It is possible that the in season tournament is also just a way to get starters rest and more likely to be healthy thus big stars like LBJ AD Giannis are more likely to be healthy for the playoffs.
I assuming here that for the tournament teams will rest the starters and mainly play the bench. |

I hadn’t seen this part posted:
The NBA will release an 80-game schedule for all teams. The 8 finalists of group play will advance to the knock out round. The quarter finals and semifinals will count as regular season game 81 and 82. The losers of the quarter finals will play each other as regular season game 82. All teams who do not make the knock out round will be scheduled to play 2 additional games on December 6 and December 8 to fill their 82 game regular season commitment. The two teams advancing to the finals will play an 83rd game that will not count towards regular season record, nor will stats count towards regular season totals for individual players.
Teams are now guaranteed only 40 home games per season. Some teams may end up playing up to 42 home games, others will not, depending on how the 81st and 82nd game scheduling shakes out.

Why would you throw regular season games? |

I'll bet you the Clippers will probably win the first one, can't wait to see them raising a banner for the Mid Season Champion, and Balmer will probably have Championship rings made for the team  |
I can totally see this happne if the Clippers win it first. |

Not sure why I should be more enthusiastic about games they were going to play anyways. Because the league says I should?
Why don’t we make up imaginary “ winners” the next long trade or player thread starts here on LG. The first poster to 100 posts wins and gets a special check next to their name. Hurray!
This just reeks of the League trying too hard to bring manufactured excitement to a long season. If the tournament brings you joy, No issues with it. I will be watching the games as I always do anyways.
But it is just another regular season game wrapped up in shiny colors. |

So I'm doing my Saturday morning house cleaning as usual and I have access Lakers on in the background and they just had a segment about this in-season tournament. Trudell is all excited about it because he's a soccer fan and apparently they have this in soccer and he said it's all about giving players the opportunity to "win something". And will it be as important as winning the championship, no, but it's an opportunity to "win something".
To me as a fan that's the problem is I don't need another tournament to dilute Winning the Chip. This is like - I'm Gen X so my generation did not do this - but this reminds me of how apparently they give out participation awards in kids sports. And it's like no these are extraordinarily well paid grown adults. They don't need a lollipop, if they don't win a championship they just don't win a championship |

It will be about as valuable as the conference finals banner. Some obscure fanbase will brag about it, even if it means absolutely nothing in grand scheme of things. So the wikipedia entry shows that your team won the tournament, despite a first round exit. Big whoop. Embarrassing. I swear Silver is ruining the league one year at a time.

| The courts look like crap, I like how all games on a certain day are tournament games, rather than just a few random games each night. |

The opposite of the “group of death”. Maybe we call it the group of life.
I think the tournament is meant to be somewhat “meaningless”. I don’t think it should outweigh an 82 game season for playoff seating. It’s just something the NBA can sell ESPN/TNT for a few more sponsorship dollars, and an excuse for the boys to go to Vegas to catch a game. It doesn’t have to be anything more than that.
I wonder what the evolution will be. Maybe they add some “at-large” spots for the likes of Barcelona and the Macabes. |

The winner of the in game tournament should just get an extra win on the regular season record. So if you and another team both lose 28 games in the regular season and meet in the playoffs, you get HCA since you're 55-28 while the other team is 54-28.
It's a modest advantage that makes it worthwhile for teams to try |

Last nights game was not a tournament game.
The game vs Portland on Friday, 11/17 is a tourney game.  |

| The courts are so hideous. They look okay as a 2” jpg but terrible in real life. It was hard for me to watch the game because of the image and colors with that court. I had to switch to the radio. |

1st tiebreaker rule? That sounds about right without screwing up anything else. |

Court looks fine as at least there's some contrast to help the eyes a little but when are we getting a video board update? Seems like after the 2010 title we've had that same tiny (by today's NBA arena standards) display above center court and with the newfound Crypto $$ what gives? |
