I thought this was a given when they announced it tbh. Having those games be televised the NBA would be able to capitalise on those people that don’t really follow the NBA.
Being able to watch a whole tournament (albeit smaller) without needing League Pass would be amazing. It’s also a way to make people care about it, since apparently most don’t.
yeah they should totally nationally broadcast wizards vs hornets
The games should be spread out, not all on one or two days of the week. Max of 2 tournament games a day, and both should be on TNT/ESPN
Every game? they have been doing them on espn’s friday double header and now tnts. They can only assign games the same way under the current tv deal. Ig if you are saying just spread them out a lil more then yea.
How many national channels and timeslots do you think exist that they’d be able to air all 30 teams on national television? This doesn’t even make sense…
After group stages, then yeah that makes sense. But the entire tournament? That doesn’t make any logistical sense…
