George Hill of the Oklahoma City Thunder isn't particularly satisfied with the rules the NBA is setting to stymy the global pandemic's impact on the league. The COVID-19 situation has been rather tricky and the league office has been under fire as of late for some of the more frivolous protocols. Due to the recent outbreak of players testing positive for COVID-19 in the past week, the league ramped up their health and safety protocols to try and further mitigate the spread of the virus. A handful of games have also been postponed but as of Tuesday, the league is adamant that pausing the season isn't an option just yet.

Hill, who's never been shy to speak his mind, was trying to make sense of all the rules and protocols the league has rolled out.

“We wanna play the game. But I don't understand some of the rules. We can seat next to a guy for 48 minutes but we can't talk to them afterwards. It makes no sense” Hill said (via Brandon Rahbar of the Daily Thunder).

Quite notably, the Washington Wizards' Bradley Beal was asked to quarantine and miss a game after he came in contact with Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics after their game. Tatum was reportedly exposed to the virus which meant he had to enter quarantine and miss 10-14 days. This resulted to Beal's own quarantine in accordance to the league's contact tracing protocols. Those who came in contact with Tatum during their game didn't have to go through quarantine.

“I'm a grown man so I'm going to do what I want to do. If I want to go see my family, I am going to see my family. If it's that serious maybe we shouldn't be playing.” Hill added.

George Hill does have a point. If it's too dangerous, why risk it at all?

The league masterfully executed an NBA Bubble in Orlando to end last season. The bubble environment was very successful in the sense that no one inside the bubble contracted the virus. Aside from little hiccups along the way, the ride inside the bubble was rather smooth sailing.

This season, with the league opting for a more traditional home-and-away set-up for the 72-game season, the likelihood of the virus spreading is quite high which means, as we're all seeing now, it's going to be a rocky road moving forward for the league and its teams.
