Maybe a downside of this is that spots 7-9 on the roster are less competitive than they may have been when 8 was a hard cutoff, but the trade off is getting more competition at 9-11 with those teams having at least some incentive to win late season games.

I think the fight for the six seed also replaces this, especially when you had situations in prior years where 6 and 7 were in a place where they couldn't really move into a home court seed but also weren't in danger of falling to 9. But now they have to try to fight to avoid the playin.

Yeah it creates multiple thresholds with real benefits to being above them so it makes most teams outside of the total doldrums with real things to play for. Also the play in games (that don't feature the Hornets) are generally pretty cool. No brainer, play in owns.

jaylen brown never gets that many free throws anyway tho. he doesn’t get contact looking for free throws, he just bulldozes his way to his spot to try to actually shoot it and sometimes gets fouled on the way

Hes a coach fully extending to prevent a player who isn't aware he's there from shooting. That is dangerous and he should never do that again

So the Warriors lost by 52 and then won by 35. Is that the biggest swing in scoring margin over 2 games in NBA history? 87 point delta.

It looks like the biggest one in ~30 years. Here are four higher ones:

code:
Date		Tm		Delta
11/27/1970	Bullets		98
11/12/1966	Lakers		95
12/17/1991	Heat		88
12/30/1994	Heat		88
The Baltimore Bullets won on 11/24/70 by a score of 156-104. A few days later on the 27th they lost by a score of 107-153. Two points shy of a 100 point swing.

code:
Delta  # in NBA/ABA history
90s	 2
80s     10
70s	47
60s    242
50s    904

Look at those passes. Youngsters, this is what "no look" passes look like. NOT stare-at-your-target and then look away quickly after you whip the ball in there.

Donaghy claimed that but what he was convicted of had nothing to do those games. Fwiw, the federal investigators claimed that there was nothing to back up the claims. Seems super plausible to me but wasn't part of what was proven, just what Donaghy was claiming.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Seems like they are just getting rid of it for overtime which does make sense.
