NBA Basketball is Back! Here’s 5 Things to Watch Out For

After a long hiatus, NBA basketball finally returns to the airwaves starting this Thursday, July 30 for the conclusion of the 2019-20 regular season and forthcoming playoffs. The 22-team bubble constructed at Disney World in Orlando, FL is unlike anything the sporting community as ever seen, setting the stage for a once-in-a-lifetime finish to an unforgettable campaign.

Brace for the Unpredictable

The Orlando bubble is already one of the most unconventional chapters in NBA history, so look for coaches to follow suit with some potentially wild lineups and rotations. Houston already began utilizing an entirely small-ball lineup earlier this year and in a scrimmage last Wednesday afternoon, Denver rolled out an all-six-seven-or-taller starting five with seven-footer Nikola Jokiu0107 at point guard and 7-3 two-way rookie Bol Bol at small forward.
