* has there been any release yet of tentative schedules? Speaking of which, will each day's results determine the future schedule in that 8 game regular season?

* has there been any info on game times? Seems like there could be a lot of games to start with in that regular season. I'm wondering because a 1pm start time in Orlando would be 10am here

* the rules for the "play-in" tournament and the battle for 8th seed confuse me a little (which doesn't take much). Anybody have insight?

* is the seeding weighted? By that I mean, do the top 4 teams in each conference (for example) have a margin of error greater than the teams fighting to get in? In other words, will the high seeded teams be 'forgiven' for some unexpected losses that could drop them from a #1 seed to a #5 seed otherwise?

If the 9th place team is within 4 games of the 8th placed team, the 9th place must then with two out of 2 games against the 8th place team to earn the 8th seed.

Seeding isn’t weighted.

In the assisted living facilities, you can put your garbage bag outside in the hallway. Food is brought and left outside your door. There is no reason the players could not clean their own rooms and change their own linen. They could have designated times when players could use the hallways and elevators and other designated times for staff.

Sure.
These guys ain't made a bed their entire life pretty much and now all the sudden they are gonna do their own linen.
Then you want people to designate times for walking in hallways???? Really?
Just the very idea you want these guys to act like they are living in an assisted living facility kind of speaks volumes now doesn't it?
 
I just have to ask this, maybe someone already has but why the fuck are we having these games in Florida? Florida, California and New York lead the country in covid 19 infections....why not play these games in Canada instead? Or New Zealand....better environments for safety

Because the Wide World of Sports at Disney World has 12 courts and Disney World has a lot of hotels. Also ESPN and ABC are owned by Disney.

Not opening the park would be good for the NBA.

those workers' unions opposed to the parks reopening are the same ones that include housekeeping, janitorial, culinary and maintenance staffing that would need to be going in and out of "the Bubble" on a daily basis. they are not of the same age demographic as the NBA players and the unions' concerns are not about the restart of the NBA, but one of worker safety, for all members. as an aside it should be noted that the current surge in florida has yet to peak, much less begin to decline.

All worker safety plus their families. And their families families. And their friends families. And so on... And so on.

Wonder if Dame was one of them?

Always the bearer of dark thoughts.

Of course, maybe you meant that as a positive thing? If Dame has it, it’s probably a light case since we’ve seen him in recent videos looking healthy. If he has it now, he’s all over with it soon and we won’t have to worry about him getting it in Florida. Gee, thanks for the day brightener!

What do you mean we won't have to worry about him getting it in Florida? Just because you've recovered from Covid once doesn't mean you can't get it a 2nd time.

You seem to be a “ glass half empty, let’s dump the rest out” kind of person.
