    I like single elimination tournament. Seed all 30 teams based on record 1 through 30. First round games hosted by higher seed with the top two teams getting a first round bye. Then have four regions hosted by the top 4 teams for the sweet sixteen/ great eight rounds. Final four then hosted by higher remaining seed. Would make for some fun. I might actually watch if they went to a single elimination type of playoff.

    You are probably correct. I just wish ticketmaster would realize this and refund me on some ticket purchases.

    Virginia already extended the shutdown throughjune and you meed over a hundred people to show an NBA game without a hundred people in the arena even if you have no fans. Youbstilk meed, media, security, assistants, cleaners, I dont see the aeason resuming this year. Practice facilities are also closed right now so many of these players wont be in game shape by june.

    Best way forward is to play out the regular season at two neutral sites, games running all day ...just like a pre-season to get players back into shape. Then a single elimination playoffs. Get it over with as quickly as possible.

    No fans obviously.

    Bahamas has been mentioned

    I'm guessing they don't have many cases

    The Chinese Basketball Association suspended its season in February and planned to resume in April. Then May. Now, it’ll be even later.

    Oh look its the dumb shit who saus hes going to leave the site every 2 months.

    Toronto is the 2 seed in the east, they wont just move on without them, and Toronto isnt looking to different data than everyone else. Everyone is looking at the sam data and models, suggesting 2_3 months of a shutdown in many states is likely.
    I feel like im picking on a 2 year old here, go back,to arguing topbet will close in a month. I own you in every thread.

    Nna practice facilities arent even open dumb shit, by june most players wont even be in game shape.

    Yeah Chinas government is vile and theyve been lying about the virus the whole time. Their claim that all the new cases in wuhan are imported is trash.

    Its a disgrace that organizations like the who continue to suck China off the same as cnn when this government continues to lie and coverup the facts. Their is very srong evidence the death toll in wuhan and china is much higher than reported.

    Thing is most players aren't even touching a basketball right now so it's going to take at least a couple weeks for them to get it all back. Two weeks is about a dozen games, so may as well go a few extra to complete the season.

    I read that in Italy they're going to finish their season and start the next one immediately after! I could see the season ending in September and picking up again the same month. Cram the draft & FA into a couple weeks - FA doesn't last that long anyway for the big names. Maybe if they took this route they could have travel & fans.

    More talk of cancellation now. Possibly a negotiating ploy re the cut, but I think the more time passes the less everyone involved gives a shit. I prefer they let it go and pick up with the draft & summer league ASAP.
