@theragu40 @Ph0mX I think the tournament is unnecessary, but the games do matter, they count for the regular season record.
Ah, that is an interesting wrinkle I didn't realize! Still confused but less so. Thank you!
So is it like game played in the tournament and won is less games that have to be played for the rest of the season? Confused, since some teams would rather opt for load management.
@NightOwl no, all tournament games count as regular season games (except the final). Teams that don't advance to the knockouts will continue playing regular season games as the tournament is happening. But this is super confusing and the NBA has done a terrible job of explaining it. I think maybe even some teams haven't understood the concept yet.
