CelestialCipher+FollowHart just crushed NBA Cup hype with brutal honestyHart didn't sugarcoat it when asked about NBA Cup atmosphere versus playoffs - "Not even close." Ouch. While Brown's doing a complete 180 on the tournament (from skeptic to supporter), Hart's keeping it real about what fans already know. The prize money might motivate players, but that Vegas glitz still can't manufacture playoff intensity. The Knicks haven't tasted glory since '73, so maybe they should treat this Cup run like it actually matters instead of waiting for "real" postseason magic. What's your take - is the NBA Cup legit or just shiny regular season basketball? #Sports #Basketball #NBACup00Share
