The NBA has admitted to inflating its viewership numbers in the past but these numbers are laughable! Anything to pretend we give a rats ass about this “tournament”.

Yet, the NFL on Prime Video did north of 17m last week for Lions/Packers. Kind of glad to see the NBA cup failing.

Finalists should get automatic top 5 seeds. Winner should get an automatic top 4 seed meaning homecourt in the First Round.

Since the championship game only means something to rookies and bench players, teams should rest their starters.
