Is a Boston Celtics vs. Denver Nuggets Final the best hope for the NBA’s in-season tournament?
The new NBA in-season tournament (IST) has started, but not many people seem to be looking forward to it.
The players don’t seem to be interested, and the fans don’t seem to communicate much with him either.
The tournament, promoted by NBA commissioner Adam Silver, features exciting courts and new uniforms, but to some it feels like a regular season game.
The Boston Celtics may have a chance to advance to the championship round after winning their first game of the tournament, but the real excitement will come when IST takes on the defending champion Denver Nuggets in the title game.
Celtics fans will be happy if they win the tournament, but nobody will care if they lose. The future of the tournament depends on the outcome of the championship game, and if expectations are not met, people may lose interest.
The hosts of CLNS Media’s “Garden Report” podcast addressed this very scenario in a recent episode.
