    I'm struggling to find something saying this will take anything close to a full month. I only see the dates Dec 7 and 9 mentioned. Where do you get "full month of December"?

    You can just feel the electricity and tension in the air.

    Dang it, I thought the In Season T was granting younger teams more chances but I think the usual suspects will be prevailing again.

    If one of the Sweet 4 is not a title contender, that would be a success.

    The courts make it unwatchable. Tried watching denver dallas and couldn’t even get through half. Super lame

    I think they should bring back hand checking just for this tournament! Along with a guaranteed playoff spot

    I'm still confused as to why this is all taking place so early into the NBA season. You'd think this sort of thing would be better suited to help to drum up interest later on in the year.

    This is the NBA dead zone until the real start of the season on Christmas Day.

    To make the Games before Christmas and New Year matter.

    That's when the end of the tourney is.

    To all the haters - other than "meh the courts hurt my old man eyes" - how would your life be better if last night's games only counted for the regular season and did not also count for the tournament?

    I'm still convinced most people think the tourney = extra games.

    I didn't know the games counted double. I doubted they would play extra games, but I was confused about the logistics. Thanks.
