Well, we’re finally here.
The NBA playoffs.
After what we thought was a normal season. After a season suspension. After a restart — in the bubble, at Orlando, in Disney — with a total of 22 teams playing eight seeding games over two weeks. After stumbling upon a brilliant concept with the play-in series, and perhaps a blueprint for future seasons.
We are here.
And this might almost feel completely normal — if it weren’t for the all-day playoff extravaganza.
Now, it’s down to the games and best-on-best. No more player rest.
