The way I read all this is:
1.) East - each team plays all the other teams once. West - how will they determine which 8 teams you play? Maybe based on which teams you have played less already during the season?
2.) If either 8 seed finishes four games ahead (4+? Or >4?)
- Magic are +5 on the Wizards. So if they hold lead, there will be no play-in in east
- Grizzlies are +4 on the field. So all their fans that complain ... they can put money where mouth is and if they hold lead, can advance directly. But we all know they had hardest schedule remaining. Will be hard to keep lead on five other teams.
- Not sure how this works for teams that have played different number of games to date
3.) In East, if there is a play-in, it will be first team to win two games between Magic (or Nets if Magic pass them) and Wizards.
4.) In West, there are five teams competing for the nine seed. (1) Worst two play, and (2) winner plays one of other four. Remaining two play each other. (3) Winner of those two games then plays for the nine seed. (4) Winner plays in best of three with the Grizzlies ... or theoretically the Mavs, although that’s almost impossible.
If this is true, from Spurs’ perspective, key will be to avoid the bottom two and an extra play-in game.
Okay. It's an asterisk if there ever was one.
It will be interesting if anyone in the NBA has a big jump in improvement when the season returns? Having essentially a 2nd offseason (3-4 months) within the season.
At this point does anyone really care about this season anymore? I know I'm over it and I would rather just see the league getting ready for next season.
I meant individual players.
It’ll be interesting to see if Kawhi’s quad explodes.
I mean, if you wait a week later, then I’ll just be the ‘21 season instead of 2020-2021...

Welp, just as I suspected, we will have a finish to the season.
I do wonder, though, the course of action if we are in the first RD of the playoffs and a big name comes up positive. Do they quarantine that guy and wait 2 weeks for his recovery to resume play? Or is it sorry, not sorry?
So I take it to mean either Spurs make PO or we get the 11th best odds. not to bad i guess.
