Now that we’re 20% through the regular season. What has most stood out to you? (alien.top)

The season is flying by and we have an okay sample size to make some predictions, statements, concerns or what not. As a fan, I’ve enjoyed watching as many games as I can. There are about 12-14 teams that are worth watching. The league is deep, what are your thought on the season so far?

Horrendous court quality aside, I really love the in-season tournament. It really does make the games in this part of the year feel different. The group stages are so volatile with how the tie breakers work that every game really does matter and you get some surprising results like the Pacers winning their group while the Sixers might not even make it to the knockout round - even though the Sixers almost definitely win a bo7.

Very excited to see how the knockouts end up!

The courts are so damn ugly. It hurts the product. I loved seeing the normal courts last night.

I think some of them are alright, I’m more worried about the rush job on some of them (painting 3 point lines incorrectly, unsafe surfaces etc…).

I think next year will have more intelligent color choice selections by the teams, I doubt they had any idea what the viewing experience would have been like.

Overall though I like the concept. I think it’s important that casual viewers will know immediately that these games are special compared to a regular season game.
