The last day of the Emirates NBA Cup’s elimination round is finally done. It doesn’t mean that the in-season tournament is over, though. Remember, eight teams are still alive. How these teams perform should be intriguing to follow and we now have something to cheer about in the early parts of December.
The third week of the Emirates NBA Cup (formerly known as the In-Season Tournament) gave us hints on which teams got eliminated and which teams gained paths to the Knockout Rounds.

The Emirates NBA Cup (formerly known as the In-Season Tournament) is here. The event, which gives teams something to fight for early in the season, is in its second year.

You have Minnesota, which could very well be in the East, and you have Portland, which is all the way in the upper left corner of the country.
Despite the exceedingly long wait, the next NBA season is nearly upon us. Next thing you know, we will be reading stories about training camps from the different teams.
NBA action returns soon. It’s less than two months away and we can’t wait. One thing we can do, though, is study the different team schedules to find anything interesting.
