Any idea when these are being released?

The NBA approved a competitive format to resume the 2019-20 season with 22 teams returning to play and a tentative start date of July 31. We will provide more information on the league's comprehensive season restart plan as soon as it becomes available.

Everything I have heard sounds incredibly likely but they really have no plan or timetable as of yet.

I thought they said August 1 the playin round starts. I wish they would just wait now, nba can get away with playing in summer. Nhl in August is just odd

**16johnnymac** · 06-08-20, 10:23 PM

Nhl season will definitely resume however if during the time allotted to get back in shape(ie mini training camp) should the covid case begin to rise again they will not resume to finish the 2020 playoffs and will try to start the 2020/2021 season during the normal start from 2019

**16johnnymac** · 06-08-20, 10:24 PM

There was a talk show in pgh that doc emric was on and that what he said would more or less happen

**KVB** · 06-08-20, 10:26 PM

The playoff schedule for the NBA was set intially, not sure if they need games before the tourney...

Looks good except it excludes regular season games starting July 31st.

I think it's just a 22 or so team playoff and you're right no dates yet.

NBA looks stupid playing regular season just to get Zion in.

NHL Playoffs will be 24 teams

Each conference will be assigned a hub city for the playoffs
24-team postseason format
The bottom eight qualifying teams in each conference will play a best-of-5 series to get into the playoffs
The top four seeds will play in a round robin to determine seeding
Unknown if the bracket will re-seed after each round

The bottom eight teams playing best-of-5 series will use NHL Playoff rules.
Round Robin with top four teams will use regular season rules, tiebreaker will be regular season point percentage (points/games played).
I am unsure whether or not there will be travel between the two hub cities for Stanley Cup Finals.

**lakerboy** · 06-08-20, 10:51 PM

Lt u have any leans?

I like the rangers to make noise.

Total GUESS on my part here, but hub with finalist with better regular season point percentage may host entire finals.

I thought I saw they were reseeding, so if Montreal beats Pittsburgh, then they will play the 1 seed, as an example.

This is ridiculous including the playin tourney if you are within 4 games of 8th. They will be able to give them an easy "regular season" schedule as well because the west will play only 8 of the other 12 teams.

**johnnyvegas13** · 06-09-20, 09:01 AM

I feel like they should shorten the reg season part and extend the playin tiuney

Kinda surprised they chose to overlap

nba was not gonna miss out tho

**jjgold** · 06-09-20, 11:07 AM

This whole thing is sickening now

**Mike Huntertz** · 06-09-20, 12:50 PM

Hockey starts July 29th lines are posted at 5D.
A long way away so anything could happen.

**Microphone** · 06-09-20, 01:02 PM

Wait until all of this is played in front of nobody. The novelty will wear off quickly, never mind the summer for the NHL & NBA. Especially playoffs where you need and want crowds. I posted this before and I'll do it again, good luck without this.

START AT 2:56 and/or 3:48

All that matters is we have games to bet on, everything else is secondary.

I think league WANTS July 29th, but no official announcement yet.

**clockwise1965** · 06-09-20, 01:24 PM

Just shit can both seasons. By the time they crown the fake champ in both leagues. Next season will have started. Pull the plug.

No worries about next season, NBA is already set, if there is Game 7 of NBA Finals it would be October 16th and next season starts on Christmas Day.

NHL should have similar timeframe once restart date is official.
