    Making the NBA more relevant earlier in the season, especially this season before the NBA gets a new TV deal.

    In November & December the league has to compete with the NFL & NCAA football for the first half of the regular season. Adding something with new rules and new aesthetics is a way to try to get more eyes (and more deals in terms of distribution rights) on the league before new TV negotiations.

    I’ve been loving it so far… Still counts as regular season games so nothing is taken away from the normal day to day stuff but I have noticed some teams playing harder than normal for early season matches.
