It's a ridiculous game design decision to provide teams with an incentive to not win.

The NBA and the owners of the NBA playoffs teams also do not want series sweeps. Extra TV revenue and extra gate receipts for every game. They all want game 7. Fans will sell out every game in the playoffs.


And what was the last team in any of the major sports that came out and threw a game rather than finishing off a series so that they or the league or anyone else would get more money? I mean, depending on how you define the terms maybe the Black Sox gambling scandal? The postseason should be about determining champions, promotion and relegation, not something to be min/maxed for extra revenue.

I'm sorry. I forgot that since this was your thread I couldn't respond to anyone else and discuss the issue as a whole, rather than focusing specifically on your case. You're right, the attendance was screwy, because fans should care about promotion games every single time, even if the teams competing for them don't have to.

Jeez, the point was...and forget my own situation for a moment
If let's say some other team played their butts off and got beat on a buzzerbeater in overtime, attendance still would have gone down for game 3
get it?
Do you get it yet?
Do you need a translation to another language
in relating it to my situation I've already given up, you win, you all win
now please post away

Jekk ejja ngħidu xi tim l-ieħor kellu butts tagħhom off u ltqajna taħbit fuq buzzerbeater fl-sahra, l-attendenza xorta kienu niżlu għall-kaċċa 3
nikseb dan?

This game's all in good fun folks, let's not get so testy

why would you gamble your season like that and lose i dont understand that part?. , i sold 15 kseat my last game and I was playing away versus a bot team in my championship match.

Me personally i think playing performace effect ticket sales. I dont know but it seems that way

Btw good with your future game.

Yes a lot of teams throw game 2, but they don't go whining because they didn't have a sold out arena for game 3.
