    Warriors want that #1 pick so they can trade it, plus Wiggins, for their KD replacement.

    The way things are looking in the States, the chance the season starting up is slim 🙁. I hope things get better soon not just for sports but for everyone 🙏🏾

    This is stupid. Going straight into playoffs is a bad idea. Not fair for the teams plus it will be mediocre playoff basketball. Not many players will be in game shape forget playoff shape. This playoffs will never feel right, too many disadvantages or advantages to some teams over the other.

    The NBA is returning. The US is under extreme pressure to reopen, more people are going to die because they have nothing to work for than this coronavirus.

    Why is the NBA so eager to resume the season where the virus is killing people and more confirmed cases are happening. Can they just focus on the safety of people? Amazing

    get the top 12 on each conference play 8-12 games before proceeding to playoffs, make 1st and 2nd round 5 game series each while keeping conference finals and finals 7 game series

    Do whatever you can to get the finals done. If it is #1 vs #1, so be it. Ideally, you’d include, at the very least, the top four teams from each conference to duke it out. That may sound unfair to people struggling for #8, but better to have a champion than not.

    The last time a BOTTOM 4 seed made the finals was 1995, quit whining if you’re an 11 seed, you were just gonna get stomped by the Lakers or Bucks

      The 1999 Knicks were the last bottom 4 seed to make the Finals. The 1995 Rockets were the last to win the Finals. Still get your point tho
