Winner Goes Mile High | OKC @ Minnesota Timberwolves Play-In Game for 8th (ESPN)

[ALonelyDad]

Cant wait to overreact tomorrow when some random bottom seed wins game 1

Cavs lost two play in games last year and used it to win 51 games and hca in the first round this year

No there gm used it as motivation to go out and make the team better via Donovan Mitchell.

Charlotte lost the playin two years in a row.

Didn't realize Rivers was that far down the rotation, I figured he was injured

Not sure why he's that low on the depth chart in the post season cause he usually balls out in playoff games. Being consistent in a night in and night out basis during the regular season is where he always struggled big time

I’m just complaining becaue I don’t like the format of the playin. OKC won. They should be allowed in the postseason. Change the format to 7 vs 10 and 8 vs 9. Win gets in and loser goes home. The current format of the bottom playin team having to win twice before playing the the one seed is ridiculous

 

[kdslittlebro]

they were the 8 seed after the regular season

my point is the play-in gives a chance for more players to get in for being a low seed. and that makes no sense. Everything else is just narrative to justify it. Steph was number 1 in scoring for the season. Shai was not the best guard this season

Can’t control the seed, only amount of wins. I don’t think these 2 extra games will be the difference in where he’s placed anyway, especially one being a blowout L. Imma be honest tho like I said I really dc where he ends up these awards don’t put money in my pocket I just watch the games. I just thought the seed argument was disingenuous

Win more games then, they gotta earn that spot. Makes the end of the year interesting and makes more games matter.

Team would’ve made the offs without the trade especially if Lauri broke out like he did in Utah and the return of sexton who only played ina handful of games. Mobley,Allen,and Garland all said the hurt of last year fueled them to get better this year But of course Donovan takes us to another level

seeding determines if u made the playoffs. dude got the same 82 games everyone else got

he literally got a narrative all NBA selection, like Westbrooks MVP

I’m with you on that fraud ass MVP

Western conference 1st round matchups are all up in the air. Any team can win, although I give slight edge to Suns in that Clippers matchup cause PG out.

There’s an argument for Shai as the best guard this year

Dam you big mad

I'm gonna be honest, I got a lil ahead of myself with the insulting comments, and then I got sad when I was wrong. I was also slightly tipsy at the time of my now incorrect statements. But hey, you live and you learn right. That's why pencils have erasers

But why though? It ain't that serious. At least you got to see the Raptors win a title. Imagine being a Clippers fan
