I personally thought it was dumb as hell idea.

But seeing how excited my kid is about it to the point he updates me constantly when its a "tournament game daddy!" makes me realize I am just a stupid old grumpy nephew.

Not to mention the games have been great.

They just need to find a name for it

My only complaint is they had all that time and could only name it “The NBA In-Season Tournament”. The trophy is called the NBA Cup, it was right there

Lots of people have been complaining, but it's a decent idea. Just need the stakes to be higher.

Also, why play groups? Put every team in a bracket based on their regular season record...

I think I can speak for every fan, if my team is doing good, I'm all in. If we are out, it's a fraud chip.

What about painting a wood floor bright blue for the entirety of the court and then watching Jaylen Brown strain his groin on it? that wasn't very fun

the issue I have is how it forces the season game schedule into an indefinite and precarious state to accommodate it, with them having the need to shuffle games out and in through the rest of the year, messing with game-rest intervals and length of travel for the league, and making it difficult to plan out in advance for fans who want to see live games

Good! If the tournament can get young kids to pay attention, it’s done its job.

As long as the NBA can keep up this level of competition in the games, I would be excited for this every season

I’m enjoying the in season tournament as most people are because it does seem that the players are a little more competitive in them but I wish that they would just do the tournament with no other games. Stop the other regular season games and play this tournament for a month/ month and half, then start the regular season again. These games can still count as regular season and you can have more tournament games during the week instead of two.

I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I hate the courts. All of them. Borderline unwatchable for my eyes.
