The NBA bubble has provided the unique circumstance in which teams competing against each other in playoff games are staying in very close quarters.
Players occasionally run into their rivals on the Orlando campus. That means Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet sometimes sees Celtics players in the bubble. His reaction to that is pretty hilarious.
Fred VanVleet on having to see Celtics players on campus: "Personally speaking, from what I know I like the guys, but right now I hate 'em. I don't wanna see 'em, I don't wanna look at 'em, I don't wanna talk to 'em. So, yeah, it's a little weird, but it's where we're at."

That’s the mindset. These guys generally like each other. Right now, though, they can’t and they don’t.
Not everyone finds the bubble environment awkward. Some players have used it as a way to catch up with guys they know from other teams.
