Remind me again why this is beneficial? So let’s say the knicks miss the top 6 by a game, or even home court advantage by the 5th seed etc. IF the nba wants to continue with this they MUST give some sort of reward for the regular season and an edge in the real playoffs, because this feels more like a punishment.
No one would have been happy if they lost last night or barely beat Charlotte without Lamelo so what’s your point?
