Did anyone besides the hardest of hardcore basketball fans care about four individual games between games 9 and 21 on a team's schedule? How about six maybe seven games before a team has play 25 games on their schedule? Because that is the tournament. Regular season games that they were playing anyway.
The NBA should be reducing the number of regular season games. We all know that. We also know that the owners have no desire to do that. The Heat have the Bucks, Knicks, Wizards and Hornets in their group. I still may not watch that Wizard game but I am much more likely to watch that Wizards game because of the tournament than I would without it.

And until a colored man is a full citizen, like me, I haven’t the leisure to enjoy the freedom that colored man risked his life to maintain for me. I don’t own what I have until he owns an equal share of it. Until somebody beats me and blinds me, I am in his debt."- Orson Welles August 11, 1946
