2025 NBA Season

[Reid]

Good read guys.

I will grab just a little in that article.

Milwaukee was on track for 70 wins most of the season. That milestone is out now, but a championship was always the goal, and the Bucks are the favorite to come out of the East. I wouldn't call them the clear favorite. I still question a team that relies on its best player to put his head down and barrel to the rim, and I don't think I'm alone in that.

You can see in numbers 1 and 2 of the article he always says. "Anything could happen"
Without the homecourt advantage, any team can win in season or in playoffs.
Might as well ignore those screen that is showing a "homecourt advantage like" basketball floor.
Be careful with your bets.

Right now that revenue has surely decreased with the less viewership in TV's, no promotion for months and no tickets to be sold. Well, they can still get revenues from ads on TV but it's really a huge loss on merchandise and tickets I suppose.

Homecourt reaaaally doesn't mean anything anymore, there is no fans and that is one of the worst parts I do agree with that but there is also literally no "home" court neither, everyone is in Orlando and all games are played in the same places, so there will not be a "home" to anyone at all, everyone will play at the same place and that is why it doesn't matter who finishes where in the seeding as well as long as you go to playoffs.

Secondly, it matters in the sense that if you are playing 1st seed versus 8th seed, even if there is no home court, there is a psychological fight that goes on when you talk about the difference in talent and there is a reason why first seed is the first seed and the 8th seed is 8th seed for a reason so unless we are talking about 4th versus 5th, it matters to show you are better.

This is a different playoffs, it's expected that surprises will happen here. 
Bad for the teams who are in the top as they've been playing hard to also get that home court advantage, but in the bubble there will be none.
Anyway, this would give us fans a chance to see if which team are really good even not playing at their home.

Team record always matters but like I said, there might be a lot of surprises in the bubble.
NBA has been off for awhile, they just resume and not in their comfortable places.

as we can see. https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/win-pct-all-games

Lakers and Bucks owns the most home wins, these are the best teams in the NBA now, but let see if without a home court, they can still be consistent in winning.

I guess the rest of our national basketball players is enough to play again, I think they are eager to show because they all have been assigned indoors too long during a lockdown, So if we are thinking about weather condition, we can't deny that it seems like a good tune.2020 NBA is a part of our life to enjoy aside from business, I'm sure that the game can make people happy most especially to all pandemic victims.

Weather condition should not be a problems for the team as they are just playing in one venue, no need for them to travel anymore.
If the weather bad, they can just postpone the game for another day, that's it, and besides NBA is played inside the arena, an indoor type of game.

I know everyone is excited, not only those victims of covid-19 literally as we are all victims of it, it took our freedom to go out and do our usual activity.

[chaser15]

Let's put some figure as evidence to compare the NBA and WNBA market, so we will know why NBA has resume and WNBA didn't

Just in case you missed mate, WNBA resumed their season.

And no need for comparing their market. WNBA only has 12 teams and have a 36 games overall in a season.

WNBA resume is easy to prepare compare to NBA so that's what I'm thinking why they push the resume.

Because without the presence of a live audience, homecourt is not a deciding factor in winning a match, now to win the match
there is about talent and determination. So a team that has a good lineup, is very likely to win even if playing away. There is
no more influence playing home, all teams will have the same pressure.

[Captain Corporate]

 Fans are not the only factor though, when you are playing home court at your own state, you are at your home, you are with your family, you get out of your own bed, kiss your wife good bye, you talk to your kids and kiss them good bye as well, you eat at your own kitchen, basically you are all doing stuff at your home. Your driver picks you up, he takes you to the court, and from waking up to going to court you do you. When you are at an away game, team picks you up, puts you on a plane, stucks you into a hotel and you go from there with the team bus, nothing remotely similar.

 Hence I think now everyone at an even fair. There was few times when 8th seed beat first seed in NBA history, but if there is one potential for something like that, its this year, I could see something like that could happen because this period was a major unseen period.

You are right, in fact they have a game now, there's a betting odds available in one of the sportsbook I'm using.

Better, also be updated on who will get out of the bubble due to emergency reasons or if they are suddenly infected by the virus.
It will be a big impact if those names are role players of their respective teams.

