I’ve noticed over recent years I believe it started in 2015 when I was watching the Brooklyn nets take on the Toronto raptors in the first round the NBA playoff decals were missing on the court. A lot of people make think it’s meaningless but just like the NHL taking them away recently I think it’s part of the tradition. When you present the logo on the ice or Court for either NBA or NHL you can definitely feel like it’s a playoff game rather than a season game. The NFL and the MLB still put their playoff postseason logos on the grass and field. Why can’t the NBA and NHL do it? Plus during the NBA finals just to point out there is no Larry O’Brien trophy on the court. Yes some people may find it ugly having a big trophy on the court I will agree it’s too large but make it smaller and still have it displayed. After all it’s the NBA finals. Instead the NBA decided to go with the digital finals logos on the court when you’re watching TV. I feel like it’s better to see it when you’re at the game itself live. They move around too much on the TV but that’s just me. The playoffs logo is now the sidelines players were complaining about slipping but it doesn’t seem to be a factor anymore. Perhaps the league is one step closer on bringing them back on court one day.
