I put up both the (regular) Game Thread, Pinned.
And also, this In-Season Tournament, Quarterfinals thread, Un-Pinned.

I figure that people are going to be talking a lot about both Games.
This is an Unusual action.
Though, this Tournament is an Unusual occurrence, in itself.

The sam Hauser versus A Nesmith match up is what we have all been waiting for..

JT fiddy burger incoming. 50 pts in the Finals and this tourney are the ones missing in his resume.

But I'll settle for 20 pts for JT but another 50-pt win against the Pacers.

I was going to say that Indy will be motivated by the fact they lost to the Celtics by 51 points in the first meeting but the problem with that is the Pacers play zero defense and are last in the NBA in defensive efficiency.

If the Celtics are focused they should come away with an expected win.

We Win this, then each player gets moved up to $100,000.
The Bench can use that.

Edit:
Looks like the Two-Way Contract players get half.

The winners go to Las Vegas for semifinal games on Dec. 7, and those winners play Dec. 9 to be the first team to hoist the NBA Cup and win $500,000 per player, $250,000 for those on two-way deals.

Celtics' top five earners all blow the entire Indiana team out of the water, career-earnings wise.

Going to be some young guns hungry for a Christmas bonus.

Maybe Indiana will even try on D.

So each winning player receives a half a million dollars? Do coaches get anything? I'm confused about what is this for ? A mid season trophy or is this an attempt to stop tanking ? Is there mvp or a trophy

Someone posted it, the coaches get money from a pool or something. Everybody gets paid.

The plot thickens.

They need to simply this.
For some reason, I think that putting 8 teams in from each Conference would make it easier?

[Celts17Pride]

I want to win this tournament so bad mainly just so the RealGM community can hate the Celtics even more.

[shackles10]

I know some don't agree, but I went from "wait and see" to "this tournament kicks ass" pretty quickly lol. I like that good teams can be left out and a Cinderella style team can win it all. I think the scoring differential ruffles some feathers, but definitely adds intrigue to games that would otherwise be boring blowouts so I don't mind that either. Also, with some exceptions, I like the courts as a gimmick for these as well and don't care that most of you hate them lol. Although next year I want ours to be parquet up the middle with green on the outsides. Gold or white out of bounds lines...

Ties go to the Team. – Cutoff Time, is when the Game Thread is made.

Not that big of a deal and I know that's how it's been done since the beginning, but it just bothers me that "ties go to the team". Take for example the game vs. the Sixers. White and Horford were far and above better than the rest of the team, but they're nearly tied in the votes. Can't possibly "reward" the team for their underwhelming play with a VC vote. Flip a coin, throw darts, anything, but Horford and White need to get the VC and CP here.
