This NBA play in shyt is corny.

[FunkDoc1112]

We lucked into having two top 5 players in 7th/8th but we've really only gotten ONE good game out of this shyt

Like we really bout to be delaying the playoffs an extra week just to determine what bottom feeders get smashed

Exactly. Higher seeds are now 5-0 once Wiz finish stomping Pacers. So if the 7 and 8 seeds gonna hold anyway this shyt was pointless, the stats from the games dont even count to anything lmao...

This shyt not pointless. I’m 100% sure Washington would punted this season if not for this play in and probably GS as well. This shyt kept teams with a incentive to keep pushing

So at the end of the day this play in crap was pointless in the East. 100% waste of time.

A team that blew out a team, got blown out the very next game, in a fukkin' playoff setting with "high" stakes at that

i think it's straight, especially with shortened seasons

I don’t get why people keep this saying this. The Wizards were never that far out to where getting the 8 seed was unrealistic.

If any teams were to be the example of not to giving up on the season to try to make the play-in it would be the Bulls & Kings

The higher seed went 5-1, and the NBA misses its 2nd most important and iconic player in the playoffs, in a year they earned the 8 seed and would be in if they went the traditional route...

fukk this college shyt, should be the last time they do this dumb shyt...

You know you my guy but in this instance I'm loving the new format

Yeah . Seeing Steph get bounced and Ja maturing and ascending professionally before our very eyes was wildly entertaining but we’d probably never get this scenario again . They need to nix this shyt .

Ppl who opposed this look dumb as hell right now
One of the most hyped games this year with lakers warriors
One of the highest viewed games this year in warriors grizz
Multiple clutch performances from team stars
Young players having career moments like Tatum and Ja

by every metric damn near this was a success
And if you don’t care about any of that for whatever reason the real playoffs start today
