NBA Playoffs

Recommended Posts

  • The league will be divided into six pools of five teams apiece. The pools will be composed of teams from the same conference, but that does not mean they will be based on divisions. 
  • On designated days during the first six weeks of the season, teams will play four group games. That means they will play each team in their pool once, with two games coming at home and two coming on the road.
  • The winner of each of the six pools will advance to the single-elimination stage along with two wildcard teams. The exact method of determining the wildcard teams has not been specified.
  • The semifinals and finals of the tournament will be held at a neutral site.
  • The players on the winning tournament team would receive $500,000 each.
  • The NBA's schedule, released in the offseason, will include only 80 games apiece for each team. The teams that do not advance to the knockout stage will have two more games added to their schedule. The teams that reach the tournament finals will play 83 total games.

It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level

It's like the Carabao Cup of the NBA?

sorta, kinda.  The Carabao Cup, as well as the FA Cup, are completely separate competitions.  This NBA tournament is using regular season games as the group stage.  only the knockout stage final is extra.

 

yeah...

and not that the NBA cares but it will introduce American fans to the idea of "group play" ahead of the 2026 World Cup
