You made a thread to argue against a tweet made by a random white woman? Get a job...

 

[MJ Truth]

And it's going to fukk us over. In the old format we would be facing OKC and not the Nuggets.

You’re making a big assumption here.

 

[Damnshow]

Only god damn Hawks benefited from the format. I think they made the playoffs like twice from the 9th seed or something.

 

[Damnshow]

Play-in and IST were made for the same reason: to give fans more competitive regular season games. Cause it's gotten that bad.

6 extra playoff atmosphere games, you pretty much get an extra playoff series. It's working, Europeans copied the same format and they had a very competitive finish to their regular season.

LeGBT already planting LeExcuses

This is some insecure pre-emptive shyt that was weighing on this dude's mind even though I haven't seen anyone here on the Coli talk about

 

[Still Benefited]

You can go on x or any other social media platform and simply search ''play in and lebron'' there are countless of posts with several hundreds/thousands of lies of blatant lie alluding to the fact that this was a policy instituted to help lebron and no one else. You can view several posts in this forum as well saying lebron was the reason adam silver institued this rule. The notion that ''nobody truly having a discussion'' about it is simply not true, even in the initial post on the first page the lie was there as evidence. Here is a post created just recently with over 11k likes on social media just blatantly false



You still stand by your notion that no one is having a discussion about it despite the several thousand of likes? If you want further proof simply search it up on X or use the search history on this forum

And affirmative action discussions focus on minorities. Yet white women have ended up benefitting greatly

Is it Lebron hate?Sure
Just because Lebron ended up not NEEDING the play in,does it mean it wasnt invented specefically to benefit him? Just in case? Ill let you decide.

It was made for Zion, actually

You’re making a big assumption here.

For real. And the irony is that they could still play OKC. And that possibility is fully in their control if they wanna go that route.

 

[Guile]

HAM.

 

[UpAndComing]

I'm watching a couple of podcasts/shows and they are saying that Lakers should tank this game against he Pelicans because it's an easier matchup to be 8th place and face the OKC Thunder in the 1st round instead of the 2 vs 7 matchup against the Denver Nuggets

What kind of double-sided preemptive excuse making is this?

If they lose: "Oh they just wanted to face the OKC Thunder anyway"
If they win: "See, they aren't scared of the Nuggets, Lakers are championship ready!!!"

 

[jetflyinglimousineriding]

Looks like they got a benefit with the play-in this year going from the 8th seed to the 7th seed

 

[Jplaya2023]

Goddamn the lakerd got the doomsday playoff matchup. Play in fukked them this year

 

[cobra]

in fact Lebron has never lost a play in game.....another accolade for the GOAT
clutch in must win games...just look at the IST performance

He is still undefeated
