Tied game in game 1 of the NBA 1997 Finals with Karl Malone at the line. Scottie whispers "mailman doesn't deliver on Sundays".
Malone misses both free throws and Jordan hits the buzzer beater.

Wow, I am really missing basketball. One year ago today, we defeated Orlando and moved on to take on the 76ers. The only good think about COVID-19 is that the Raps can be the champions a little longer. :lol:

Tristan Thompson said yesterday the Bulls were invincible with Rodman. Tell me something most people dont already know. Bulls don't win anymore titles without Dennis.
He told MJ and the rest of the team along with Phil Jackson, wait your ass while I roll to Vegas..and they did.

So now that it's been established Jordan is the goat, who's second best of all time?

Kobe?
Magic?
Wilt?
Bird?

I guess they're talking about a late July playoff schedule

Do you guys think if this NBA season resumes the champion should have an asterisk around it?

Wow I feel old....20 years ago today...a 29 year old version of myself sat in the last row up top of a shining new Staples Center for "Bryant to Shaq"...the greatest sporting moment my eyes have watched live...and I've been lucky...no Kobe makes this emotional, no lie...I knew when he died it would paint everything a different shade...

NBA is back July 31st!

The link has the breakdown of how everything is going to work.

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba- ... s-to-know/

Key dates
These are based on reporting from Shams Charania of The Athletic and ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, and they are not set in stone. But this is a ballpark of the timeline the league is aiming toward.

June 15: International players return to markets
June 21: All players report
June 22: Coronavirus testing begins
June 30: Beginning of training camps
July 7: Travel to Orlando
July 31: Beginning of restarted 2019-20 season
Aug 25: NBA Draft Lottery
Oct. 12: Game 7 of the NBA Finals (if necessary)
Oct. 15: NBA Draft
Oct. 18: Start of free agency
Nov. 10: Training camps for 2020-21 season begin
Dec. 1: Opening night for 2020-21 season
Each team's eight-game closing schedule
This is not official.


BOSTON CELTICS vs. Bucks, Wizards, Raptors, Nets, Wizards, Blazers, Grizzlies, Heat

BROOKLYN NETS vs. Clippers, Kings, Wizards, Celtics, Magic, Clippers, Magic, Blazers

DALLAS MAVERICKS vs. Suns, Clippers, Kings, Blazers, Suns, Rockets, Jazz, Bucks

DENVER NUGGETS vs. Spurs, Lakers, Clippers, Thunder, Raptors, Heat, Spurs, Thunder

HOUSTON ROCKETS vs. Lakers, Blazers, Kings, Bucks, Mavericks, Pacers, 76ers, Raptors

INDIANA PACERS vs. 76ers, Heat, Suns, Magic, Rockets, Kings, Clippers, Lakers

L.A. CLIPPERS vs. Nets, Pelicans, Mavericks, Nuggets, Suns, Nets, Pacers, Thunder

L.A. LAKERS vs. Rockets, Nuggets, Jazz, Jazz, Raptors, Pacers, Trail Blazers,* Heat or Magic*

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES vs. Blazers, Jazz, Spurs, Thunder, Bucks, Pelicans, Pelicans, Celtics

MIAMI HEAT vs. Bucks, Pacers, Thunder, Nuggets, Suns, Celtics, Raptors, *Lakers or Trail Blazers*

MILWAUKEE BUCKS vs. Celtics, Heat, Grizzlies, Wizards, Rockets, Wizards, Mavericks, Raptors

NEW ORLEANS PELICANS vs. Kings, Jazz, Clippers, Spurs, Grizzlies, Kings, Grizzlies, Magic

OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER vs. Jazz, Wizards, Grizzlies, Nuggets, Heat, Nuggets, Suns, Clippers

ORLANDO MAGIC vs. Pacers, Kings, Nets, Nets, Pelicans, 76ers, Raptors, Lakers or Trail Blazers*

PHILADELPHIA 76ERS vs. Pacers, Wizards, Raptors, Blazers, Suns, Rockets, Magic, Spurs

PHOENIX SUNS vs. Mavericks, Pacers, Clippers, Mavericks, 76ers, Wizards, Heat, Thunder

PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS vs. Grizzlies, Rockets, Mavericks, 76ers, Celtics, Nets, Lakers,* Heat or Magic*

SACRAMENTO KINGS vs. Pelicans, Nets, Mavericks, Rockets, Magic, Pelicans, Pacers, Spurs

SAN ANTONIO SPURS vs. Nuggets, Grizzlies, Pelicans, Jazz, Jazz, Nuggets, Kings, 76ers

TORONTO RAPTORS vs. 76ers, Celtics, Nuggets, Lakers, Bucks, Rockets, Heat, Magic

UTAH JAZZ vs. Thunder, Pelicans, Grizzlies, Lakers, Lakers, Spurs, Spurs, Mavericks

WASHINGTON WIZARDS vs. Celtics, Thunder, 76ers, Nets, Bucks, Celtics, Suns, Bucks

Play-in tournament
Once each team has played its remaining eight-game schedule, the Nos. 1-7 seeds in each conference, at least, will be locked in. At that point, if the No. 9 seed is within four games of the No. 8 seed, there will be a play-in series for the final spot in each conference.

Playoff format
Same as always. Once the eight seeds in each conference are determined via the mechanisms above, seven-game series will commence with traditional formatting. This means no group-stage format or 1-16 inter-conference seeding. Yes, I find this very boring and wildly disappointing given the opportunity the league had to try something new and fun.
