The race to the NBA Cup is finally here!
Can you feel the excitement?????
I’m not someone who thinks the NBA regular season is meaningless.
In fact, I believe the exact opposite.
I believe that every single game from October until the Spring matters.
That extra “meaning” just isn’t there.
That’s a big game regardless of what it happens.
Same thing with Klay’s return to GS for the first time as a Mav.
Is there extra juice in that matchup because it’s coming in a fake tournament?
To me, I say no.
I’m not sure it’s possible for you to.
What exactly does it take for these games to be viewed that way?
Is it just a time thing?
If so, how many years does it take?
Teams (and fans) care about the Larry O’Brien trophy.
As long as that thing exists, that will always be what the NBA season is about.
Does anyone give a shit that the Lakers won this thing last year?
Did that matter at all once they were quickly eliminated from therealtournament that matters?
I just don’t feel the significance yet, and I’m not sure I ever will.
