With the Clippers loss against the Pelicans, only two scenarios are possible out of this group:

If the Rockets beat the Mavericks, the Rockets advance as #1 with a 3-1 record and the head to head win over the Pelicans. If the Mavericks beat the Rockets, the Pelicans advance as #1 with a 3-1 record.

No team in this group can be the wildcard.

If the Mavs beat the rockets and have the PD then they advance...

Suns are 3-1, Mavs end 2-2 of they win.

The rockets will also be 2-2 if the Mavs win and the Mavs would have the head to head vs them

Pels are 3-1 and they beat Mavs.

We didn't even get to see out in season court lmao.

I have no clue how this works and I don't care.

I don't even know what they get if they win besides cash.

Does this have any playoff implications?

Understanding the rules is literal 30 second google search.. You cared enough to comment and ask a question about it

this seems more like a gambling thing, i wish they would give this up

no one really cares about this in season tournament

[–] fukdatsonn@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I actually really like it. Why do you hate it? Anything that makes this early of the season more fun is actually great I think.

Welcome to the club

That's a shame. I was really looking forward to getting a terrible headache from looking at more fucked up ass courts.

The tournament really shouldve been a 1 game elimination tournament. All this pools stuff is so convoluted. This will 100% not happen next year

[–] Naive_Illustrator@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I don't know about it not happening next year, but as a fan, the fact that i dont understand how the NBA cup works means i care very little about it.

If I along with millions of other fans dont care, then the players wont care too.

At this point I have no idea who is still in it. I don't care either way really. I think the Lakers are winning their bracket but for me they've been very underwhelming so whatever. But, a lot of the games have been entertaining so I guess it's a ein
