Will root for wins the first two games and see what happens. Would be great experience for Scoot Sharpe and the rest to go to Vegas.
Utah is bad. Like really bad. They're all set for epic 2025 tankathon. (pending Markkanen, Clarkson etc etc trades)
San Antonio is still in the "bad" group. Even with the new name, and it being in it's 2nd year, I still don't give half a shit about the in season tournament. Does anyone even care that the Lakers "won" it last year? I doubt even Laker fans care.
I thought the tournament was great, it was my favorite part of the season until the playoffs. Maybe you prefer to watch events like allstar weekend - I can't stand any of that. Will be awesome if some year the Blazers can make the cup semi finals - I'll definitely try to go to Vegas and watch them. If you don't like it then just ignore these threads and consider them regular season games... I don't understand why anyone has criticisms.
Spurs might be bad but Wemby could legit be MVP so I wouldn't be suprised if they're surprisingly better than we expect and fighting for the #6th seed. But yes certainly possible they're pretty bad. CP3 contract having a bonus for 32 wins was interesting and makes me wonder if they might really try to stack up some wins though. Blazers and Utah don't have the Spurs wins upside this year.
Spurs will be back in the playoffs before we know it. There’s a team that more than any will be content with however the season goes, knowing it will only get better with Wemby and now Castle who should be able to contribute from the start.
