Episode 22 - Bubble-licious, The NBA is Back!

This week around the NBA, Andy and Liam are excited to chat about the return of the NBA season starting July 31st. The vote has officially been approved by the NBA Board of Governors as a result of a 22-team return to be played in Orlando at the Walt Disney World Resort. The proposal includes a bubble-like scenario where all 22 teams will be in conjunction with each other, tested daily, and stay at the surrounding hotels. Room service will not be provided, showers at the arenas after games will be excluded, and seats will be empty. With a 22 team return, 13 teams in the West and 9 teams in the East will battle it out for the top 8 spots with a remainder of 8 regular season games left to play, along with an AAU-like style play requiring teams to play at least one back-to-back game. The last possible date for the NBA season to end will be October 12, only if a Game 7 in the Finals were to be played. With that being said, no, this will not look normal and there are still multiple uncertainties, but optimism within the league remains hopeful as they put their trust in NBA commissioner Adam Silver. Enjoy.
