Toronto Raptors
It's going to take a long time to crown an NBA champion, too long it seems
Now, I think its too ambitious with too many teams, too many chances for it to go off the rails and the longer lasting impact is going to be pretty hard to stomach in some places.

TBD but last report I saw was families would join players for playoffs if they wanted. But many questions remain@SmithRaps Wondering if players will be isolated from their families once play resumes. -
This would certainly be a thing of interest and importanceAs the NBA and MLS look to resume play in Florida, pay close attention to Florida’s numbers over the coming days and weeks. https://t.co/mZ3Oo75rxk

RT @olearychris: For the it’s-not-so-bad-in-Canada crowd. The thing that sticks with me with this story, beyond the senseless violence, is Orlando’s ability to forgive. He’s an unbelievable human being and we’re lucky we didn’t lose him when he was attacked. https://t.co/BA5VXXI1OO -
Depending on how they determine which teams play which teams in those eight "regular season" games, hard to imagine Raptors falling out out 2nd seed in he East; tough to blow a 3-game lead on Boston in just eight games.So the NBA's inviting 22 teams to Orlando: 13 Western Conference, 9 Eastern Conference. Eight-regular season games per team. Play-in for the 8th seeds. July 31-October 12. Vote tomorrow to ratify. The NBA's back.

Raptors are in good shape and can afford to ease their way back a bit, but they would still have something to play for. They're 3.0 games up on Boston for 2nd. Still advantageous to lock it down and avoid Philly or Indy in Round 1.Each of the 22 teams will play eight regular season games in Orlando for seeding purposes for the playoffs, sources tell ESPN. -
The main things left to be detailed, at least to me - How many RS games will each team end up playing? 70? 72? And how do they populate the rest of the schedule? - Do they reseed once they get to playoffs (I’d guess no).Sources: NBA commissioner Adam Silver is planning to propose a 22-team format to resume the 2019-20 season Story on @TheAthleticNBA with full details of the play-in tournament for 8th seed: https://t.co/d7X3X6uCNI -
Lots of thoughtful voices here:In speaking with Miller, Egi, Nurse, Griffin, and more, the message in the Canadian basketball community is consistent: "It’s not enough to be non-racist. You have to be anti-racist, you have to take action." https://t.co/Dcg3Ct9i5K
