This NBA in a bubble thing has been really exciting and I don't know if it's because sports is back or is it really just more exciting?  I'm gonna go with the latter because over the last couple of years I've watch regular season games, but not as much as in the past. The reason being was because it was like the game didn't really start until the 4th quarter.  I haven't seen that being the case in this very much shortened NBA season thus far.  The games that I've watched have had a higher level of intensity.  Take the Phoenix Suns for instance who wasn't even gonna make the playoffs prior to the bubble and they've been the most impressing team in the bubble period.  It's been great to watch so many teams play with more urgency and we also get to see players having more focus without the crowd rise to an even higher level.  Because of that, I'm even more excited to see what the playoffs will bring in this bubble season.  The NBA has done a great job managing the bubble and testing which is something I find hard for the NFL to do. There's almost 3 times the players to manage and I really don't see the NFL playing in a bubble type setting.  Kudos to the NBA for the job they've done and adjusting to the period of time in which we live and still being able to bring quality sports for the world to enjoy.
