Do they actually know the all red court is hard to watch on TV?

u/WashingtonSpecifics 4d ago

Even if they do, would the league office really care?

u/lambopanda 4d ago

Absolutely not.

Been saying for years that they should use the tricolor ABA ball to contrast

Love the idea, hate the execution.

Should have done some badass space or galaxy themed court. The red is trash

Dude imagine the court is black with some spacey kind of stars across it. They’d never do it but MAN that would be the coolest floor

u/Outside_Narwhal_5127 4d ago

That would be the hardest shit of all time

Kill me.

I hate all court designs for NBA cup, its pure assault on the ocular nerves.

Man, that really hurts your eyes!!

The colored courts look terrible on tv

The team name on both sides of the court reminds me of using text clip art in a middle school PowerPoint presentation

u/j1h15233 Rockets 4d ago

Why does the whole court have to be red? It’s such an eye sore on tv

u/RunWorkSleep 4d ago

Ugly. Could have done a whole space team, black with stars but nope.

Stupid ass tournament.

We are winning this year I think. I expect us to be one of the most hungry teams early season. Other than Cavs and 6ers, no team has as much to prove as us. Fred wants to show he is healthy and unaffected by the injury, KD wanna prove he still can win, Alpi pr is trash and wants to show he is a winning player, Amen wants to show he can be dpoy conversation and he should be a lock to all defense teams, Reed wants to prove he was a worthy high pick and fight for starting job, Tari wants to prove he deserved a better salary, Jabari wants to prove he exists.

I can see the team taking tournament more seriously than other teams and go for it

Why are there 3 goddamn cups?? 😭😭

u/BobSacamano1988 3d ago

This whole CUP concept is an L for me.

u/NamiRocket 4d ago

What the fuck is with that Halloween ass font on the court?

u/pahweee 4d ago

Symmetry sucks, colors suck, logo sucks, cup logo design sucks... What am I supposed to enjoy about this court exactly?

u/BluntsvilleTexas 4d ago

I know the Cup has grown on a lot of fans, but I'm over it and everything about it.

Then he'll be left breathless

u/TheHeardTheorem Cassel 3d ago

All you have to do is pretend it’s not happening and enjoy the regular season game that it also counts as. Problem solved!

u/AmazingCoffee9795 4d ago

how could it upset you

u/Avatar_Yalla 4d ago

Doubling down on these ugly ass courts is something else….it should say DORITOS HEAT on the baseline. Having Clutch City there is embarrassing, 🙈 why not H-Town?!!!

u/lambopanda 4d ago

Trying to give false hope to people that this is our year to win it all.

u/sliceoflife09 4d ago

Boise State type court meets NFL color rush....

u/reddit_sage69 4d ago

Needs more ads

u/TheHeardTheorem Cassel 3d ago

I feel like Steve Kerr’s “depths of hell” comment solidified that our court will always be red and our Cup viewing experience will forever be like….

That lower case t is absolutely killing me in ROCKEtS 🫠

u/lambopanda 4d ago

We had the “t” back in the championship years.
