The league thinks they have improved things. And I think I think that's right. In fact, like I, I do think that's right there, you know, by flattening the odds, which they did in twenty nineteen. By adding the play-in, even though the play-in's not perfect, we remember the Mavs in 2022, 2023, my years are all mixed up, sort of bowing out of the 10th place race. Sure. The Raptors, if they wanted.

Yes. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. The Raptors, you know, this year, if they really wanted, didn't need to rest Emmanuel quickly and Jakob Pertl and could have chased the Chicago Bulls and now the Miami Heat, who are somehow in 10th after losing every game. Like, to some teams who need to build, who know they have, whose aspirations are

you know not currently within reach like losing games is going to be more important than getting that one or two extra road games by the way like you don't even get home revenue from it it's it's road games now i think the the counter to that is like look at the west look at phoenix fighting look at uh um the young blazers who are like sort of the team you know my

heroes of the year are almost the portland trailblazers because they are actually incentivized to you know punt on this season and they're not but a team like the suns of course they're trying to make the play and they have there's nothing for them to gain from from finishing 11th they don't have their picks anyway yeah um you you just don't want your fans thinking the result of a game

is either meaningless or it could be potentially harmful if you win, because then you're devaluing the individual units of your product. And I think over time that becomes corrosive to growing the game. Obviously, the league is doing fine. They have a nice, rich TV deal. But if you get more micro about that, you get more insular into it. You'll realize that these games that, you know,

Even if they're being competed, even if the players are competing super hard, if the organizations don't really care about them, then the fans are going to see that. And, you know, for every fan base that bounces back once they become good, maybe there are some that, you know, just tune out and in a world of many, many distractions, don't tune back in.

The first thing they have to do is stop incentivizing losing. There are still better odds and a lower floor you can fall to the worse you are. So they've got to stop doing that. My dream scenario is you take the 14 teams that don't make the playoffs and the eight teams that lose in the first round, shake them in a big bucket, pull them out one to 22 at the end of the year.
