Watch as Luka Doncic criticizes the idea of the NBA play-off tournament, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban, told ESPN that the concept is “a huge error”, especially debited to the reduced calendar of this temporary.
“It’s clear what the NBA is up to,” Cuban said in a series of messages to ESPN. “But if we’re going to be creative to COVID, we’re going to be direct from 1 to 20 and say the last 4 games to enter. This is the year in particular for hacerlo, there are 10 games eliminated [del calendario normal de 82 juegos ] institan en conferencia ”.
“The only part of this game is that it duplicates the calendar’s hidden data. To play by one place in the playoffs and can descend to the players while the classification becomes clearer, the teams have to play each game as a playoff game to get in the top 6 is what the consequences, like Luka’s, are huge. As the players are playing more games and less minutes in less days “.
The NBA Governing Body, which includes Cuban, unanimously approved a proposal to implement a play-off tournament for this season, noting that the league used it first before the playoffs in the borough of Verona. 2020.
“In retrospect, it was a huge mistake,” Cuban told ESPN.
Dallas (29-24) is in the seventh place in the classification of the Conference West, which means that tendrian who participates in the play-off tournament can not ascend. The Mavs are behind the games of the Portland Trail Blazers, which can be found between the teams they play in Dallas in their three tracks.
“Do not understand the idea of a play-in”, dijo Doncic el lunes. “There are 72 games to play in the playoffs, there are many games to follow and there are games to play in the playoffs. As far as I can tell.”
The concept of play-in includes the teams that end the season at the end of each conference. The structure, which the NBA announced in March, includes three games at each conference.
The septa and octavo crews lie down between them, and the hunter lifts the septa. The teams of the new and decimate place will also play between them, with the loser eliminated from the competition for the playoffs. The loser of the “Siete-Ocho Game” and the winner of the “Nueve-Diez Game” game, with the octave game of playoffs in game.
“At a regular time of 82 games in which we will not play more than 30 games in 6 weeks, entrons may have been well,” Cuban told ESPN. “Per the compression of so many games in such cases it was found in a huge error. “It’s a time when it’s ten to descend on the users of alto uso. No tenemos option. And it can tener and tend to consequences”.
The Mavericks generally descend to Kristaps Porzingis by a back-to-back game and occasionally descend to Doncic by trams in the back-to-back.
