Interesting to see how this will develop, but not sure it will be as big a success for the league as the play-in (obviously because stakes). Still love that the NBA is so willing to play with their format with the intended benefit being for the fans as well.

I’ll never be sad about more basketball. Interested in seeing how this works out.

I can’t wait to see what this ends up looking like. I hope this leads to some bad blood between teams come playoff time. I hope these games get heated man!

I personally love this. People were so negative about the idea of an in season tourney… but what’s the worst that could happen? The worst is that nothing changes and this tourney is irrelevant. The best case scenario is we get an awesome in season tournament and get a small preview of the post season.

This seems pointless. The season is already 8 months long for the best teams, there’s barely enough time for FIBA, Olympics, etc. Teams are going to lose on purpose to avoid this nebulous tournament and get extra rest for their guys. Just my 2 cents.
