Watching NBA teams run up the score in IST games like a toxic high school coach is my new favourite thing. (alien.top)

Caught the last 2 minutes of the CHI-TOR game and was confused why everyone was still playing so hard in a games that was basically decided. I figured Siakam must’ve had some kind of personal grudge when he jacking up late 3s.

Yeah I was laughing pretty hard when Fox scored a layup with 2 seconds left and the Wolves fans stated to boo.

Seemed like the raptors tried to just keep things chill in the last minute but Chicago were still try harding on D, so if they want to keep playing then the Raptors may as well keep playing

They are both 0-2 so why would the point differential matter?

Honestly point difference should be consequential in the NBA. Like how goal difference in EPL or World Cup is consequential. You should be rewarded for ringing up 150 points against a shit team, just like how teams in soccer are rewarded for smashing a team 8-0.

Series should always go to seven games, the team with the most points over all seven games should win.

No more dibbling out the clock, no more missed revenue and cancelled games. No more sitting players for rest. No more teams having a resting advantage.

Do it.

Would be so much fun to watch when a team is hopelessly in over its head.

Its pretty clear that a good chunk of teams are trying or care to some extent. Hopefully they make better coloured courts that are safer for next year because the idea is there.
