141 days off a very long time after the NBA on March 11, an event that before the terrible seriousness too many Americans indicate COVID-19 championship of its 2019-2020 season on Thursday to restart with a national television doubleheader: the New Orleans Pelicans and Utah Jazz face at 6:30 pm from the east, while the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Los Angeles Clippers to 9; Both games will be broadcast on TNT. At one point, fans, league officials and players an NBA season could have thought to be another sign that America’s new coronavirus has arisen from the bad. Unfortunately tip-off is not a sign of improvement in public health: July saw a record increase in new cases of daily COVID-19; were only reported more than 60,000 new COVID-19 case in the US Already in March, no one would have thought that the NBA would resume, 141 days later, on July 28, making things worse. But we are here. tipoff today is a sober reminder, when America was and how far to go, the country has to overcome COVID-19 were 344 players to COVID-19 tested in “Orlando bubble” NBA since last results announced on 20 July is back to zero at the same time, the idea of basketball as a pleasant distraction yet, especially given yesterday’s good news continues positive test. It is early. Players can do stupid things, like visiting a facility for adults to eat wings from Atlanta to pierce the bubble of security NBA. But so far, the security protocols-no NBA double table tennis, boys-work. And football teams, while Corona took a baseball team, the Miami Marlins, struggling temporarily from the program, and during eruptions COVID-19 universities, we can for now, watch basketball with a clear conscience. The Orlando players suffered deleterious health effects, while we tried to entertain. There are so many look forward to resuming with basketball. Such as: The race for 8 The most fascinating aspect of “games” sowing -The eight races will play all 22 teams to determine which teams make the playoffs, and where they fall on the hook chasing the last point -is in the playoffs Western Conference. By virtue of their record in the NBA stop, the Memphis Grizzlies currently hold this slot, with three teams Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings New Orleans Pelicans and 3.5 games behind Memphis in the standings, the San Antonio Spurs four games behind Phoenix and rear Suns 6 with this just to play. 8 (After planting games when the team is four games with the best record eighth in the conference or not before the team with the best record ninth, there will be a “play-in” series, in which the ninth seed l ‘ eighth seed postseason) must kill two straight games to go. The entire basketball universe seems to draw pelicans and a potential first round matchup between New Orleans lustful, rookie moving edge Zion Williamson, and Los Angeles Lakers, the current top seed in the West, and LeBron James have Anthony Davis , a former star of New Orleans. It would be really great. But Memphis is not to be seen as a mere consolation prize make the playoffs: Rookie point guard Morant Yes, the real deal is that the team experienced goes far beyond his years. Lights Out LeBron total reversal of the planet over the last 141 days given to forgive yourself if you forget that in his 17th NBA season and, at the age of 35, LeBron James is still very much on top of his game; It leads the NBA, for example in assists per game at 10.6. If he argues, is for him the second oldest player to win ever to win the title with Steve Nash an assist when he 37 and only the sixth NBA players, in addition to James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Jerry West, Tiny Archibald and Oscar Roberston-both scoring and assists titles to his name (James led the NBA in points per game back in 2007-2008, with 30). The man has been for nearly two decades in his prime. At the head of a third NBA team to a championship, as he would have with the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers his case G.O.A.T. improve just made (greatest of all time) debate that is not away anytime soon. During the arrest, Michael Jordan had the opportunity to make his case on the screen, on the popular documentary The Last Dance. LeBron now given a chance on the field. Shiny ship Clips’ Although star sixth man Lou Williams will serve the beginning of the season, should have had another one for some wings in Atlanta, Los Angeles team to his desire quarantined, the Clippers still a strong franchise winning shot first time Title. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George Front a roster of talented loads. Los Angeles had the second best record in the West before turning off, and they were never completely healthy; George, for example, lost 22 games. We will see a Clippers team at full load in Orlando? Where is home? In traditional times, the Lakers and Clippers share a house at Staples Center, which could have led to an unusual event: When the teams met, for example, in the Western Conference finals, it would be a real home advantage ? Lakers fans would buy tickets for home games Clippers? “Now, no fans in the stands and all games on a campus at Walt Disney World, is home court just a mirage. Which, for the fans, could increase competition. Home Teams trigger screams from the fans excitement can often put away the game with an asterisk race. Without such a hurry, this neutral site games are closer? While a best-of-seven playoff series, a change of scenery momentum often overwhelmed: a loser win game 4 at home, a number or cut into a deficit, and then the deterioration falls suffered in game 5 on the road, their chances of victory. Without home court the playing field could be leveled. We can see another 7s game than ever before? on the other works hand home advantage in both directions in the playoffs: the home crowd, the least talented team can guide you to a win or two. Without it, the bottom teams do not always have a chance? We can see more sweeps? This is s ol another element of a fascinating experiment sport. The Milwaukee Bucks Freaked Leap enter the bladder with the NBA’s best record at 53-12. Their best players, Giannis Antetokounmp (also known as “The Greek Freak”) are likely to win a second straight MVP award on the strength of his 29.9 points, 13.7 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, not the his talk of efficiency, such as shooting 55% from the field. LeBron James and Stephen Curry are the other two players MVP won back-to-back over the past decade; Antetokounmpo is 25. It is expected it would continue to improve its three-point shot, you probably have not seen the best of the unusual. The Bucks, however, were disappointing in recent Postseasons. They finished with the best record in the Eastern Conference a year ago, before the Toronto Raptors in six games in the conference finals bounced out. Antetokounmpo is a free agent next summer. Busy to Milwaukee slightly lower than the first NBA Finals appearance of the team since 1974, when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the middle, feels like a failure. The 2020 final will take place in October, in addition to the baseball playoffs. The NBA restart is unlikely to be perfect. But it is bound to any sports fan to be something you will never forget.
