First all we heard was the game is being delayed. Then we heard the game was being cancelled and then finally that’s when we found out Rudy Gobert Tested Positive. I’m pretty sure that’s when the reality of it all set in for everyone in the country, even schools shut down days after.

Did I just get totally shook up by a mini doc about the NBA?!? This was surprisingly good, soo good. I was at the last Jazz game in SLC just before the OKC game and total shutdown. I flew back the next day to California on day 1 on full lockdown and spent that day (my birthday) alone thinking about what has just happened. It may just be a Game but this little Doc puts a finger on the pulse of how it felt, it was a domino effect and from Kobe, to NBA shutdown to day to day reckoning with a global pandemic and quarantine it's hard to know if anything will ever be the same. I cant wait for this to be over. The FIRST thing I want to do when we get fully ahead of this is go to a NBA game.
