I'm feeling 6-2. Though still not entirely convinced this will happen as cases in FL continue to soar

If you live out of market (like me), this is great.

The Celtics' matchups with the Bucks, Blazers and Nets will be on ESPN or ABC. Their matchups with the Heat, Raptors and Grizzlies will be on TNT.

I think the Celtics could go 6-2. Too lazy to look up Toronto schedule, but if the Celtics win against them maybe that #2 seed is still achievable?

I also think 6-2, but it’s possible we go 7-1 honestly. I liked where this team was at pre-shutdown

I love the schedule, I really don't like all those early start times. I hope the playoffs don't follow that trend or else I'm going to have to miss out on several games.

Ha, one 3:30 game and you're complaining.  Look at Brooklyn, they got 4 games that start 2:30 or earlier.

Kind of surprised to see a lot of West Coast teams getting games that start at or before 2:30pm EST though.  UTA vs SAS at 1pm, LAC vs POR at 1pm amongst others for example.

6-2 seems reasonable.  7-1 if they beat the Raps.  should lock up third at a minimum but would like to see them get #2.

  Well, since the NBA is back I gotta sharpen my whining skills!

[SparzWizard]

I see a b2b for MIA/BKN game.

On the bright side, they don't have to travel as they're playing on a neutral field. Well, except if you have to face Orlando or Miami.

Toronto’s schedule is a more difficult (they get Lakers and Bucks) but it’s still tough to see them going 3-5.  I think we’d have to go at least 7-1 to get to number 2, which is a tall order against essentially playoff competition for 8 games.

I don’t think they care, they have their mind made up that they’re gonna play

So, with essentially no home court advantage or crowds, which teams get the most advantage with this? i would think a team that stinks on the road like the Sixers or Magic or Portland would benefit since they were so horrible in opponents arena's. What do you all think? Could this make the likelihood of an upset finals winner even that more possible? I would also think this could help us as well as we have a bunch of young one's and there is less pressure playing in front of crickets. Time will tell.

For a bad road team it's quite possible they play poorly in this format because they are not at home and are technically still on the road. The lack of familiarity might be what causes the poor road performances.

Also, for those bad road teams, how will having to play afternoon games affect them? NBA players have never been fans of 12, 1 or 3:30 games and it does affect some players performances quite a bit.
