It's just stupid.  Round robin games and then a single elimination tournament for a certain number of teams.  I see no point in it but whatever they think it makes the regular season more important.  Players get like 500k if their team wins it.

Just an attempt, I think, to create more meaningful games during the season and keep the stars on the court. 

Basically it seems the season plays out like normal but certain games are designated is "in season tournament" games. those games count for the regular record but also the in season tourney record... So the Nets have played 3 games designated for the tournament and they are 2-1 in group C of the tourney (with boston, chicago, orlando and toronto).   6 groups total, 3 in the east 3 in the west. Each group has a winner and each conference has a wildcard.  so 8 teams advance to bracket play. Winner gets 500k or something. 

 

this is simply what i have gleaned from listening to broadcasts and seeing the standings on nba.com

If half the stars sit out like the regular season, I don't see how this will add viewers

Stars are playing in these games.
