11. Is there hope for the hardwood?

This week on the Bill Bradley Collective, the hosts preview the fast-approaching 2020-21 NBA season. Determined to plow ahead bubble-less amidst the still devastating COVID-19 pandemic, the league believes they have the protocols in place to complete a full campaign. Do they? The Collective examines that question among other league topics, as we consider the changes being implemented to both the regular and post-season structure with additional commentary on what to expect on the court following a brief but frenetic offseason full of player movement and coaching/front office overhaul. The rants set the table, where Andrew outlines his trepidation for the just-tipped college basketball season and the slim hope that it survives to March, they try to make him welcome Brian Kemp to the resistance but Ed says “no, no, no,” and finally Zak drops the hammer on the continued failure of the NFL’s COVID-19 guidelines, with a fortuitous spotlight on the now thrice-delayed Steelers/Ravens matchup.
