NBA playoffs, info from Woj

I love the NBA. The only reason(other than a little bit of money) the seasons is resuming at all is so they can give LeBron another asterisked ring, and the only reason it's resuming with 22 teams is Zion. Good to know where their priorities lie.
 
This format makes sure that teams currently seeded 7 or better will be in the playoffs, so they can just worry about seeding and getting into shape. The current 8th seeds should also at the worst be in the play-in game for the final spot (unless Grizz go 0-8).
Seems like a reasonable solution, but I would have preferred the pod groups that have been suggested.

We all know who is going to get the last spot in the West, right? There is a 100% chance that the Spurs make the playoffs. Just like every year, they somehow rise from the grave!
 
He had little time, looked just super excited and forcing to make some highlight plays. He has potential but won't contribute in the playoffs.

I'm pretty sure of that too, I was just wishing he would've got more time to get past those jitters in the regular season.

I am interested to see who'll absorb Bojan's minutes, I imagine it'll be mostly Minivan.

We will definitely see Niang a lot. Maybe Juwan Morgan if Tony struggles against certain matchups?
 
I wonder how they'll simulate a crowd environment if at all. In Germany soccer they've been playing pre-recorded fan chants.
 
A part of me asks why bother to do all this just so the Lakers can win another championship . World is going through enough as it is.
 
So our starting lineup will now be Conley/Mitchell/Ingles/Royce/Gobert. That lineup has only played 14 minutes together this season. On the bright side, they were +21 in those 14 minutes.
 
Am I the only one who feels let down by this proposal? I was so hyped for a potential World cup type tournament and what we got is so...meh...

From what I'm getting(not 100% certain) it seems like we will be playing this schedule to end the "regular season":
OKC
NOP
MEM
LAL
LAL
SAS
SAS
DAL

All western conference teams, 2 LAL games... but the other teams are under us in the standings so... I guess... it's an OK schedule to end the season with.
