By Branduil Go To PostI'd change it toI like the idea of the #1 seed getting a bye, actually. In basketball that would be huge considering the grind of the regular season.
1. 7 teams make the playoffs in each conference, #1 gets a first-round bye.
2. Possibility of #7, #8, and #9 in play-in games, #8 and #9 are only eligible if they finish within 5 games of #7.
Now you have less trash first-round series and there's actual incentive to finish 1st in your conference.
By jjasper Go To Postplay in is fine but there needs to be some adjustments. As dumb as it was that a team like the Spurs could have been in the playoffs instead of the lakers I think after this year 7 is going to be a permanent part as it caused much more and intrigue than the races for 8-10. Easiest fix would be cut offs and lottery rewards for making the play in but not the playoffsObjectively there is no way the 7th seed won't be included past this year with how well it was received. 8-10 is just a playoff game to award the winner with getting stomped by the 1 seed lol
So Jazz are going to get the Warriors in the first round most likely?
Sorry, Suns fans. Please go beat them.

By Branduil Go To PostGS deserved to lose wearing those terrible unis.The unis are dope.
slaent boys, my new girlfriend tryna cuck me
i get her on the bed and she about to fuck me
things take a turn for the worse when i'm about to nut
she tells me she wants to slip a thumb into my butt
every way she can she tells me to bend over
so she can stick her hand up me like i'm that big blue muppet grover
telling me that if i wanna show i really care
that i'll lose the attitude and that i'll tell her that i won't be scared
tell her i'll trim the excess hair that's all down there
but i protect my rim like i am rudy gobert
i say 'baby, when you do it, why you wear that thing?'
she flash her diamond, say 'rudy that's the only way you'll get a ring'
i say 'damn, that's a deep cut to the utah jazz
why you have to bring them into this thing between you and my ass'
she says 'shut up fool, i just wanna see you cummin
that's why i'm always hanging round that rim like i'm goddamn andre drummond'

Easiest fix would be cut offs and lottery rewards for making the play in but not the playoffsI agree, I also think they need to do what they did in the bubble where there needs to be a certain amount of games the team would need to be behind from the 8 seed to qualify for the play in.
By pkaz01 Go To PostI agree, I also think they need to do what they did in the bubble where there needs to be a certain amount of games the team would need to be behind from the 8 seed to qualify for the play in.They also need to figure out the tiebreaker situation. Maybe the game separation rule would help with that.
Dallas being 5th seed and thus avoiding the play-in (and flipside Lakers being in play-in) with same record as Lakers/Blazers because they won a shit division is dumb.
the NBA just got 6 more games with high ratings, you'll have to do better than "It's dumb" for them to get rid of it.
By reilo Go To PostThey also need to figure out the tiebreaker situation. Maybe the game separation rule would help with that.Divisions needed to be scrapped 10 years ago.

By diehard Go To Postthe NBA just got 6 more games with high ratings, you'll have to do better than "It's dumb" for them to get rid of it."It's dumb" is more likely to get stuff added. All-Star weekend is full of examples.

I see he’s trying to get the “Trae should get 20 FTA” train started early.

By jar155 Go To Post"It's dumb" is more likely to get stuff added. All-Star weekend is full of examples.I agree with this. It being successful is going to push Silver to do his mid season tournament only hang up is probably figuring out the rewards for winning so that it makes sense
Midseason tournament? Abso-fucking-lutely not.
I will say though, but games last night were really, really good. So as much as I like dislike it's current iteration the playin is going to stick around.
Tonight though? This might be unwatchable.

By jar155 Go To PostJust give us promotion and relegation. It's seriously more exciting and dramatic than playoffs.Relegated to where? The D-league?
By Not Go To PostI'd be down for the Agua Caliente Clippers to win it allGet out.
Even the other games averaged over 2M viewers which is 60% more than the average regular season game.
By diehard Go To Postlike we were saying, play-in isn't going anywhere.Eventually the new car smell goes away. I hope they tweak going forward.
By blackace Go To PostEventually the new car smell goes away. I hope they tweak going forward.
I'm still waiting on them to change the 1st round back to best of 5.
By post-sy Go To PostI'm still waiting on them to change the 1st round back to best of 5.by the time you become Fender's age the Finals will be best of 13
By Stern Go To PostJust get rid of play-in altogether. It's dumb.word, it's trash.
By reilo Go To PostThere are probably 10 plays like that from the game last night. Nail him to the fucking bench Vogel
big yikes
