~ I remember Damian Lillard, he should play then as Blazers might make it to the playoffs. Throw away his own desire as I don't see any wrong with the format. Every remaining game really matters so as much as possible, teams should be healthy and complete.
The irony though is that Blazers voted no to the proposal 
I don't know why but maybe they thought it's useless because Dame won't play seriously

It sounds exhausting and they should provide time for rest before they start the playoffs again.
Now, they will learn something from this. Aim for the top to avoid unnecessary games that will fatigue the team.
That extra two games (or one if 8th seed wins game 1 against 9th) won't matter much I think. It's been a long lay off and they probably need it to stay more fit for the playoff. It really sounds weird to me to hear or read the word "rest" right now. It sounds exhausting and they should provide time for rest before they start the playoffs again.

I was hoping to see the game schedules but it's not available yet on NBA's website. I bet it would be packed.
For the Nets fans waiting for Durant to play, he's already ruled out playing for the 2019-2020 season. I guess he learned how not to rush in while recovering from an injury when he was in GS. Good choice. Kevin Durant confirms he won't return for NBA restart
