Fair point. I do think the in-season tournament was a big success and even though I was skeptical about it at first, it did add some intrigue to these early season games. In fact, it was so successful that the week after I didn't really watch any NBA because those were just regular, regular season games. Haha.
NBA must not be pleased about the NFL adding 3 games to Christmas Day. That's definitely going to hurt their TV numbers for Christmas day games.
