Let the 2020 NBA Playoffs Begin!

With the Portland Trail Blazers securing the No. 8 spot after defeating the Memphis Grizzlies, 126-122, in today's play-in game at the Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, all of the matchups are now set for the 2020 NBA postseason! The Trail Blazers will take on the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1 of the Western Conference quarterfinals this Tuesday, August 18 (at 6 PM, Pacific Daylight Time). Granted, the Lakers obviously phoned it in during the seeding games after clinching the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference (having won only three of their eight games since the season resumed on July 30), but it's all good.

Here's hoping that LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kyle Kuzma and Co. will finally turn it up since they're obviously playing for all the marbles now. Happy Saturday! This California heat wave sucks.
