Fuck that. Middle of summer isn't nba season. Just cancel and concentrate on next year. This year's champion would always have an asterisk anyway

I'm excited to have any sport to watch in August (baseball ain't coming back). I don't agree about the asterisk, as stated above.

I just don't care. Pretty funny the bulls don't make the cut though

Whatever format they choose these playoffs should do monster ratings. Hopefully it ends up being exciting. This could be one of the most shared NBA memories among casual fans for a long time. There's no way we all watch this together and then shrug at the end like, "well there weren't fans in the building so it doesn't count."*
Bammer's caveat applied here.
Going into October? Hmph. This post may not age well.
I just want sports, very glad the season isn't being cancelled. Yet.

I've pretty much lost interest in football, so the NBA can go year round as far as I'm concerned.

It's a career wrap for Vince Carter if the Hawks aren't in whatever it is they are doing.

Are the playoffs going to be the same? That always feels stretched out but with no travel time I'm sure that will condense each series.
I like this idea; it could be a fun watch. If, of course, it doesn't all fall down because of an outbreak.
Between this & soccer Orlando would become the center of the US sports universe for a couple months.

If they manage to play a full playoff schedule, then I don't see why there would be an asterisk.
Only if a team is ravaged by the virus, or if key players need to be taken out and quarantined.

There will always be an asterisk. This is literally going to be Mickey Mouse garbage.

Every season since 1998 has had an asterisk for you!
