome if this is what the cable channels did while basketball was out and you could match it up. Hell, you can show me game 6 against the Thunder every day.

Hey this couldn’t have come at a worse time for LGW as you guys try to get this off the ground. I just want to say I’m still here supporting this site through the tough times, kind of like how I supported the Warriors from 1977-2010

Now Barkley is self-quarantining (not feeling well, test results not in yet)
I wonder how much it would cost to just shut down the U.S. and pay everyone to self-quarantine for 14-days?
Vintage stuff? Articles and videos about Run TMC, we believe etc.
There it is:
[Charania] The NCAA has canceled the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments and March Madness.

Lacob . . .
Grocery stores in the Bay Area are madhouses right now (at least as of Thursday morning). People are preparing for the zombie apocalypse.
We'll also post a lighter basketball post at noon, but feel free to keep most commentary over here.
Updated with report that NBA season will be suspended 30 days MINIMUM

Updated with news that Duke and Kansas have withdrawn from the NCAA Tournament
Updated the parent post with the suspensions of MLB, NHL, MLS seasons, and a Donovan Mitchell quote.
MLB suspending operations
Mitchell could have infected Gobert.
Love you all. Please stay safe and embrace your social isolation
Gobert, you idiot!
[Wojnarowski] The NBA has pushed back a Board of Governors call today by three hours -- now set to start at 3:30 PM ET, sources tell ESPN.

What the actual f*ckety-f*ck-f*ck...???!!!
I really love the scouting reports idea. Would also like to do some deeper dives into possible draft picks.