Secondly, it matters in the sense that if you are playing 1st seed versus 8th seed, even if there is no home court, there is a psychological fight that goes on when you talk about the difference in talent and there is a reason why first seed is the first seed and the 8th seed is 8th seed for a reason so unless we are talking about 4th versus 5th, it matters to show you are better.

Yeah, they made those screens just for us who are watching in our televisions.
Just to identify whose court it is,.. or not. 

Team record always matters but like I said, there might be a lot of surprises in the bubble.

Those surprises could be anything.
We don't have a lot of media personnel inside.
Some of the news we rely on NBA being transparent but, it doesn't always end that way.
We may be shocked that one player just suddenly didn't play without even giving away the reasons.

I'm reading this article now,

The $353M Giannis unknown, LA’s star clash and Simmons’ pressure: NBA storylines

If the cap isn’t affected by COVID-19, Antetokounmpo will be offered a supermax deal worth $253.8M ($A353M) per current projections. But that money might not matter if the forward can’t see success on the horizon

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2853733-bucks-gm-says-giannis-antetokounmpo-will-be-offered-supermax-contract-in-2020

With his contract will expire soon and there was a news before that he will signed a supermax deal with his current team, do you think that covid-19 will affect it and the amount might not be realize as it could reduce?

Yep, it could be reduced, I guess? Not quite sure though but it's been a struggle to generate income since lockdown, the same time the league forces to close their doors temporarily. And now that they are back into operation, their revenue mostly comes from television, or whatsoever. And ticket sales which plays a big part on how they make money is currently out of the story  .

I am not so sure, man. 'Cause, we don't even know, what exactly is happening behind. You know... they might have some stock out there, just reserved for their player's salary.

Reduced is better than stop, the reason why the NBA resume because they still want their people to have their job, so even if the salary will decrease, I think everyone would understand as the situation currently is not a joke.

As stated in the previous post, biggest part of their income are from ticket sales, average income daily for teams are $1 million  USD IIRC.
So they are losing $1 million daily because they will play without the fans.

Probably, or borrow money from bank too.

Open opinion about this, Bucks will not think about it as they've known that Giannis will receive more offers if they'll not
going to sign him with this Max salary. NBA have a lots of twist and even this pandemic will not stop franchise to spare
money to get star player like him,
it's a money talk and for sure it will be more lauder than this current virus.

That's good, we don't have a lot of media to cover the event, so I guess I would be betting on the underdog team as people might think the favorites will always win, talking about gambling here, hopefully everyone who are here are also gambling in NBA IRL.

We may be shocked that one player just suddenly didn't play without even giving away the reasons.

I don't expect this, he might get sanction.

Yes, I have been betting and I guess a lot of us here does.
There is a difference now and sports betting companies knows it too.
Just like how they put higher odds on lower seed teams. They all want a win, so it will be like the playoffs game already for 8th to 11th seed.
Of course Grizzlies will also need to play well.

We may be shocked that one player just suddenly didn't play without even giving away the reasons.

I don't expect this, he might get sanction.

Remember how they kept the names of those positive in coronavirus?
They didn't tell anyone and the media cannot even get anything out of the NBA management.
It can still happen.

Are you ready for the return of the NBA?

I think they just want to finish this season for now.
Regarding their profit, it might become just ROI for commercials and local channels buying rights to televise the game.

Are you ready for the return of the NBA?

Thanks for the heads up.
We are definitely ready.
I may try your website later. I am used to Sportsbet but I think it is worth checking others.

We are. 

Your website isn't reachable, I've checked to visit websites and they are all good, but your link, it's not working.

[Emitdama]

I feel like if it gets a cut and salary cap goes down, it should be temporary contracts all around, remember the 2016 spike? Everyone paid players tens of millions of dollars and people like chandler parsons got huge contracts and mozgov as well, those type of stuff happened.

If the team owners realizes they could get the revenge of that, and somehow drop it, and whatever the salary cap allows them to, they will offer players 120 year contracts if they can to keep them at this lower salary cap version money. Big markets would get a lot more players in that case, teams like Lakers could offer players like Giannis the same amount of money but in LA you get to be a Hollywood star and play in tons of commercials and other stuff and the money you make on the side would be 10x easily compared to what you can make at Milwaukee.
