NBA 2019-2020: END

Thoughts

by Law Murray

The 2019-2020 NBA regular season is over. The league went on hiatus in March, and invited 22 teams to restart and finish the season in Florida, with those teams playing eight seeding games each.

Here are the seeding game results (asterisks placed on teams that would make the postseason if only six teams made it per conference for this split only):

Similar to the START, OLD YEAR, ALL-STAR BREAK/MIDSEASON, and POST-TRADE DEADLINE reviews, I will run through the offensive and defensive rankings (efficiency) of the 22 teams invited to play in Florida this summer. I’ll add in the most used lineup during that timespan, with net efficiency and minutes played.

Most-used lineups for this split that were also the team’s most used lineup for the entire season are BOLDED.

For the eight teams that were not invited to Florida and thus had their seasons end in March, I will only include their most used lineup of the entire season in italics, with players that didn’t end the season on their roster struck through.

Here are the offensive, defensive, and net efficiency rankings for the entire 2019-2020 regular season all in one place:
