I think even 6 teams from each conference could be enough. It is a bit tougher because thats basically not equal games, like 3 series with 2 teams ok, but than you have 3 winners, how you gonna do the rest? So I have no idea how they talked about possible 6 teams but if they could that would be great, the lesser they end up playing the better because the more you play the riskier it gets for the players, every single time they go out to play is a risk, so NBA should figure out a way to bring back the games thats fine, but they should do it in a way that it would be as little games as possible, whatever form that is I am fine with. There is also economical side of these things so I don't know what they could do, they need to figure something out thinking probably like 5 different things to keep happy about.
That cannot happen.
It will be unfair for those who have been working hard at the bottom to take the 8th spot.
Pelicans specially, they had been trying to win every game when Zion came back.
Unbalanced matches will just give them a hard time and teams are not used to it. It could bring a disaster afterwards.
Regarding season continuation, NBA will have to make some hard calls. We can see in Europe that leagues are continuing, some are even cancelling them all together and NBA is still waiting and contemplating. IF they want next season to start in reasonable time frame and to at least save some money, best solution is to play without fans at few locations. If German Bundesliga can do it, and football teams are much bigger than NBA teams, I don't see why NBA can't organize it.
I do agree.
Give the teams the go signal for training camps as long as every player and every human being that is part of the team is tested.
Then let them stay in one place, prepare their own meals and take care of each other.
It is a step to prevent someone else outside the team to infect them with the virus, also saving them a lot of money.
