Marcus Smart previously has also said "No one cares about that" in reference to the in-season tournament during media day. Is the fact that there are no stakes taking away from this new event?

The thing about this tournament is it can’t be forced and it can’t be made out to be more than what it is in terms of creating NBA champion excitement. Just let it be.

As an NBA fan I found myself browsing the in-season tournament groups/standings last Friday. I will do the same thing again this Friday.

The idea is intriguing enough for me to keep up with when it comes to seeing box scores/updates. However, the NBA isn’t my primary sport I follow so to actually care and make time to watch the games (compared to say the playoffs) isn’t something I’m thinking about doing in the slightest.

Don’t make it bigger than what it should be.
