    [NBA] Comments that don't warrant a thread (JAN)

    Not sure what the most common preference is accross all NBA fans. I was expressing my own individual preference: allowing more options to the defense and having the offense work around those.

    I don't tend to apply generic "ways of thinking" to specific instances. I think more single elimination games would be better, but I don't think so for the number of visits to the dentist let say. You handcuff yourself too much if you decide to be a fan or not a fan of a "way of thinking" and...

    Well, the domestic cups are elimination bracket competitions. But teams from all leagues participate. Most nations have hierarchical soccer leagues: 1 main league, second level league, 3rd level league(s), 4th level leagues, ec...winners and losers of these leagues move up and down the level...

    I think the single elimination games were the most fun, so at least adding another round of that would be fun.

Top 8 in each conference go to single elemination bracket. 1st round 1.25 games...

    He wanted a take foul. He was arguing the play was on him, to stop the transition, not on the ball.

    Tournament beam! (Brought to you by Domas and the Triple Ks)

    Maybe add a front office type of incentive such as team gets an extra mid level exception, or their cap goes up a bit or something like that. Another one would be a guarantee least back to backs next season out of all teams. 500K is a lot of money though and for a lot of players...

    In-Season Tournament is a thing.

    I am going to enjoy it. I like cups. I think the group and knockout games will be more competitive than regular regular season games. The players will care as well because its a chance to make life better for poorer paid teammates. I think its going to be fun.

    In-Season Tournament is a thing.

    The best teams will tend to win the Cup, so they will almost certainly be in the playoffs

    Things you would change about the NBA

    is this a Cup where all the teams play? and then the final 4 are in December? Cups work in european/world soccer cause there are multiple leages bellow the top leage and everyone participates. but here there is just one league. so why have a Cup?

    Dame asks out

    fair point. but I don't think Dame would be unprofessional if he ended up on a team that is not his preferred destination. Any team that would take him would be a team that is going for a championship and that thinks Dame would put them over the top. And if that were to play out, Dame might...

    Dame asks out

    How does Dame decide? I know the Blazers want to do right by him, but if they have a much better offer from a team that is not his preferred destination, the Blazers have to go for it

    Kings reportedly involved in Brad Beal trade talks but not deep enough in to matter

    Phoenix got better. Beal > CP3+Shammet. I thought it would be Ayton+Shammet but this is great for Phoenix. Beal, Booker, Craig, KD, Ayton.
