Having to win one game instead of two is a big difference. But, that's not the point. If the NBA never needed a play-in before. Why does it need it now? You're rewarding losing teams. It made legit sense last year cause of a pandemic that caused uneven amount of games played. Does it make sense for the league cause it adds drama and creates basically a little extended playoffs? Sure which is why it probably isn't going anywhere, but that doesn't make it right. I thought the play-in was dumb long before the Lakers were in contention. If we were 31-32 like the Spurs I would still think its dumb from a rewarding teams for what they did in the regular season perspective. Like trust me there will be years when the 7 seed is like 7-10 games better than the 10 seed. Edited May 3, 2021 by TheRealMcCoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealMcCoy Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) lmao facts this team has been worse since they came back... they were playing unselfish basketball when they didn't have them with lots of off movement and going at it on defense. the offense still sucked but at least they were trying to play the right way.

This is missing the point. the point of the play-in has been successful. we're not caring about the value of the 7th and 8th seeds reg szn enough to stop it lol this last 2-3 weeks has been/will continue to be incredibly important for LA, Dallas, Portland, Memphis, San Antonio, Golden State, New Orleans kinda, Knicks, Hawks, Heat, Celtics, Hornets, Pacers, Wizards, Raptors, Bulls. then we get a tourney that is way better than caring about the reg szns of the 7th and 8th seeds lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealMcCoy Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Like I'm not arguing the play-in doesn't spice things up. That wasn't what I was arguing. If that's all you are trying to say, then I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you would be surprised by how much he's been trashed on Twitter for weeks now. Then again I don't follow clueless Lakers fans so maybe the ones who just touted his rebounding numbers are catching up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I'd rather be the 7th or 8th seed and lose first round to the Jazz or Suns than lose to the Clippers. **** this whole season if that happens lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Smithers Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I just don’t see the point of a play in game. I don’t think the players are even for it. What the reason even for it? To spice things up? If so that’s a pretty crappy reason for it. In the grand scheme of things it don’t really matter all that much but i still find it unnecessary to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
