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.
