The NBA Cup reforms from next year’s Emirates Cup, they should not be limited to just the name.
Last week in a document cited by the Associated Press, the NBA advanced some reform hypotheses of his intra-seasonal tournament or in-season tournament to try to incentivize player participation and the weight of competition in the bigger picture of a full NBA season. Among the ideas, because this is still a question at the moment, there would be that of assign the favorable tie breaker in case of parity in the standings and for the grill playoffs e play-in to the team you are performed better at the tournament.
Another move under consideration would be that “not to count points scored in extra time” of a match also valid only for the single-day phase of the tournament, and therefore do not count them for the aforementioned tie breaker. There points difference between teams it is in fact one of the criteria with which the NBA resolves situations of parity in the standings, in addition to direct clashes and intra-conference records. This is to avoid that, if a team needs it, it could “voluntarily sending a game into overtime to fix a point difference on purpose“.
NBA, are fewer fouls called since the All-Star Game?
In the same document, in another section, the NBA ha denied “of having given directives to the referees“to call fewer fouls and award fewer free throws per game since the All-Star Game break,”in an attempt to lower the final scores“.
The league then denied through its competition commitee than the actual drop of 12.6% Of free throws attempted he was born in 3.5% in the scores finals of the matches, is due to a specific directive. There average points overall has passed from 115.5 in the pre All-Star Game period ai 111.3 from mid-February onwards, and fouls per game went from 19.4 to 17.5 today. As a result, trips to the line have also dropped from 22.7 before the All-Star Game to the 19.8 recorded today.
