Playoffs start today. Raptors face the Nets right now in Game 1. Can they defend their title?
They had the fairest RTP. Teams that were not eliminated from the playoffs yet were invited into the bubble. If you had a really good position before the shutdown you didn’t have to win as many games to secure your spot in the standings, and vice versa.I haven't watched a lick of NBA so far so I'm not sure.
Is the NBA having similar type of play as the NHL were teams are playing really good that shouldn't and vice versa? Wasn't the Suns or something a team that didn't lose a game going into the playoffs, but just missed. Even though no one really expected them to be that good?

Can't really blame the NHL. The players were involved in this as well. They had a return to play committee that was involved in coming up with a return to play.100%. The NBA got their return to play correct. And even one of the longshots almost got there by going 8-0 in the seeding games and missing out by a tiebreaker. The first round matchups are basically exactly what they likely would have been without the league suspension with minor shuffles of a position or two.
Good thing NHL overthought things though. Getting Chicago and Arizona a chance is sure making for entertaining actual first round though as there is nothing better than watching teams get outshot 50-20. Much more entertaining than had the leagues top scoring players got to make it.
Okay I like the jaysSMH.
Go Raps, Go Jays.
Fair enough. The return to play committee overthought things and blew it.Can't really blame the NHL. The players were involved in this as well. They had a return to play committee that was involved in coming up with a return to play.
That Porzingis ejection makes NHL refs look tame. Almost.
Not too hardcore or anything. My Aunt is a huge Raptors fan though and she really got me into it during their championship run, and with the Oilers out of the picture again, I'll be following closely this year too.Wait, you follow basketball?
What was your issue with the DeRozan era?Couldn't stand the Raps when they had Vince Carter, and then DeRozen. But I do like and enjoy the current cast of characters they employ. And of course, acquiring Leondard last season, who I've always liked, really helped, even if it was just for the one season. I hope they do well again this year.We'll see if they have a "Leonard" type of player to take a game by the throat. But I see serious growth this year in players like VanVliet and Siakim.
