2020 End of Season / Playoffs

[slaw]

Yeah no idea.. they'll want fans but they also want 70 regular season games per team to meet their TV deal requirements. I suspect they'll be back by Christmas without fans.. and then try to get fans in by the playoffs or something (maybe at half capacity). But who knows?

Texas is already saying sports can have fans at 50% capacity, so the Mavs, Spurs, Rockets could all play at home right now with fans.

I am happy the NBA is back but this plan feels like an April plan for August-September. By the fall, things will look a lot different.

Kyrie won't be seen again until he can line up with Durant. No heart ....

It's just hilarious how it was like "OH I WANT MY OWN TEAMMM I'M IN LEBRON'S SHADOW"

Now it's like: "PLZ GIVE ME A SHADOW! A SHADOW'S SO MUCH BETTER! I'LL TAKE ANY SHADOW, HEy, KEVIN????"

Man's lucky he's got an actual good nba player for a friend otherwise it might be a Kyrie/Demarcus "unsuper" team or something hahahaha

Kyrie just didn't like Lebron. The whole shadow and team thing was maybe partially true, but more a politically correct answer.

Lebron is a dad who likes to work out, drink wine, and hang out with powerful movers and shakers. Kyrie likes to smoke the funny lettuce and talk about the moon. KD is a lot closer to his type B personality than Lebron is.

LOL. I was down there a few years ago on business and we went to a pub and they were giving away 4 Panthers tix for free per table. We had 6 guys and asked if we could get two extras and the waitress literally brought over a box and told us to take as many as we want. We went to the game and I would say that there were maybe 3,000 people there and that's being generous. It was great for concessions though cause one was open behind us and it was like our personal snack bar.

So 20-21 training camp will start 3 weeks after the NBA Finals? I like it!

8 teams will have not played for over 8 months, and a few teams just wrapped up intense playoff basketball

if nothing else, will be interesting

[The Great One]

I don't undestand why the Wizards are in though? they're 24-40 LOL. I think the Hornets and the Bulls are just 1 game behind them in the standings.

does vegas know something we don't?

Ahead of Thursday's announcement that the league will resume on July 31, Caesars Sportsbook on Wednesday lowered Brooklyn's championship odds from 750-1 to 60-1. The Nets are currently the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference but could return Durant and Kyrie Irving, who underwent arthroscopic right shoulder surgery in February.

the bookee says it's just out of precaution, who knows

Definitely out of precaution. They don't want people betting on Brooklyn at some wild number and having kd show up
