With Covid outbreaks flaring up, it’s unlikely we will see fans in the arenas. That said, I wouldn’t mind seeing regional bubbles, with 3 bubbles each of 5 teams in each conference. You play all the teams in the bubble and then switch to another bubble. The challenge would be how to handle the western conference teams who we usually play twice a year. That may require 1 team from an opposing conference interspersed in each bubble, albeit likely for a shorter period of time.If the season plays out like this, with a lot of doubleheader, will be very cool to see how players, coaches, and teams adapt locally. The adjustments between games could show a little hint of what we see by the best teams in the playoffs

This team has a nice mix of veteran talent (Drummond, Love, Sexton, Nance), emerging young players with star potential (Porter, Garland), promising rookies (Okoro, Windler), and veteran role players (McGee, Cedi, Delly, Dotson). If everything comes together and JBB can sell the unselfish team concept and get everyone to buy in this team will surprise everybody.
Cleveland Cavaliers hire Greg Buckner as assistant coach, sources say

Greg Buckner will join the Cleveland Cavaliers as an assistant coach.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Cavaliers have hired Greg Buckner as an assistant coach, league sources tell cleveland.com.
Buckner, who played 10 years in the NBA, began his coaching career in player development with the Houston Rockets in 2011, where he worked alongside Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff for the first time. Following three seasons in that role, Buckner was elevated to assistant coach. Eventually, he joined Bickerstaff in Memphis, getting hired as an assistant shortly after Bickerstaff earned the Grizzlies’ interim head coaching gig in late 2017.
Now, the two are working together in Cleveland.
The Cavs had an open spot on the bench after Bickerstaff’s promotion in February, stepping in for John Beilein. In the short term, each assistant moved over one seat, but the Cavs wanted to permanently fill that spot at some point this offseason. Buckner was with the team during its downtown minibubble in September and has been working with players individually at Cleveland Clinic Courts. Buckner will have a significant role alongside the Cavs’ other assistant coaches.
Bickerstaff is entering his first full season in Cleveland as head coach. The team went 5-6 in 11 games with him before the season ended abruptly due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
I've had this issue over the last couple years...its a pain in the ass. I had sling,,,then i had hulu live and now i have youtube tv. The only streamer that still has it I think is AT&T live. I just dropped youtube tv and went back to cable. Since I had been away from cable for 3 or 4 years they gave me a new customer discount so i have internet/phone and cable for like 135 bucks ,,,which i was very happy with because now i can watch all the cavs games. I'm actually getting ready to hook it up this afternoon.Maybe the most important question for me is how to watch the Cavs on tv. I recently dropped cable and now have hulu streaming service.
Fox Regional Sports Networks (Fox Sports Ohio and Sportstime Ohio) were owned by Sinclair Broadcasting. Sinclair lost it's streaming deal with most streaming services (hulu, YouTube TV).
Sinclair recently sold it's Regional Sports Networks to Bally Corporation. Right now, Bally does not have deals with the streaming services yet either.
So I've got to hope something is done soon!
