I really REALLY want to be excited about it, but it’s hard. I don’t feel like the players really care, so why should I care? It’s not the championship. It’s the start of the season, so every team is already trying to win every game they can. The trophy isn’t really a needed incentive.
I know people love tournaments, but usually they end in a championship. Not a mid-season award.
Help me out here. Why should I be hyped for this? I really want to be. I would love for the long regular season to be a bit more exciting. This could be the start of a good idea but I don’t feel like anyone is going to care about who wins the cup in the middle of the season.

Do you get excited about regular season games? The in-season tournament is just regular season games with a cash prize.
If you don’t get excited about regular season games, then you likely won’t get excited about the in-season tournament.
If you do get excited about regular season games, then that’s exactly what’s happening.
The cup game was pretty fun in the W. Turned out to be a finals preview match up wise too.
Even if players aren’t the most amped right now, all it will take is one exciting run for this to become a thing.
Once that happens you will have games of significance on Tuesday & Friday during the fall.
- I think one of the best ways to look at it is;
- Thursday: NFL game
- Friday: NBA Tournament games:
- Saturday: College Football
- Sunday: NFL games
- Monday: Monday Night Football
- Tuesday: NBA Tournament games
- Wednesday: rest
Ten years from now when the NFL looks at expanding it’s coverage it will be huge for the NBA to own Tuesday & Friday night.
