    [NBA] Comments that don't warrant a thread (JAN)

    I don't tend to apply generic "ways of thinking" to specific instances. I think more single elimination games would be better, but I don't think so for the number of visits to the dentist let say. You handcuff yourself too much if you decide to be a fan or not a fan of a "way of thinking" and...

    Well, the domestic cups are elimination bracket competitions. But teams from all leagues participate. Most nations have hierarchical soccer leagues: 1 main league, second level league, 3rd level league(s), 4th level leagues, ec...winners and losers of these leagues move up and down the level...

    I think the single elimination games were the most fun, so at least adding another round of that would be fun.

    Tournament beam! (Brought to you by Domas and the Triple Ks)

    Maybe add a front office type of incentive such as team gets an extra mid level exception, or their cap goes up a bit or something like that. Another one would be a guarantee least back to backs next season out of all teams. 500K is a lot of money though and for a lot of players...

    In-Season Tournament is a thing.

    I am going to enjoy it. I like cups. I think the group and knockout games will be more competitive than regular regular season games. The players will care as well because its a chance to make life better for poorer paid teammates. I think its going to be fun.

    Things you would change about the NBA

    is this a Cup where all the teams play? and then the final 4 are in December? Cups work in european/world soccer cause there are multiple leages bellow the top leage and everyone participates. but here there is just one league. so why have a Cup?
