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?
The Raptors court looks clean af ngl. The Lakers one will hurt my eyes lol no wonder why they went with black as the main colour for the city jersey.
some of these courts... RIP to colorblind watchers
Why this is zany and crazy, and I love it. It’s gonna make me watch all the games that I can and enjoy the advertising that they’re showing me! I can’t believe they gave us the opportunity to enjoy the game even more!
You know what...fuck it, have fun with it. Some of em are kinda meh or got it the wrong way around (like the Lakers and Knicks need to flip the colors), but overall I'm not mad at the idea
Boston adn the Raps looks nice. Everything else is an eyesore
Ugly af
This. This is when all the crazy jerseys should happen.
Ugly jerseys, ugly courts, and an "In-Season" tournament that the fans and players don't care about.
NBA is wasting lots of money on bad marketing ideas.
If they only had the power to make the game more entertaining for the fans and players alike....
Are teams wearing the matching jerseys while playing on these courts?
This can't be real...Lakers court is literally unwatchable
Fire every design team responsible for the city jersey s and like 80% of these courts
Warriors look like sh*t like the street of SF.
I think it's so they separate from just regular season games bc they will actually be both.
So when you see the special court you know that's a game counting towards the Cup or whatever
So this bullshit ass tournament gets nice floors but we’re stuck with terrible digital graphics for the actual finals? WTF Adam…
Ah yes classic Spurs colors of yellow and green
The Bucks one is appalling, I’ve always loved the cream color but the blue and the green both with it is just bleh.
Can someone eli5 this this in season tournament and it's purpose
This entire thing is totally unnecessary. Just give Seattle and Vegas their teams, move Minnesota to the East, cancel the Play-In, and we are all good.
Worse gm in all sports ever
Holy shit this is so stupid. The season literally just started and the tournament starts already?!?
Who fucking planned this.
Most teams have only played 3-4 games so far. This is an awful idea.
