Reasonable explanation of how the 22 teams into 16 play off spots thing will work.

The latest LowePost pod with Pelton is also good for an analysis

Watching NBA classics on ESPN right now. 99-2000 season and it’s Raptors v Suns after the 2000 All-Star game and Vince goes for 50.
That Suns team though were very good. Plenty of talent - Penny, JKidd, Cliff Robinson, Tom Gugliota, Longley, Marion, Rodney Rogers. Unfortunately for them they came up against a rampant Lakers in the 2nd round.

Super excited for the restart, getting close now with all the teams in Orlando. Lakers to win it all, for Kobe!

Head says Clippers, Heart says Lakers
Hope Giannis makes the leap and gives either a cracking series.

I genuinely think it's impossible to tip. No crowds or home court throws it wide open. Who knows how players will react as the season goes on and they are locked up for a longer period.
This might be the break the Bucks needed. I tipped the Lakers earlier in the year, thinking the Kobe emotion might be enough to lift them to the title. But in a sterile arena that emotional push ebbs away, you'd think.
But it wouldn't shock me if a team like Houston or Miami came from the clouds. Or a settled, experienced team like Toronto.

I can't see anyone outside Clips, Lakers or Bucks getting up, absent some serious injuries. Houston, OKC could steal a few games, but over 7 games will ultimately get found out.

I have a confession. I am not addicted to collecting basketball cards. Group breaks, buying individual cards, getting them graded, boxing boxes.
oh dear....But so fun.

Steven Adams came prepared.

@Bovidae Love it. All the other players will be rolling in with their LV, Gucci and Coach luggage, and Our Steve rocks up with some apples and what looks to be a rifle.

Also wearing scuffs and what looks like a dust mask

This was the accompanying article.
The NBA tweeted a photo of the Thunder’s arrival in Orlando. Chris Paul was pictured in a sweatsuit with at least three bags. Adams, from what we see in the photo, didn’t have a suitcase with him, but he sure had what appeared to be three bags of groceries. Anyone who’s followed him wouldn’t be the least bit surprised. The idea of Adams bringing his own food to Orlando is humorous and believable, considering the fact that some photos of some less-than-appetizing looking food being provided to players within the bubble were sent around on social media on Monday. Perhaps Adams had someone help with his luggage. Or maybe he made two trips. It’s also possible that he stashed some clothes in his guitar case or in the backpack he’s wearing… But truth be told, if we were to find out that he traveled to Orlando with three pairs of shorts, six t-shirts and two pairs of flip flops, nobody that follows the Thunder would be surprised. -
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The NBA's MVP race is over. So is the battle for every other individual regular-season trophy. The league told teams Friday that none of the seeding games will be taken into consideration for any postseason award, and that voting for those honors -- such as All-NBA, rookie of the year and defensive player of the year -- will be completed before the July 30 restart of the season at Walt Disney World. Typically, those votes are cast closer to the end of the regular season. So the postseason races are still going in many cases, but the individual award chases are now complete. "The decision to exclude seeding games from awards voting ensures a fair process in which players and coaches from all 30 teams will have the same opportunity to be honored as top performers for the regular season," the NBA wrote in a memo sent to teams Friday. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the memo. Only 22 of the league's 30 teams are participating in the NBA restart.
