As a long time proponent of the in-season tournament, I’m starting to have second thoughts.

I just Cannot FUCKING BELIEVE THE ACTUAL NAME THEY ARE GOING WITH

Is the “in season tournament”

This is the lamest name for any competition ever of anything.

WNBA has the commissioners cup. That’s a fucking cool name and not hard to come up with.

The lack of marketing or PR person saying “we should actually give this tournament a name” truly, truly astounds and hurts me

Most of these courts are god awful. I hope this tournament dies before the Sonics come back. We don’t need a bright gold court destroying our retinas.

That Pelicans court is on drugs lol

I honestly don’t understand the Mavs one. Like why that color scheme? Our entire fanbase is just begigng to go back to the Retro Blue and Green scheme instead we keep getting these muted boring designs.

I don’t hate the idea, I just hate that some of these courts use the awful City Edition designs like Indiana.

Finals logo better be on the court this year that’s all i’m gonna say

NBA needs to fire whoever is in charge of these graphics. Between the jerseys and these god forsaken courts shit has been uglier than ever

That looks fucking dope!

Why is this nicer than the finals court

Gotta love the NBA. Focusing on all their efforts on shiny stuff instead of making the game more enjoyable to watch. Please just Copy/Paste the NFL format with actual divisions so we can have rivalries, less games so the players will care, and a playoff format that doesn’t last over 2 months.

How lame

How much did Adam Silver pay Zach to write this love letter about the in-season tourney?

my god some of these look like an eye sore. So we couldn’t have the finals trophy in the center court during NBA Finals but we can have this for this pointless tournament man what

Can someone eli5 how the tournament works? Is it just outside of the 82 game schedule? So some teams potentially could play more games in season than others?
