Unfortunately, outside interests (casinos, networks, etc.) are now dictating policy in most (if not all) sports today. Perfect example is that asinine "in season tournament" in the NBA (which was a joke anyway).Something is really wrong with the league. It has been poorly officiated for years but this year it’s mysteriously even worse. Way worse. The only thing that I can think of is the gambling interests are interfering. But really it’s just a terrible loom for a pro league.
