I actually hope my team does not make it to the elimination tournament. I also think it is silly for teams to try to run up the score of a finished game. Wait til a star gets injured during garbage time trying to run up the score.

    i mean the NBA added it for additional enjoyment and some slight regular season motivation, i’m honestly in love with it, the jersey/court combo’s and the close games have all been great.

      if I had one wish it would be to take the IST trophy decals out of the painted area

      it makes the IST court look like they have bowling lanes on them

        I totally agree. Everything else about them looks sick but the painted area decals are so ugly

    I like the tourney. I feel like the Tuesday/ Friday thing is weird though. I wish all the games were just clustered together. They can also ditch the stupid crazy colored courts. Go old school like parquet floors or just leave them like they normally would be.

    I love it - I thought it was going to be good and it is even better than I thought.

    Players playing hard, seeking a birth or upsets. I’m all for it and running up the score adds more excitement/more stake to blow outs. Someone can always get injured - 4 games of possible extra time ain’t much

    💯 disagree

    I still think they need to add some playoff implications to the tournament. Like the winner gets an extra game added to their win total (could lead to some huge implications, many playoff seedings are decided by a game or two) or something like that. At the end of the day, the NBA is all about winning a championship, and the in season tournament doesnt add anything towards that goal

      I disagree, I think it’s just gonna take time. As soon as the elimination games start people are gonna be pissed when their teams get booted. Whoever is the runner up is gonna be thirsting for blood and will want to come back next year.

    Just got news that Adam Silver himself read your post and is hereby calling off the in season tournament as a result. Hope you’re happy now pal.

    I’m indifferent to them. Unlike the play ins and play offs, there are no stakes that fans should care about and honestly the only time I remember it’s even a thing during games is when they play on those obnoxious floors.
