The NBA is down to the conference finals we have been provided with upsets galore. Here are some important notes on the NBA playoffs schedule 2020:
- The league is going on to push the pace with games every day, except in the East, where ESPN wants a break in order not to clash with the NFL as well as to let the West catch up. The fast pace will come back with the NBA Finals.
- Families for the players with the final four now the coaches are included in the bubble.
- The NBA Finals will start on September 30 if Miami closes the Easter Conference Finals out in 6 games or will start on October 2 if the series goes seven games.
