I actually hope my team does not make it to the elimination tournament. I also think it is silly for teams to try to run up the score of a finished game. Wait til a star gets injured during garbage time trying to run up the score.

I disagree with you and that's okay. You do you.

i mean the NBA added it for additional enjoyment and some slight regular season motivation, i’m honestly in love with it, the jersey/court combo’s and the close games have all been great.

if I had one wish it would be to take the IST trophy decals out of the painted area

it makes the IST court look like they have bowling lanes on them

[–] amidon1130@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I totally agree. Everything else about them looks sick but the painted area decals are so ugly

from one pacer fan to another, this tournament has been massive for us. every game feels huge. tyrese haliburton is taking it super seriously.

imagine being so smooth brained you want your team to lose

[–] cyb3ryung@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

youre just being a contrarian. let me guess, your teams already eliminated?

that means that your team is probably not doing good in the regular season. that isnt good. you are supposed to do good in the regular season.

You want NBA games to be less competitive?

[–] iCOULDbewr0ng@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I’m still not interested in it but there’s some who care about it I guess 🤷‍♂️

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

I'm indifferent to them. Unlike the play ins and play offs, there are no stakes that fans should care about and honestly the only time I remember it's even a thing during games is when they play on those obnoxious floors.

I like it, it’s kinda hard to keep track of the other groups though.

Lol coaches aren't playing their stars during garbage time

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

This injury paranoia that some fans have is so annoying. Only think about players getting injured and don't enjoy the games.

[–] StonkeyKong2021@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I like the tourney. I feel like the Tuesday/ Friday thing is weird though. I wish all the games were just clustered together. They can also ditch the stupid crazy colored courts. Go old school like parquet floors or just leave them like they normally would be.

[–] ChoiceStar1@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I love it - I thought it was going to be good and it is even better than I thought.

Players playing hard, seeking a birth or upsets. I’m all for it and running up the score adds more excitement/more stake to blow outs. Someone can always get injured - 4 games of possible extra time ain’t much

💯 disagree

[–] confuddly@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I still think they need to add some playoff implications to the tournament. Like the winner gets an extra game added to their win total (could lead to some huge implications, many playoff seedings are decided by a game or two) or something like that. At the end of the day, the NBA is all about winning a championship, and the in season tournament doesnt add anything towards that goal

[–] amidon1130@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I disagree, I think it’s just gonna take time. As soon as the elimination games start people are gonna be pissed when their teams get booted. Whoever is the runner up is gonna be thirsting for blood and will want to come back next year.

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

Just got news that Adam Silver himself read your post and is hereby calling off the in season tournament as a result. Hope you're happy now pal.
