While the race for the Playoffs is in full swing in the West, there are teams in the bubble that are already out of the game. The Kings, Pelicans and Wizards have nothing more to play at Mickey’s house and are requested. to pack up very quickly after their last game. Because Disney World is not a summer camp.
The NBA has decided not to be in the lace on security measures related to the virus. Each team eliminated from the play-in tournament race must leave on the day of its last match. A shower, a last meal and head for the bus to the airport. A little dry as a measure but Adam Silver does not have the time or the money to procrastinate. There is still no case of COVID-19 in the bubble and it has to continue like this, so we are not taking any risks. The fewer teams there are, the less risk there is, CQFD. And then hey… we’re not going to lie to each other, the NBA would like to save a little money on housing. Because 300 players in hotels for several months, that makes a bit of a spicy addition. As a reminder, the bubble will cost the League around $ 150 million. So if she can save ten bucks, that’s still it.
Yahoo Sources: NBA teams that have been mathematically eliminated on or before Aug. 12 will depart campus immediately after their final game has ended. Following game, teams will shower in designated rooms at the Coronado Springs Resort, receive meal and take team bus to airport.

“Yahoo Sources: Teams that are mathematically eliminated on or before August 12 will have to leave campus immediately after their last game. After the latter, players will shower at the Coronado Springs Resort, receive a meal, and proceed to the team bus that will take them to the airport. “
So it will soon be over for Pelicans, Wizards and Kings in the bubble. Sad record for these three teams at Mickey. Sacramento was in a good position behind Memphis by the time of the resumption, but hope soon faded after three early losses and a crappy Deliveroo order, so far that’s been a win for five losses, tough. The Pels had the hype and the schedule on their side to hang the play-in, but it quickly became disillusioned. Zion forced to leave the bubble during prep, a defense that takes 140 against the Kings, mass was said. A 2-4 record and an early return to Louisiana for the gang at Brandon Ingram. And now, the Wizards. Well, come on, we’re not going to shoot the ambulance, arrive six victories behind, without John Wall and Bradley Beal, it was mission impossible. Zero wins for six losses, there was not even a hope. Now it remains to be seen who from the Suns, Spurs, Blazers or Grizzlies will join our three champions at the airport next Friday.
The NBA wants to make room in the bedrooms and has made it clear. The teams eliminated from the Playoffs race will have to scramble to pack up and go home, Adam Silver has no time to mess around. Come on, we hope that you took advantage of these three teams, because we won’t see them again before… December? January ? We don’t even know when we’re actually going to see them again.
