We're gonna do dunked on a little bit early because we actually got some good news today

The NBA is set to approve tomorrow a plan for 22 teams to

Restart and what we want to do is look at some of the pros and cons of the approach that they picked

Then we're gonna get into at least some mail-back questions

We may have to save some of them for next time now since we got this news already before recording

But what are they doing Danny?

They are bringing back 22 of the 30 teams and

Each of those 20 22 teams is going to play eight what we're calling regular season games and

They're the NBA is maintaining the conference structure not in terms of who teams play in that quote-unquote regular season

But in terms of seeding and playoff brackets and all that then what happens is you you play those that you play everybody plays those eight games

Then if a team is with if if the ninth seed is within four games of the eighth seed

They will play up to a two game elimination

But the way it works is the eighth seed just has to win one of the two and the ninth seed has to win both

So in the east that is and then it seems like it's gonna be best to sevens after that at least as if now

That's it we don't know that for sure

But that kind of feels like based on the timelines we're getting that's probably where we're going with it

Maybe a best of five in the first round in the east just to lay out where things are right now

Because remember they're only playing eight games and it also important. We'll talk about this a lot

I think there's a lot more intrigue in the it within the eight seating within the eight rather than who gets in and that's

Gonna be in play as well, so we can talk about some of those those are but in the east

Washington is currently five and a half games behind the Orlando magic and six games behind the Brooklyn nets

Which means they basically have to win out and one of those teams has to lose out to jump to the eight
