I posted a thread on the 'main' board (NBA Discussion) regarding the possibilities of creating and testing some sort of 'suicide' game for basketball similar to what is available to the NFL...obviously it would be more intricate and require a little bit of work to design up front....one game per week won't cut it, and there's too many games to only choose one team a week and only that team.
But if anyone is interested, please contribute to the thread...
