Important Notes on NBA playoffs schedule 2020

 

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:

  1. 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.
  2. Families for the players with the final four now the coaches are included in the bubble.
  3. 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.
