The Lakers vs. Clippers opening-night matchup won't necessarily impact the Western Conference standings, but it could set the tone for the entire bubble experiment in Orlando, @mshap2 writes https://t.co/YQfgA0ahnM

My son’s father-in-law owns a large winery outside of Sacramento with the acreage and facilities to harbor dozens of extended families and friends in a safe and isolated residential bubble possibly for months or even years. While he’s not what would be considered to be a survivalist, he’s already started to enhance security systems, stockpile provisions, and prepare contingency plans for a move there should the current situation worsen.
What’s next? Could the gated communities of the future evolve into the bubble cities of the future? As crazy as it sounds, bubble communities as an idea could actually make sense in a dystopian future dominated by plague. Coronavirus may not be as lethal as originally thought but it’s given us more than we can handle and the next pathogen could be a more lethal and deadly threat than nuclear war, climate change, or overpopulation.

State Farm Arena, would become Georgia’s largest-ever voting center
“On Monday, the team announced that their stadium, State Farm Arena, would become Georgia's largest-ever voting center. The basketball team also challenged other franchises to follow suit before the presidential election.”https://t.co/ORx5mlaURF

Nothing is given. Everything is earned.
The reason the Lakers were able to ‘out-small ball’ the Rockets is they have players who are taller and better at playing small.
In fact, LeBron James and Anthony Davis are probably the ideal prototype players for small ball offense and defense.
Replacing JaVale McGee or Dwight Howard with Anthony Davis just to have more 3-point shooters but running the same 3-out and 4-out sets is not ‘small ball.’ It’s ‘tall ball’ with small players.
The last 2 games, the Lakers replaced JaVale McGee with Markieff Morris and played 5-out sets to stretch defenses and unclog paint. That is small ball.
What is becoming more and more obvious is that the Lakers roster is actually better suited to play small ball than tall ball.
