    Edit - i guess bc of point diff we are technically 2nd in the group to Denver.

    Time to panic

    There is a Wild Card in case we do not win it in the Group.

    Question...

    Would you rather the team win the tourney or make the playoffs and lose in the first round?

    Win the tourney x100

    The whole league will be watching the tourney finals.

    Low profile first round playoff series finish on NBA TV

    I hope the whole league would not be watching.....professionals still got to practice.

    Regular season still going on next to that.

    Winning the inaugural tourney would be a feather.

    I guess.

    Not on the finals day.

    The final 4 games are played on Dec 7.

    The losers (teams not in semifinals) play a full slate of boring regular games Friday Dec 8

    The finals in LV - is the lone game scheduled, for Saturday Dec 9

    Sunday Dec 10 - no games scheduled

    It's basically a mini all star break - the losers have the weekend off to reflect on their failures and the indisputable greatness of the winners

    The inaugural IST is begging for a march madness style, Cinderella upset winner, playing at full playoff intensity

    ofc, we need JVG back to call the Final 4.

    Except they do not, they might not be led by Udoka but teams have practices and film sessions, I do not think they get more than 1 day off normally.

    • I think Udoka gave only 1 day off so far. There is a lot more going on than just Game Time.
    • Prepare for upcoming Christmas and New Year Games.....national TV....
    • Just like certain normal peons start preparing for Christmas 2-3 Weeks before it.

    I say without fear of contradiction that no loser team will be "too busy practicing" to watch the finals at 8:30 on Saturday night and that any player or coach who says that is quite obviously projecting their own inadequacy in ways that will be a horrible romantic partner and bad parent.

    Avoid these people

    Take note folks - the inseason tourney haters have now shifted to "tv ratings compared to the Superbowl" as their preferred cynicism security blanket
