NBA COVID-19 guidelines once inside the bubble." data-reactid="18">The Portland Trail guard Blazers told reporters in a video conference Wednesday that he has his doubts about the players who adhere to the NBA COVID-19 guidelines once inside the bubble.
“My confidence is not exceptional,” said Lillard, according to ESPN’s Royce Young. “My confidence is not exceptional because you are telling me that you will have 22 teams full of players following all the rules? When we have 100 percent freedom, everyone does not follow all the rules.
“I don’t have much confidence. But I hope it will be managed at a point where we are not putting everyone at risk or in a dangerous position. “
Bubble league under scrutiny during the outbreak
NBA’s bubble league has undergone increased scrutiny in recent days as COVID-19 cases have spiked in Florida, with skepticism over whether the NBA can actually resume the season safely at Disney World." data-reactid="24">The NBA bubble has undergone more scrutiny in the past few days as COVID-19 cases have increased in Florida, with skepticism that the NBA can actually resume the season safely at Disney World.
NBA bubble on Tuesday, saying in a Time 100 talk that it was designed precisely to protect those inside from these kinds outside factors." data-reactid="25">Commissioner Adam Silver reaffirmed his confidence in the NBA bubble on Tuesday, saying in a Time 100 speech that it was designed to protect those inside from these types of external factors.
“Our model was designed to protect us and our players from cases outside the community,” said Silver, according to the New York Times Sopan Deb. “Maybe at the time we designed it, we didn’t think it would be as necessary as it is now.”
The idea is that the players and staff in the bubble will be more confident there than they would be in their daily lives. Lillard accepted this thought and expressed confidence in the bubble’s ability to protect players from what’s going on in Florida.
But like most others, he doesn’t see the bubble as a cure for coronavirus risk.
“The fact that we are going to be in a bubble, in a way, breaks it down and limits the possibility that we are exposed to everyone else outside of the Orlando bubble,” said Lillard. “I think it’s a safer situation.
“But I don’t think it’s possible for them to protect us 100%. I think everyone will go there to understand it. “

Lillard says he is broadcasting everything. He plans to punch in his room with video games and recording equipment when he is not exercising, training or playing.
“I’ll relax,” said Lillard. “I feel there is still the possibility that something will spread inside that bubble, only with so many people doing so many different things that we have to follow to be safe, even if we are not exposed to the public.
“I will have my PS3, my PS4, I will have my studio equipment, my microphone, my laptop, I will have all my books. That’s all, friend. I’ll be in the room, chilling. “
