Monday gamer episode coming up got to talk about a couple of fun finishes or Lando and Sacramento

Indy and Philly talk a little bit about again when it overtime the Pelicans and the Pistons

That'll be last Don't worry because there are a lot of people out in that game

But let's start with some news to hear we haven't started with news in a while and where I want to begin Danny is

With the news is about a week ago actually we haven't talked about it yet that it sounds like of the three things that the NBA was hoping to implement

It's scheduled which are the play internament mid season tournament and the receding at once you get to the conference finals to ensure a better

Finals matchup

I thought the last of those was actually the biggest no-brainer on the most likely to get implemented looks like that's gonna be dead

Yeah, it's really disappointing to me

I mean there was a time that I was an absolutist on some of the more radical reforms like top 16 and choosing your opponent and all the type of stuff

And I kept em out and wrote a good piece on it back when it was closer to when it was you know more more prevalent in the

Conversation and I think the argument that was there and that that I now personally believe in is it's not a perfect solution

But it checks a lot of the boxes in terms of for me it makes the finals

Potentially more desirable and that's the biggest spotlight that the league has is the NBA finals

And so having the two best of those four teams I think is positive and that the logistical problems that make top 16

Especially difficult those don't apply once you get to the conference finals because there are no overlapping game

So I think that it is you know, it's not it's a Pareto optimal to use an econ to use an econ term where it doesn't really other than you could say the

The team that would have otherwise benefited from the current structure in that given year

Oh for the league and set which is the way they should think about this it's beneficial overall and yet that's not what's gonna happen

Supposedly this is cached with concerns of oh, they're gonna have to fly too far

I think there's something like 30% of the series in the past would have been East Coast to West Coast

I mean, but that's the finals too well in the Western Conference has a lot of long flights
