How Many More Games Will the NBA Season Have?
Contents
The NBA season is nearly over, and with the COVID-19 pandemic putting a halt to everything, it’s unclear how many more games will be played.
Introduction
The 2014-2015 NBA season is nearing its end, and with it comes the question of how many more games will be played. The answer to this question is not as simple as it may seem, as there are a number of factors that come into play. Let’s take a look at some of the key elements that will determine the answer to this question.
The first factor to consider is the playoff format. The NBA playoffs are a 16 team tournament that takes place over a period of two months. The first round is a best-of-seven series, followed by the conference semifinals (also best-of-seven), conference finals (best-of-seven), and finally the NBA Finals (best-of-seven). As you can see, if every series goes the distance, there is potential for a lot of games to be played.
Another factor to consider is the number of days off between games. In the regular season, teams typically play once every two or three days. However, in the playoffs, there are often several days off between games, which can extend the length of the postseason.
Finally, we must also take into account television schedules. The NBA Finals are typically broadcast on weeknights in prime time, which means that they start later and end later than other games in the playoffs. This can add an extra day or two to the length of the season.
All things considered, it is difficult to say how many games will be played in the 2014-2015 NBA season. However, based on the factors mentioned above, it is safe to say that we can expect at least 60 games to be played before a champion is crowned.
The current NBA season
The current NBA season is just over a month old, and it’s already been full of surprises. The Golden State Warriors, who were expected to dominate the league once again, have looked vulnerable at times. The Houston Rockets, led by James Harden, have been the best team in the league so far. And the young Philadelphia 76ers, led by Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, have been one of the most exciting teams to watch.
With all of this early season drama, it’s hard to predict how many more games will be played in the NBA this year. But one thing is for sure: there will be plenty more excitement and surprises before the season is over.
How many more games will the season have?
It is still unknown how many more games the NBA season will have. The virus has forced the postponement of games and it is still not clear when or if the season will resume.
The NBA’s plans for next season
The NBA is planning to start its 2020-21 season on December 1st, according to a report from ESPN. The league is still finalizing the details of the plan, which would need to be approved by the NBA’s Board of Governors, but the hope is to have a 72-game season that would conclude in late July.
This would be a shorter season than usual, but with the pandemic causing many delays and disruptions, it’s the best that the NBA can do for now. The league is still working out how to deal with possible COVID-19 outbreaks among players and staff, but it seems confident that it can make things work.
So far, the plan is to have all 30 teams play in their home arenas, with no fans in attendance. This could change if conditions improve enough that some fans are able to attend games safely, but for now, it seems like the NBA will be playing in front of empty seats once again.
Conclusion
It is looking like the NBA season will have about 50 more games.
