Let’s establish this now: Does this season count?

Does the ring won in 2020 count the same as others?

Here's my thing

the nba offseason is usually like 4 months right?

the Rona would've sidelined teams for 4 months

This is basically like a new season

whoever wins, I won't respect bc it's basically an 8 game reg season at this point

yes. dudes arguing just to argue

====================

Below is everything we know about the NBA's plans to restart its season.

How many NBA teams will return to play?
  • 22 total teams
  • 13 from West
  • 9 from East


Joining the 16 teams currently in the playoffs based on NBA standings (more on those later) will be the Pelicans, Trail Blazers, Suns, Kings, Spurs and Wizards, the six teams that are currently six games or fewer behind the eighth seed in their respective conferences. That makes a total of 13 teams from the Western Conference and nine teams from the Eastern Conference. This means the seasons for the Hornets, Bulls, Knicks, Pistons, Hawks, Cavaliers, Timberwolves and Warriors have already ended.

The NBA season will restart with each of those 22 teams playing eight "regular season" games to determine playoff seeding. There also will be a play-in tournament for the No. 8 seed in either conference, but only if the No. 9 seed is fewer than four games behind in the standings. Otherwise, the No. 8 seed will be safe in the bracket.

In a play-in tournament for the No. 8 seed, the current No. 8 seed would need to defeat the No. 9 seed once, and the No. 9 seed would need to defeat the No. 8 seed two games in a row.

I think you missed the point.

22 teams is not 30 teams and therefore no, not all teams can make the playoffs cause not all teams will even be allowed to finish the regular season. first problem.

Does any team have home court even though they fought all season for it? Nope. Kinda makes the entire regular season irrelevant.

You have hand picked teams who had zero insurances they would be in the playoffs, all having a shot. No advantage to any team that worked their ass off. Players suddenly missing and sick from the teams playing. And a host of other fukkery.


You can feel how you want about counting it. But let’s stop with the “it’s the same thing” talk. This is a ncaa tournament with 7 games. shyt is garbage


The season restart would begin with eight “seeding games” for each returning team and include the possibility of a play-in tournament for the eighth and final playoff seed in each conference depending on combined records across regular-season games and seeding games.

Every playoff team from when the season ended is there + more teams.

It's as fair as it could be.
Deal with it.
