00:00 Now we talked about the NBA in season tournament
00:02 and neither of us were quite sold on it.
00:05 However, then I saw the courts for the tournament.
00:09 And I will admit some of them are a little distracting,
00:13 but some of them were really cool.
00:15 So are you warming up to this idea at all yet?
00:17 - Nope.
00:18 But like you, I was watching the game.
00:22 I'm like, am I watching on Nickelodeon?
00:24 Is this like that slime thing they do for the NFL?
00:26 Because what are these courts?
00:28 I didn't hate them,
00:29 but it was like, it was kind of jarring, like distracting.
00:31 Like I thought, what am I watching?
00:32 - Bright colors and you kind of really couldn't see
00:34 the players as well as you maybe would like to.
00:37 - And if I'm a player, I'm like, where am I out of bounds?
00:39 Am I in the paint?
00:40 What am I doing here?
00:41 - It was good that they distinguished though,
00:42 'cause that was the way,
00:44 otherwise people wouldn't know
00:45 if it was an in-season tournament.
00:47 - It makes it feel special, which I'm trying to do.
00:50 And you know, the problem is,
00:51 you know, when you're really good at something,
00:53 people will tell you, like, you're really good.
00:55 If you're not really good at it,
00:57 but you think you're good, you tell other people,
00:59 "Hey, look how good I am."
01:00 The NBA is like trying to tell us,
01:01 "Look how good this is."
01:02 And we're like, we'll let you know if it's good or not.
01:05 Now, to that point, I saw that the ratings were up 35%
01:10 from a regular Friday night game on ESPN,
01:12 35% more people watched the interment game.
01:15 So maybe it is a special thing, but it's not growing.
01:18 To me, it felt like a regular season game
01:19 with a funky court.
01:20 - Yeah.
01:21 Hey, maybe when it starts to get down to the wire,
01:24 it'll feel different.
01:25 - My mind is more open than it was
01:27 when we went last time.
01:27 - Okay, okay.
01:28 - Maybe it was the court.
01:29 - Good.
