@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):
"We Didn't Allow LeBron That": Doc Rivers Reveals Why NBA Has been Unfair to LeBron James Compared to Michael Jordan - EssentiallySports
Many have drawn comparisons between Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Doc Rivers churned a different perspective to the debate.

I like math. I love sport.
I really fucking hate math in sport.

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

@ACT-Crusader any cricket shots to be found? It'll take more than a few dirty slogs on an Intermediate School oval to change my mind
-
@ACT-Crusader Yes, you can have that one. Helluva day out.

I was watching an interview with Woj last night. The problem is that some of the sub 0.500 teams don't seem that interested in resuming the season with little to play for, while others want to be involved despite a remote chance of being competitive in the playoffs. And then some of the small market teams have been vocal in needing to play for their survival. The NBA will need to keep all parties happy.

make them play.
22 teams is too many anyway. The East already had their playoff teams sorted out, the Wizards are 6 games back in 9th
In the West maybe Portland could get in being only 3 back, but fuck 'em. Win more during the regular season.
Realistically only 3 teams can win the comp anyway.
-
@Bovidae The problem is there is quite a big gap between some of the playoff teams & fringe playoff teams. Dallas (7th) has 11 more wins than Portland (9th) in the West and for example.
@mariner4life Yeah that's the other problem - Portland are basically on the same wins as 2/3 other teams so if you let Portland in you might as well let the others in. Plus one of the 'others' has Zion so that will help tv viewership.
-
@KiwiMurph The unknown is whether the 22 teams would be the best 11 from each conference or the 22 teams with the best overall record. It should be the top 22 teams based on their overall record.

To answer my own question:
The NBA has been advancing on a plan that would include regular-season, play-in and playoff games for the 16 teams currently holding playoff position -- and six more teams within six games of the eighth seed in each conference, sources said. Those teams include New Orleans, Portland, San Antonio, Sacramento and Phoenix in the Western Conference -- and Washington in the East, sources said.
