NBA season 2019/20
-
All the latest info around a possible resumption:
I've said previously that I think the NBA would need to get to 70 games in order to give the teams just outside the play off picture the chance to qualify. I think if a team just outside the play-offs but with games in hand couldn't play those games, team owners could lawyer-up.
Another option which I think would be fun viewing is to scrap the RS and play an FA Cup style knock-out comp. Teams would be seeded based on current standings and still grouped into Eastern and Western conferences, but the #1 seed in each conference would play a series against the bottom seed etc, teams would then advance to conference finals and the NBA Finals.

The NHL was at a similar point in their season when they stopped and seem to be leaning towards a 24-team playoff format. That would mean that 7 teams are eliminated when the season resumes but 8 additional teams make the playoffs. In the NBA, it's only the WC where there are a couple of teams on the bubble so they probably don't need to be so generous.

Legend of a coach. Longevity and to keep evolving his team after Stockton and Malone showed just how good he was.

An interesting idea floated is a World Cup style pool stage, followed by a traditional finals format. Top 20 teams are placed in four pools of five, and play eachother twice each before the play-offs are locked in.
More details here, but I love it as a concept.

@mariner4life I wonder if they'll try and manoeuvre to avoid scheduling clashes with NFL - they would get crushed in the ratings.

I think the public have been so sports starved they will binge watch all of it

Loved the last Dance overall, but agree with @voodoo above who said it could've been cut in half in terms of length.
Unpopular opinion (on here) but I think Lebron is the GOAT even more than MJ now.
Doc Rivers says it better than me (although he still thinks its MJ):

Yep. Tim Southee took about a thousand wickets in Perth and Melbourne. He must also be the GOAT.
Isn’t he though?
