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.

If the Lakers play the next 8 games on their schedule against teams invited to Orlando, their schedule looks like this:

Suns
Kings
Clippers
Thunder
Kings
Pacers
Wizards
Raptors

The Jazz don't come up in their next 8 games. But even if the Jazz do play the Lakers, the Lakers will probably have the top seed in the west wrapped up after the first 3 or 4 games, and they'll probably be limiting players' minutes to reduce the risk of injury.

I was disappointed. They could have done the group stage and had automatic playoff bids for the top two teams and then had the remaining six spots seeded based on record. Gives teams a chance, tries something new, doesn’t discount the regular season.

Without Bojan I could see is going like 3-5 or 2-6 with that schedule. Seeding is still based on conference right? We likely slide but not sure it matters. I’d rather play any team that isn’t Houston... just need a different team. I expect we are ousted in first round but I’ll be hoping for the best!

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.

That group is fine... it’s the JC, Niang, Bradley bench that is gonna be a problem.

I think Mudiay will be back in the rotation and taking some of the minutes.

I forgot he existed. No need to play Niang with Mudiay and JC... find anyone that can defend... those guys gonna put up contested jumpers no matter who is on the floor. Not saying it’s a bad thing just that is what will happen.
 
So you Jazz fans are happy to participate in this idiocy?

My Knicks play real basketball, not "Let's all live together in one hotel and sing "Kumbaya." Bunch of losers getting involved in this stupidity. My Knicks have the 2019/2020 Larry O'Brien Trophy. We love it. You losers are involved in something dumber than the Williamsport little league tournament. Are the Jazz players' mommies and daddies going to room with them?

Pathetic.

Agree completely!

I heard Dolan isn’t going to raise a banner... it’s only the second dumbest thing he’s done in the last few days.

Next year he will surely land some amazing FAs... knicks are on the rise.

this isn’t to say that what’s going on isn’t bigger than sports, but since the virus hit I hardly have time for myself. Nothing but work and sleep, and I’m sick of Netflix. I’m going crazy, and sports would be just the medicine I need to have the occasional escape from this ****, and maybe just maybe it would be a relief for everyone, maybe it would help with the rioting and so on.

Only legitimate champ would be if Melo got that ball hog Dame to pass him the ball so he could lead Portland to a title one contested 18 footer at a time... jabstepping to the title!

Even with that moron Dolan around our players dug in and got the job done last season. Final game of the year Knicks beat the Hawks. We are the Champions.

Face it: THE SEASON ENDED MARCH 11th!
Rudy Gobert made sure of that.

What we have now is nonsense. It doesn't count. Why do it?
Let's just get ready for 2020/2021 and see if you can take the Larry O'Brien Trophy from us.

I think it’s part of Rudy’s plan to eventually leave us for the Knicks.

We don't want him.

Gobert has been outed as a poison in the locker room. Hell, even nice guy Donovan Mitchell can't stand him. Besides we've already got one Frenchman on the team. Frank Ntilikina plays with a beret covering his eyes. He can't hit a shot.

I don't know basketball doesn't seem as important to me this year with everything that has happened.

No, but it will be really nice to have something else to think about or watch other than all this depressing stuff going on. I understand its important stuff but I just want a break to take part of something I enjoy every once in awhile ya know?
