Yes, the NBA had its first in season tournament this year, but it's done within the context of regular season games. I honestly didn't really pay much attention to it, but the Lakers won the tournament.

Sad that the Lakers won. Our old buddy DLO hit a clutch corner 3 to help seal the victory.

Free Throws - Lakers 29, Pelicans 15

What would the disparity have been if it was in LA?

The rest of the franchises must be complicit in this. Otherwise I think we would hear a lot more complaining about it. Everyone seems to just go along with the program figuring it helps everyone's bottom line. Well, except for the fans of course.

Meh.

It's only been 22 out of the past 23 games Cool.



[Note: The one exception was in a blowout win vs. the lowly Wizards who were trying to lose. Remember, last year it was 42 out of 45 games... including all playoff games except for the blowout win vs. Memphis when the Grizzlies deep bench players went to the line in the 2nd half down 30+ points.]
