COULD THESE BUBBLE PLAYOFFS BE THE BEST EVER IN NBA HISTORY?

Major league baseball, NFL and NCAA football, and the other professional sports may be having problems but the NBA has not only mastered how to keep everybody safe in the middle of a national pandemic but also how to put on a great show.
The quality of play for the teams and players in the bubble has simply been unbelievable considering the players were forced to start playing at playoff level basketball after a five month hiatus and a training camp that consisted of an 8-game abbreviated regular season.
So much for worry that guys would be quitting when things got tough and looking for ways to go on vacation. Instead, we saw the Nuggets fight back to beat the Jazz after being down 1-3 and the Raptors miraculously save from going down 0-3 to the Celtics with a season saving shot with 0.5 seconds left.
Then there’s our Lakers, who rebounded to beat the Blazers 4 straight after playing terribly in the 8 seeding games and losing the round one opener and going down 0-1. Of course, the Lakers will have to win the championship for me to consider this the greatest playoffs ever but the way they’ve started is a testament to the greatness of the NBA and NBPA.
