Do any of you have any thoughts on having different ways of doing tiebreakers?
I feel like they could implement an elam ending to this to keep from having starters out there for meaningless minutes while still keeping point differential a thing.
Watching one of the bulls backups diving for a ball at JB’s ankles and rolling over them def made me quite a bit scared at what could have happened. Or does it not matter.
Being that IST games count as regular season games, I think one way to do tiebreaker could be the regular season standings. I understand that the NBA wants to separate the tournament from the season, but it seems to me that this is the best way to do it without having to disrespect the opposing team, which is apparently something that bothered the players. Also, it would mean that the best teams in the league would advance, which in theory would raise the quality of the games and fans’ expectations would be higher.
If the difference of the differentials of two teams is greater than 10, use the differential as tiebreaker; if it’s within 10, use coin flip.
Just keep it the way it is. Its fun. I really don’t like the culture of not playing hard to the final buzzer anyway.
